My boys had 2 new things in their playpen today that they lobrd. One was a rosewood activity tunnel... wow, i have never seen them so excited! The second was a pillowcase... yes, a pillowcase. They loved it! kept hiding under it, laying on it... what really odd/mundane/ cheap thing does your pig love? Id love some new ideas!
 
My boys love their cardboard boxes, brown paper bag with a towel in it (this is their favourite place to sleep) and their forage box which is a litter tray with fresh grass in the bottom and treats eg a few bits of veg or a few pellets (mine have pellets once a day in the evening so it's a treat to find them durning the day) then horrid hay that they don't like to eat on the top. Also kitchen roll tubes with their nice hay stuffed inside :)
 
Definitely cardboard boxes with holes cut in them. They r easy creatures to please. Mine like hiding in them and chewing them also head butting them around the cage. They also love the cardboard "chewbs" u get from asdas for £1 at the moment. They move them around the cage with their head too.
 
The Hooman slaves, food, tunnels, pigloos, and they are forever investigating things... And we have our own tree surgeons too ;)
 
Ooo I must try this!

Thor is obsessed with one of those tubes that you can stretch out or collapse, he would spend his entire day running in one end and out the other in circles if there wasn't the important task of eating required.
 
Boxes, brown paper bags, tunnels (including me on all fours lol), big box of fresh hay, anywhere new to explore.
 
Yep Brown paper bags, tunnels and cardboard boxes! my kids make them 'assault courses' in their run where the kids basically rearrange everything, the guineas popcorn like crazy and my kids laugh hysterically! - today my kids placed a tunnel up onto a low box with another tunnel coming down which then leads under a tea towel and finally into brown paper bag ! X
 
As you guys already suggested mine LUUUURVE tunnels and cardboard boxes, i always cut several exits in the cardboard boxes and they go whizzing round the pen in out of them all.

Mine like anything the chew too, so stuff mad of sea-grass or willow!

:)
 
Other than whats already been mentioned, one of my pigs Bentley goes loopy for really long willow sticks from burns, he just throws them around and carries them about like a little dog, they're fairly inexpensive but only last a day or 2 with those teeth nibbling them!

My other pig Chester is only really interested in food...

Together i'd say their favourite thing is when i tie a piece of string from one end of the cage to the other, and then just hang a bit of fleece over it to make a tent, they spend hours running through it running around it, sleeping in it, pulling it around and just generally having a piggy-tastic time!
