Paper lunch bags These are the biggest favorite here! Pop a brown bag into each of your cavy's cages and may the rustling and chewing begin! The piggies love to chew up and hide in these bags, and when they are demolished - just pop a new on in! |
Hammocks While some pigs don't figure these out, many do, and they love to 'chill out' on them. Nothin cuter than little upturned piggy feet sticking over the edge of the hammock! |

PVC Pipe These are much-loved by my pigs as well. Make sure the pipes are big enough for your pigs to go through - not suggested for chubby or pregnant cavies. The only downside I have noticed to these is that the pigs tend to go to the bathroom in them and then they get discolored belly hair.

Cat Toys The balls that have bells in them are great toys, too. Make sure that they are well-constructed and won't fall apart. You can leave them on the floor, or tie them up so they hang from the ceiling. Our boars seemed to play with these more than our sows. Warning - you may have to take them out after a while because of the incessant bell-ringing :P

Igloos Our pigs like these, too. Some pigs are too large to fit through the entryway, though.
|
Boxes Any boxes are fine, you can cut entry/exit ways into the cardboard (piggies seem to prefer more than one entrance). Make sure to remove any staples or tape.

Log Hideys/Tunnels This toy was good, but it was a bit low for some of the adult pigs.
|
Cuddle Cups These are awesome for use during the cold season. Fleece inside, cotton outside, and pig in the middle :) The pigs love these and squabble about who gets to use it first. Anything nice and cozy will do.

If you don't have a C&C cage it's a good idea to set up an area where your pigs can have 'floor time'. This can be as simple or elaborate as you like, though the pigs should have enough room to run around at full stretch. Try to keep toys away from the edges so the pigs have a perimeter they can do 'laps' around.
