Hi. Could anyone tell me where, online, I can get them little plastic play balls? Not sure if there's a bell inside. My piggies love the rope balls, & other chew balls, but I just want to get them something different. I don't drive, so it needs to be online. Thsnk you
 
Do you mean one for putting treats/pellets inside?
Mine is a cat treat ball (although neither my piggies or rabbits use it!).
Look on Amazon and search for cat or small animal treat ball

I would avoid any with bells inside as piggies are worried by jingling noises
 
Ancol do a plastic treat ball. It's yellow with orange carrots on. We have one but it just gets ignored haha
 
Personally I wouldn’t bother with the plastic treat ball dispenser. We tried it with Hamish this week, to add a different enrichment activity.
A total failure. He prefers a game of hunt the pellet, where we scatter feed & he gets better enrichment from smelling and hunting the pellets.

I agree with this.
I have a treat ball I’ve tried it with the piggies and the bunnies and not a single one of my six animals has shown any interest! I also just hide pellets in amongst the hay and they forage for them.
 
Mine are happiest with a big paper bag stuffed with hay.
There’s endless fun to be had creating new exits and entrances as well as eating the hay, sleeping in the hay, weeing in the hay, pooping in the hay……….

A hay cube or a carrot cottage also allow their creative / destructive abilities full rein
 
I'm shocked by everyone saying their piggies don't like treat dispensing toys we have 2 balls and 2 wobbly egg things and the boys love them. Now they're getting older it's one of the few things that gets them moving from their favourite sleep spots. Ok they'd probably prefer if I just scatter fed their morning pellets but I like to mix it up a bit and get them working a bit harder for them
 
All my piggies have loved cardboard or fleece tubes, fleece beds, paper bags stuff with hay and cardboard boxes. Timmy and Freddie are completely different they don't understand any of it. They won't go near a fleece bed, piggies are all such individual little characters!
