Teenage Guinea Pig
One of my girls (the one in my avatar) Dumpy, likes to play 'where's Dumpling?'
This involves burrowing, jumping and rolling around in her fleece blanket (occasionally I'm allowed to use said blanket too..) which is laid out on the sofa, finding pieces of food and being tickled through the fleece when we 'find' her.. There's usually a big piggy bum shaped lump and a searching head somewhere (and the occasional loud crunching) so its not too testing for us. Haha
Funnily she absolutely loves this.. She is rather hyperactive usuallly in the cage, so she likes an explore!
Oh to be a piggle!

Floor time, we get there cat toys out. They have a cube like this,

but that actually fits in there cage so it's sometimes in there too.
But they also have a kitten play tunnel, which is like 3 tunnels which come together, far to big for there cage,

(like this but in different colours) but they love running around in them, we put the cube at the end of one tunnel and there cat bed at the end of another, then one is left open where we sit.
I've been teaching them tricks and things atm, Chester has now learn't his name and comes to you when you call both in and out of the cage. Bentley is learning to go up on his back legs on command even when there's no food around. Marmite... well he's not so co-operative.
Marmite, is a much less lively piggy as he lives alone, he likes nothing more than getting in my mums dressing gown and just snuggling up wherever he can.

We have two of the P@H rabbit tunnels that fit together in a T-shape. MY wfe and Caramel will often play. She will tickle him until it gets too tickly, then he will run in and out of the tube away from her, and then come back and do it all again.
With their fresh food, we don't just give it to them. We hide it/put it in various different places. Their carry boxes, several tubes and tunnels are out on the floor. We place things inside tubes, on top of the cages etc. Then we let each of our boars out in turn and they will go on a treasure hunt - they love it and it's good enrichment.
Now during floor time, they will randomly check the tops of things etc. just in case there's a treat there

Other than having tunnels, tents, paperbags etc on the floor, I like to kneel outside the run and lean in with my elbows on the floor as Mo will come running over to investigate and will weave in and out and underneath me. He then gets all hyper and runs around popcorning!
