Very cute pictures x)

I'm a big fan of trying out new boredom breakers so here are a few ideas.

A toilet roll tube with hay stuffed inside is great, another idea is to use some string to put two or three rolls on and hang in the cage, to make the piggies work a little harder to reach and give them something to chew on.
Another idea for the hay stuffing, is to buy a hamster nesting ball the grass style ones, where it's just made out of willow and grass, usually has more than one hole, and you can stuff that with hay and they can nibble and roll around the ball plus eat there hay.

Something as simple as a vegetable kebab can really get the piggies thinking especially if you can hang it up. It just trying to do things a little different, and changing things up from time to time.

Piggy car washes are one of my boy's, Bentley's, favourite things, it's just a simple bit of fabric usually fleece or felt cut to a certain sized curtain and then shredding it to make a nice brush style. Be careful your piggies don't start chewing it though, some pigs do and it can be harmful.

Putting nice cosy beds in and trying different piggy size pillows are always a winner in winter, no matter what piggies always love sleeping and finding new and more cosy places to sleep will always be something your pigs want to do, so maybe have a look in a charity shop for some small pillows or make your own. Another idea for a great piggy bedroom is a brown paper bag, it makes a great chew toy and a safe place to snooze, throw in a small towel and maybe some hay and I'm sure your piggies will enjoy.
You can also make little huts from cardboard boxes etc.

I hope this gives you some ideas. !
