Guinea Pig toy ideas

[Debster]

Hello

As the title says really - I was wondering if anyone could give me some ideas for homemade toys I can make for piggies. Are things like cardboard tubes stuffed with hay suitable for them?

i make those for my piggies but tbh, they don't really bother with them - too much effort to get the treats out i suppose. i'll be watching this thread for ideas too as i feel my piggies don't have enough stimulation at all whilst indoors

Rose & Martha love their tunnels. They like sticks to chew, and food sticks that hang from the side of the hutch to chew on.....but toys are completely ignored. So far as the girls are concerned all that counts is food, water and sleep

Would work on the idea of tubes and hidey holes for piggies. Not really found any piggies who like toys. Being inventive with hiding food gives some fun for piggies.

This is what I was thinking and you've all just confirmed it!

I'm making some toys and treats for my friends rescue buns but she has more guineapigs so I need to do something for them too. Will work on the idea of food treats then. I know they all have hidey holes

Mine like cardboard rolls with hay sticking out. They eat the hay right up to the tube. They like to chew fruit sticks and willow sticks too.
