Timothy hay will do all the wearing down of the teeth. Jus keep piling that in .

As mentioned above Timothy hay is the most important thing you can give a piggy for their teeth and their health in general, however, if you wanted to give them boredom breakers there's plenty of things you can use...
Mine love seagrass balls, and Willow sticks/tunnels are a favourite of theirs too... if you want a cheaper alternative, brown paper bags with the handles cut off and stuff with hay on their sides are a great idea... or toilet roll tubes with a slit down one side so they can't get stuck in them... a scrunched up ball of white paper, they can throw it about and nibble on it, there's plenty of things that are cheap and piggies love

I agree with the above. It's all about hay, hay and more hay. I've given mine wooden chew toys before but they just get ignored. Mine much prefer paper bags and tissue tubes stuffed with hay. They also enjoy things they can hide in
I agree with ClaireW. My two boys get given willow or wooden chew toy occassionally. For the first day or two they are interested and then they get pushed aside and ignored. They don’t even chew their hutch anymore - not that that is a bad thing! Carrot cottages and massive piles of hay are really the only things which keep their interest and of course both are great for chewing!
