Toys & d.i.y ideas(Enrichment)

Pigs need activities to keep their minds learning. Tarps, feed bags, old plastic milk jugs, pop bottles, peanut butter containers or other plastic items with or without lids can be turned into a toy for hours of fun for your piggy. Stacking sheets with treats in the layers or spreading pellets within the layers is another option for keeping piggy busy.

BE CAREFUL WITH NEWSPAPER, PLASTIC BAGS, PHONE BOOKS OR MAGAZINES all can be very dangerous and deadly if pig is a chewer. I found out the hard way when sis was small. I saw everyone was doing it so whats the harm.

It took my pig Sis less than 5 minutes to rip paper, chew and choke. I had to reach in her mouth and remove a clump of paper. PLEASE BE CAUTIOUS

If you work a full-time job and piggy is alone wandering the home be sure to have all doors closed, trash put up, any items within reach placed up out of way. Remember pigs can jump and can move chairs to get into cabinets. YES, THEY ARE TOO SMART FOR US HUMANS. lol

Toys can be made from a variety of items even be creative on making them. Hanging bottles is an activity to keep them moving.

When piggy get bored, they can rip walls, carpet, wood, furniture, shoes and more. They want to be entertained and have items to keep their mind stimulated like a child. Any veggie, squash or melons frozen with a string added and hung will keep them entertained. Hang items at nose height.
