Toys for a pig who has everything...

It's Hoovers belated birthday on Thursday (had to reschedule due to exams and money) and tomorrow I'm going to buy him some pressies, just stuck as to what to get him .
He is like the typical old man - hard to buy for
He has
*Plastic hidey
*Wooden hidey
*Teddies
*Shag pile/velvet rug
*Hayracks
*Tunnels
*Litter box
*Bird toys
*Mirror
*Willow sticks, balls etc
*Hay ball
*Hay tube
*Spare fleece for cuddling
*Cushions
*Cat House/Cozy type
*Long tunnel
*Herbal treats
*Cat/bell balls

Any ideas?!

Re: Toys for a pig who has everything...

I picked up some fiddlesticks today (wooden logs, threaded on wire that can be molded to make tunnels, ramps, hidy houses etc), they seem to be a hit. Tropical Fiddlesticks Large - Pet Supplies - BizRate - Compare prices & buy - Discount - Price I got the large one.

Re: Toys for a pig who has everything...

Most pigs don't care that much for toys. Maybe a special treat like a kind of hay he's never had before or his favorite veggie.

Re: Toys for a pig who has everything...

My pigs love cheap, disposable toys. For their birthdays, I like to get them a present like a cozy pouch or cuddle cup, then use a paper bag as the gift bag, and stuff some unbleached packing paper into the bag on top. They have a blast "unwrapping" their presents!

Re: Toys for a pig who has everything...

A friend? (If he lives alone)

or just extra veggies and going outside in a run for a "picnic"

or cozies / those cuddle sacks:

The Cozy Cavy - Home or
Welcome to Guinea Pig Stuff!

I know that those sites sell cozies and cuddle sacks

? Hope I could help somewhat

Re: Toys for a pig who has everything...

I suggest just giving him a fun new activity to do. Like try stuffing a paper bag, or toilet paper tube with hay. My pig always has a blast with it. Although I don't tend to do it so often since he likes to eat the cardboard.

He's already spoiled! You take such good care of your pigs.

let him explore a new room, perhaps?

Re: Toys for a pig who has everything...

Mine love paper bags. They get really excited when they get one. They play with it for a while then eat it.

Re: Toys for a pig who has everything...

An outside grass pen for days when its nice out, towel tents (sorry have no pics but there are some in the galleries I'm sure), maybe a hay bucket (http://i179.photobucket.com/albums/w...2/SD530560.jpg), or a cube thing, with either a blanket or hay in the bottom (can't find a pic. of just the cube, but here's one, its the blue cube looking thinghttp://i179.photobucket.com/albums/w294/jenni_feathers_122/SD530594.jpg what it looks like in stores http://i179.photobucket.com/albums/w...Pigs/024-2.jpg) oh, or if you have an old sleeping bag, don't know if all pigs would but my boys have an old Barbie kids sized sleeping bag that they love, I zip it and then fold it over once and they love to sleep on it, under it, & in it. (This is the only pic. I have of it, in this pic its not folded life normal, its sorta in a blob http://i179.photobucket.com/albums/w...s/SANY0037.jpg)
You said you have a hay tube, but how about a hay box (http://i179.photobucket.com/albums/w294/jenni_feathers_122/The%20Guinea%20Pigs/022-2.jpg)

Understandable...but hey he's probably quite satisfied having contact with his beautiful neighbors
