Hi, I wanted to treat my pigs with some toys, are there any that anyone's piggies really like (that I can get online)? I'm stuck on ideas as some are really expensive and the woven balls they love I usually get from my local pet shop I can't get as the store is closed and they are really expensive online. :)
(So far I'm buying a sea grass tunnel and a piggie-safe wooden toy with a bell inside :) )
 
Mine don’t care much for shop bought toys apart from willow tunnels and the carrot houses.
Other than that they like anything paper/cardboard stuffed with hay like loo rolls. The thing they love most is brown paper bags but they only last a day and then to be thrown out. Invest in a bunch of those for a few £ on amazon and they’ll love you dearly! I do ship off the handles so they don’t get stuck in them
 
I've found mine like big sheets of crumpled, then uncrumpled paper and they hide under it. I had lots that had been used to pad out a handbag I recently bought. You can buy packs of paper floor mats for cars online, kind of A3 size. When they are out on the grass, my girl goes under it and eats the grass to have some peace from her horny husboar 🤭
 
Mine love a paper carrier bag (handles removed) full of hay and forage. They usually destroy it in a few hours but enjoy doing it. Also, the cardboard tubes from toilet roll/kitchen roll stuffed with hay or grass (maybe with a bit of veg hidden in there too). Piggies don't care if a toy is homemade.

I've used cereal boxes in the past with holes cut here and there and stuffed with hay

Thanks! I have been making a lot of homemade ones but I can't resist treating them... They do their cutest 'I'm so hard-done-by because I don't have any new shop-bought expensive toys' faces. 😁

Sounds like they have you exactly where they want you. Wrapped around their little piggy toes
 
Have you seen the metal skewers you can buy like this

Not exactly toys I know, but my pigs loved having to work for their veggies that I put on it
Yep, I might invest in this, I made the pigs a 'washing line' where their veg is pegged up so they have to work for it, and they love it so I will probs get one of these :)

It's funny when one bites a piece of cucumber "I'll take that thank you very much", and turns away then says "what, wait, it's still attached..? 🤷🏻‍♀️
