I just walked into the room where Pink and Pumpkin live and saw this on top of their hay tray!

The twine is about 4cm long. I can only assume that it was in the pile of meadow hay (Hay Box) that I put in the hay tray a few hours ago. I hope that the girlies had the good sense to leave it well alone!
 
I once lost a knife I'd been cutting veggies with and found it later in the piggy enclosure. 😱😵 It must have fallen into the hay bin and then gotten served to them. Thankfully nobody tried to play with it!

It was a while back, but there's still a running joke around here that if I don't serve the food fast enough, I'm going to get shanked by a knife-weilding guinea pig.
 
I found a dead mouse in a bag of hay from local garden centre. When I took it back, the woman on the till just said go and get another bag. No sorry we sold you a dead mouse! Or poor mouse.

I had almost the exact same in my last box of HayBox hay. Still doesn't come close to some of the other things people have found in bags of hay, though. Dead mice are not unheard of, and I once had a dessicated frog. Mouse in bag of Timothy Hay
 
I once found a whole wild rabbit that had obviously been caught up in the harvester and got minced up. There were pieces of it everywhere including a head. Poor thing!
