Can I put a little bit of vanilla extract on my piggies chewing blocks?

I tried before and they seemed to chew at the wood more. Will it harm them?

I would say that it's a bad idea. It has alcohol and corn syrup in it. Both are not good for piggies.

Ditto Peggysu. Don't do it, the alcohol and corn syrup alone are enough to make it unsafe.

What kind of flavoring can I put on it so they enjoy it more?

None would be my advice. They chew usually to satisfy their chewing needs. I would assume you don't need to encourage chewing other than have it available in case they feel like chewing.

No, don't put anything on it. Wood is not really the best thing for them to be chewing on anyway. Make sure they have plenty of fresh hay and that should satisfy their chewing needs/desire.

I have a little hanging thing which contains of three apple orchard sticks and two wood blocks. I also have a lot of hay in there.
