Hey,
With all this rubbish weather I want to keep my piggies active and healthy.
I was wondering if anyone had good suggestions for inexpensive treats and toys?

Someone suggested pinecones (after they have been cooked) are they safe?

Ive got hides and tubes and vegetable kebab sticks...

So other ideas please!
 
Toilet/kitchen roll tubes stuffed with hay, brown paper bags and ceral boxes stuffed with hay. Cardboard boxes with holes cut out for them to run in/through.

I heard you have to bake them at a high temperature(not sure exactly what temp!)so that all the sap comes out and then you can give them to them(you might need to google it just to be on the safe side!)
 
Hello, I give mine pine cones after they have been zapped in the microwave, but watch them and do them 30 secs a time about 6 times or they could catch fire- it's to kill all the little insects (sorry bugs) as well as the sap. I leave them for a good few hours to cool down. However ... I am hijacking this thread as I have just confiscated Burt's pine cones.

I tried to reply on the sticky about toys but I don't think it let me ...

Burt has a tendency to get things stuck in his front bottom teeth (he has been checked by a vet this week and his teeth are OK), today it was a little piece of pine cone.

So I am looking for ideas of toys to chew that wear down teeth but don't tend to break apart (like bickiepegs that babies use for teething!)

Any ideas greatly appreciated. Thanks.
