I feel like I've came here before about this, but I would really like to expand my piggies "toys". Currently, I give my piggies the medium willow ball from pets at home (along side their daily clump of hay), which they love and destroy within a week or two! I'm kind of looking for a replacement shop, I personally can't buy these ball too often with how much they cost plus delivery, especially with two separate pairs needing one and I'd really love to give something new other than balls. Would anyone know of some cheaper brands or even like an Etsy shop for wooden chews (or chews in general)? Greatly appreciate any help! :D
 
Do they have cardboard boxes with holes cut out? How about toilet rolls stuffed with hay cut along the side so they don't get stuck? Paper bags stuffed with hay?
 
Piggies love tunnels, the bigger and longer the better, but be careful if they chew them, especially if they are made of plastic. Burrowing in deep hay is another favourite activity ❤🐾
 
Mine simply enjoy a huge pile of hay or a big paper bag stuffed with hay.
The only things I buy are carrot cottages and hay cubes

We do use some toilet roll for them! We have a whole bag saved from my family. Though, not sure on boxes as the only ones we rarely get is Amazon boxes which I'm not sure if its okay for them.
Overall, I'm more looking for hard things for their teeth, of course along side their hay! :D

Guinea pigs aren't like rabbits needing chews. They wear down their teeth from the silica in hay.

I've had my boys two years and never gave them chews and they have never needed a dental.
