I like the look of the fiddlesticks/ bendy sticks that I see some people have for their pigs. What size is most suitable for pigs- the medium or large?
 
Large ones :) Mine love them as hidey huts...however I wouldnt use them for steps because pigs have been known to get their feet/legs caught..and hasnt ended too well as you can imagine.
 
If they are held together with metal wire running through them, it's probably worth also mentioning that you should regularly check that there are no sharp bits of wire sticking out anywhere. I've heard of awful injuries to guinea pigs, as a result, but they should be ok to use as long you check often.

Not sure if all brands of fiddlesticks have wire in them but mine always have.
 
thanks will get some I think I saw those coloured ones at the range today and they were 7.99 so this is a bargain!
 
Please check the smoothness of the sticks themselves. We know of rabbits and guinea pigs that have been blinded and one who died from being speared by a rough bit of stick on the underneath when made into a tunnel.
