Just been looking on ebay and have found little wooden swings for guineas to swing on. Are they safe? Has anyone used them? Thanks.
 
I have not seen these so shouldent really comment,but to me they sound unsafe.
 
It's item number 120143751123 sorry I don't know how to do a proper link :)
 
I have seen them and have read they recomend you hang them low so they dont have to jump to get off if you know what I mean.

Have to say i don't think they look very safe  :(

They've super-imposed the pic of the piggy onto the swing to give the impression they are suitable. 
Thinking about it how would a piggy be able to jump up onto it as the swing would set off in motion as soon as it's touched & as we know piggies aren't the most agile of furries :)
 
I thought the pig was super-imposed :)

I'm not convinced they are that safe

How do you do the link thingy?
 
Can't think of anything more silly to put in a pig cage !
 
The log bridges I buy often come with hooks so you can turn them into a swing with some twine. I have never tried it. My two aren't keen on things hanging from the roof of the cage anyway.
 
I use these for the chins and they love them,they like to chew the wood aswell but i dont think i would use them for piggys
 
I would have thought there is a danger of the swing hitting a pig in the face.I def.would not use them for my pigs.
 
I've seen those before and they cute but I think my piggies would be terrfied if they got on that and it started swinging! They'd probably be more likely to use it as a weapon when they get in a strop with each other.
 
i dont think mine would actually use it, or know what is was..so id just got for cosy blankets if you want to put something they can play/hide in and sleep in :)
