what about plastic spoons? Someone said they like those but imnot sure...

What else can i use that is just laying around the house without having to spend money?
 
Not plastic spoons, I think they would be dangerous. Toilet roll tubes filled with hay and/or veggies are good. Fruit tree sticks can be good for chewing but make sure you check which trees are not toxic. I have little hooks screwed into the ceiling of my hutch and I hang carrotts and cauliflower leaves from them to make the girls reach and work for their food.
 
Yes, mine LOVE toilet paper rolls! Just please be sure to cut it so they will not get stuck... Also, my piggies love it when I wad plain white paper in a ball. They love to chew it. :)) Or shoe boxes/any other cardboard box... Just cut some holes in it so they can go in and out!

my piglets love toilet roll tubes even if theyre not filled with hay lol they chuck them around their cages and destroy them in half hour lol
 
Definitely a tissue box, my little ones love it. Just fill it a bit with hay :)

will try the ball of paper, can you use newspaper?

Yes, it doesn't hurt them! They love chewing on paper. Just make sure that it has no ink on it (:

I've heard that you can use some types of newspaper. I don't let mine have newspaper, though... just in case. :)

I've seen them with the cardboard part of the paper towel roll or the toilet paper rolls when I bought them at the store.
