what toys do you have for your piggies?mine have jingle balls, not sure they really play with them though :) they like paper bags and loo rolls filled with hay but wondered what sort of toys you buy for your pigs?
 
Squash!

Yes there are 3 pigs there. Willa is at the back, Bree in the middle and Saffron at the front!

Small teddies are enjoyed, huge teddies are simply adored.

oh wow!i was expecting little teddies thats brilliant and that last picture is my favourite:)) i want to tickle her piggie toes:)
 
Mine love cardboard boxes and paper bags, and little balls and tunnels.
 
Good Lord! :(|) Those pictures are amazing Laura :) I'd never have thought of putting large toys in for my boys... I tried Porthos with a little one once after I lost Scooter as I thought he might like to cuddle up to something but he was scared of it and ran away!

If I ever get any more piggies I'll definately try this!

My boys used to like a wood knot with a nut in the middle of it to chew on and nose around. My mums pigs have one now and the boys carry them around in their mouths if we let them (but we only let them have it during play time, and not for too long in case they popcorn into it and hurt themselves). the loo roll stuffed with hay is always a good standby. Willow likes to eat, headbutt and stand on top of her shoe box which acts as her bedroom!
 
Mine go crazy for paper bags filled with hay and will popcorn in it. Its so funny as you see the bag jumping up.
They also have a willow bridge that they like to jump and bite.

I love the piggys with the teddies, that a really good idea.
 
Mine love playing in a big pile of hay. Bo always squeaks excitedly as he burrows though it when I've topped it up. They also love tunnels and houses. I buy cardboard tubes (meant for casting concrete in) at the DIY store and saw them up. They don't seem to care about toys such as balls, stuffed toys (but I'll try a huge one!) and such (just trip over them ;)) They also like shoving pieces of vetbet around the cage. Whatever floats their boat... Mostly they love eachother. It's not until I got my pigs that I really understood how much they need guinea pig friends.
 
My two like balls and loofa toys and stuff.

Ralph really likes the balls that jingle and rattle, he nudges them around the cage, it's so cute. He gets all excited over them.

Arnold likes those carrots that you use in those toy-carrot patches. I just put the carrots in the cage, though. I don't have the patch.
He likes to pick them up and run off with them. I put them all in one corner of the cage and within an hour, they'll all be gone.
They end up in the food bowls, wedged between the litter trays, in their beds. You name it, there's one there.
He likes loofa balls, too! He tends to actually throw them...It's odd and funny...Except for when you're putting fresh nuggets in their bowls and one comes flying at you! :{
Which has happened, more than a few times.

It's just funny to see a piggy pick something up in their mouth and then launch it across the cage :(|)

Oh! Ralph likes those HUGE tunnels and Arnold likes the smaller ones.
Arnold likes to sleep in the small tunnels (I'll have to get a photo once I get another tunnel!) he looks so funny with his snozz sticking out one end and his bum out of the other.
Ralph likes to run through the huge ones, over and over and over again. Makes me dizzy just watching him x.x

My two love cardboard boxes too, as well as their 'grass house' which they will run thorough and round ad sleep in and on! They're on their third one now!

They have a little loofa toy thingy in their Christmas box, not sure how they'll take to it. Hopefully they'll like it! :))

p.s. LOVE the photos Laura - so sweet! x)
 
Mine love chewing willow balls / wreaths / baskets to pieces! they also like playing with loofa balls and knaw blocks. Their favorite has to be a paper bag filled with hay although i don't let them have them too often as george likes to eat the whole bag and amy likes to sleep in them til she gets soaked in her own wee :))
