Any good ideas for homemade or bought toys for the piggies to keep them occupied when too cold to go into runs?
 
Thats a good post.I can't think of what to get my piggies.They live out doors,not sure what size the hutch is.They always seem so bored.I could use some toy advice too!

I did buy they some fruit chews but they went all manky after a while(because they went to the loo on them!)and i have got a bouncing back guinea pig what you put treats in,but they just knock it over once then leave it.
 
I got mine the ball with the cat ball inside it with a bell Brandy likes to pick it up and throw it kinda thing and Sooty prefer a plastic carrot with green rope stuff at the ends for them to chew and Misty just likes going through tunnels :)
 
Mine have willow balls & sticks which some chew, others don't. They all have tunnels, made from the inners of carpet rolls & again some love them, others don't ::)

Thanx for the ideas, think I will buy couple of balls and some more tunnels.
 
Mine like things they can run through and things they can around. I have an assortment of tunnels, nesting balls, ramps etc and they love to run laps and 'figure of 8s' around, through and under everything whilst popcorning. I also have a cat litter tray which I fill with 3 or 4 different types of hay everyday. They go mad for this and bury themselves in it and sit and munch on it.

I have tried treat balls and willow balls - they have always ignored things like this.
 
Try stuffing a loo roll with hay, they love that. I have a tennis ball sized, plastic ball with a bell in and he pushes that around his run. He also has one of those chubes, but if you've a carpet shop near you they may let you have the cardboard inner to cut up and use as a tunnel. I also chuck in a piece A4 paper scrunched up into a ball every so often and he carries it round like a cat would! He likes his log wood tunnel as well. got that from pah. Best thing they can have is room to run around an popcorn! ;D

Tunnels are great to keep them occupied.
For time spent in the run, you can make big labyrinths out of them:

And just bits of them in a cage, just to give them some extra space to hide in and race through:

Mine love them. Its especially fun to watch when two try to get into the same drainpipe from different directions - and then one of them has to come out backwards ^^
 
Paper is good.
The thin stuff that comes around wine bottles was always popular due to the sound it made when walked on ar burrowed under.
