Hi everyone,

Not sure if this is the right place to put this - I wasnt sure where to put it.

I've just had a bit of drama with my little girl Gertrude. I was sat on my laptop and could hear her moving around eating her hay like she normally does, she's a right hoover, doesnt let any food go to waste. She has this hay ball that I got from, PETS AT HOME (grrr), and you stuff hay into it. Next thing I could hear, bashing/banging loads of noise, I look over and she has her head STUCK in this toy. Picture below of toy. I whipped her out of her cage, and gently got it off - I got her out of it, and gave her lots of piggy cuddles to calm her down.

Toy is now in the bin. Just thought I'd share it incase anyone has this toy - to watch out. To be honest, looking back - it sounds a bit funny and people may laugh at her head being stuck, but awww bless Gertie, I bet she was in her element, head shoved in loads of hay - but didnt want her to be hurt!

Thanks a lot for sharing this! I'm glad that your piggy is okay! I was going to get one but price was very expensive and now I will not especially after reading this!

I have also had a similar thing happen. It is terrifying!
Thank you for warning us. It is always good to keep these sort of toy warnings up to date for new members.

Poor Gertie. I am glad she is ok now.
