Absolutely no idea really what toys to get my boys.

I was in P@H today and bought a multipack of willow sticks and willow balls for £4.99 and have given them one each. The sticks were packaged together, am I supposed to leave them tied together or seperate them?

Should I be filling the balls up with hay or something or are they mroe for pushing around sort of thing?

John Anderson has his big orange tube, his cuddly orange toy and a toilet roll tube filled with hay (which he seems to prefer eating his hay from than anywhere else)

Bob has a toilet roll tube filled with hay.

I've read some other posts where people mention things hanging form the roof of cages etc...what sort of thing should I get? are we talking things you would maybe have for a bird?

I saw the wee housie thing in P@H but there is no way on this earth that John Anderson would fit in there, maybe get a paw in it but that's about it :D
 
What you have sounds fine! We have the willow balls and sticks, but our piggies don't seem interested! They're just meant to be there for them to chew. We also have a Chube.

I recently bought them one of these:

i hang it from the top of the run, or the front of the cage with nice titbits of grass, hay, fresh herbs, leaves they like...it went down well with my two! Make them work for their food i say! ;D ;D
 
i got bob and munchie one of those guinea pig "ka-bobs" from pets at home the other day to make them work for their food. its basically a kebab skewer type thing that u can put their veggies on.

munchies a clever boy and got a knack for getting the food off of it easily now, but bob throws a right little strop cos he cant rip the food off the stick lol

Paper bags are great 'toys' or mine seem to think so :) Especially if there's some food left in the end ;) Stuff the balls and Chube with hay for added enjoyment :) Wooden Fiddlestix are good too. I don't have any of the 'bird toys' for mine so don't know whether they like them or not, paper bags are good though :) You can peg cabbage/greens leaves on the side of the cage as achallenge, not too high though, guineas like to feed from the ground :)
 
Thank you.:) One question...I take it is safe for them to actually eat these willow balls...John Anderson has demolished half his willow ball already and he must be eating it cause there is noting left in his cage aside from half a ball.
 
don't worry my rabbit ate a whole p@h willow ball and my piggie Dennis does to its great for there teeth. i got a pink heart mirror with a bell on it (the boutique range at p@h ) that hangs frop the cage Dennis loves admiring himself and ringing the bell!rolleyes:)):(|)
