I agree with Lee. I wouldn't risk it. My pigs love chewing toilet roll tube more than any of their other toy. Especially I the tubes are filled with hay

Well done for doing your research first. Wood chews are not that important. They will keep their teeth worn down with hay of which you need to feed unlimited... May be worth having a read of some info threads here. Will check out your youtube channel. We have one too here https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCwAN8yZPiqk0l0yzZuhbAlA

There are some things you can give your pigs to chew that they will love. Personally all of mine have shunned any shop brought treats or wooden chews in favour of nature. I used to have a small apple tree and would give them very small branches from that which they loved chewing and as for treats... I've learnt nothing beats veggies and fruits lol
