Any tips to keep piggies occupied?

[erty_pigs]

I have had my two lovely ladies for 2 weeks now, and despite all efforts, would rather lay around and be lazy than be active during floor time!

I was just wondering if any of you lovely people had any ideas so I can make floor time/even cage time more interesting?

Here is a cute pic of Penny's face and Zelda's bum (a common theme in pictures of these two apparently) xx>>>

I have 2 boars. Buzz is the lazy one and would rather lay around no matter what they have to occupy themselves. Woody on the other hand is 'high maintence!' He needs constant occupying. Latest things they have are plastic tunnels, cardboard chew tubes, wicker baskets filled with hay and hidden veggies, carboard toilet rolls and a small ball. I am constantly rotating what they have, so they never know what to expect. They also get at least an hour (sometimes much more) in the run in the garden.

This seems to work for us.

Maybe your piggies are just laid back?

Ditto enjoys chewing on apple tree branches, and loo roll tubes, i also have a large bowl of hay for him and i hide small pieces of carrot etc in it so he has to forage and work for his treat.. During floor time my boyfriend had the amazingly funny idea of buyin one of those wind up hamsters in a ball (kids toy) and ditto loves following the hamster as it glides around the floor, hes even tried to mount 'hammy' a few times :redx) .. He has plastic hideaway tubes and i hide treats around the room such as under my sofa there will be a piece of yummy apple and next to the tv stand there will be 1-2 yogurt drops... With him being a loner i like to keep him occupied and his mind stimulated
