Well don't I have the smartest boar

[JimmythePig]

Was looking up enrichment ideas and tried one where I put treats -cucumber bits- in a mini muffin baking tray and covered the top with a ball. Jimmy was scared at first of this new thing in his pen, but his curiosity won and he investigated. He figured it out in minutes. Moved one ball with his nose and picked up the other one to move it out of the way. Loved watching him figure it out.

Awwww a great enrichment activity for them. Ours would still be looking now for it....

That's a good idea

He sounds pretty switched on to me

I agree. Smart piggie!

I put treats in a egg box - hours of fun (or frustration) for the piggies!

Thank you. Going to try this next. Jimmy is probably thinking geeez, she used to just hand me my veggies, now I gave to actually work for them.

I tend to leave some goodies hanging out of the sides and, depending how good they are at breaking in, you might want to make it easier for them, such as pocking holes in the egg boxes.

I hope they enjoy it!
