I'm looking around on ebay for some new toys/things to hide in to put in my boys hutch for when they get home.

Really need some inspiration here! :))
 
Out of everything I've tried, a piece of plain brown/news paper folded in half to make a tent is what gives my piggies the most fun, they love running through it, flattening it, stomping all over it and hiding under it. :)
 
Mine like cardboard rolls stuffed with hay,brown paper bags to go in and out,cardboard boxes upside down with a hole cut out so they can go in and out,a soft toy to snuggle and cosy beds to lie in.
 
brown paper bags are a favourite here, and cardboard boxes, tunnels. i also have a feed ball that hangs up and i fill that with hay which they enjoy pulling out. :)) i also got some small willow balls aswell which maisie pushes around with her nose. :))x)
 
Mine like the simple things in life - newspaper screwed up with treats inside or hay filled loo rolls usually do the trick.
 
mine have got allsorts of toys, one that you hang from the top of the cage that you put veg in. a ball with a little hole in that they roll around to get treats out, a ball with a bell in it (for daytime use, we got sick of them playing at night time jingling around the cage and waking us up!) also, have a look at pimp my piggy, cavy cosies and cavy couture, i got some lovely tunnels and things from there x
 
My boyz love the large cardboard tubes you can buy for guinea pigs and also the toy balls with bells inside :)
 
As with others, brown paper bags, stuffed toilet rolls are a must. One of mine loves their tea towel I use for laptime clipped to the side of their floor run which makes a tent/tunnel.. he loves it.
 
mine love tubes and running through them! Like others have said, they also like newspapers and loo roll inners (and other stuff you can make use of at home) much more than any toys I've bought!

In fact, I now wish I hadn't bought as many toys. Before I got my girls, I was planning on using bits from around the house but thought it would be nice to buy them a few things too, but those things pretty much sit in the basket as they definitely prefer the other stuff!

They also like those wooden sticks attached together that you can bend to form a bridge. They like to chew on them and crawl under and jump over. Sorry, can't remember the name!

Not sure you can call it a toy, but they do play with it.. the one other thing they love is one of those tents you can get for guinea pigs! They love running in and out of it! Wogie loves to sleep on the soft mat inside, but Chilli like to sleep underneath it, even when Wogie is inside! (she's crazy!)
 
Mine love wooden chews, tunnels and hideys (pigloos, log tunnel etc).
 
Thank you for all your help guys, your brilliant :))

So far i've got:

Two of the bendy wooden arches made from sticks stuck together.

Two sleeping bag snuggle hideys.

A huge bendy tube (its like the bendy part of a straw :)) )

Two pigloos

A hanging ball for hay

Stuffed loo rolls

Balls with bells in them.

What do you think? :)

They sound like very lucky piggies! :(|)
 
I spent most of last night and this morning ruining a perfectly good cardboard box for my pigs...and they completely ignored it and played with the ironing board instead.

They love tunnels though and I folded a piece of cardboard over and they sat under there happily in between racing.

wowow! they will be happy! Mine do also have a hanging ball for hay and quite enjoy that, so I hope yours will too. Mine don't like any sort of bells though! I was really hoping they would cos I wanted to put these cute bells I had in their cage, but they freak out and don't like it!
 
spoilt little jinnywigs! haha! you're as bad as me, i spend half my wage on things for the pigs and the cage! x
 
I'm really please with it all, I hope it gets here before theyre ready to come home. :)

I just wish I had a bigger cage now. I have the 4 of them in a hutch with a run fitted to the bottom so its not the biggest.
