Are these accessories safe?

[Pretty Piggies]

The first thing I would make myself, if it was safe:All Living Things® Ferret Hammock - Small Pet - PetSmart


And are these safe?
Ecotrition Snak Shak Hide-Away - Cage Accessories - Small Pet - PetSmart


Kaytee Healthy Bits for Rabbits and Guinea Pigs - Treats - Small Pet - PetSmart

I would really stay away from the commercially produced snacks and chew accessories. If you can just find 2 different types of hay (timothy and orchard grass, for example) and provide plenty of it, your pigs will be much happier and much healthier munching on that all of the time instead of what are essentially processed cereal products.

The hammock is fine, however

Save your money and spare your pigs the treats from the pet stores. They love fresh herbs (dill, basil, oregano, mint, etc), corn husks and silks, and occasional fruit treats. They're cheaper for you, and better for the pigs.

Those things are in the stores for them to make a profit on, not because they're good for your animals.

Thanks. What about the house?

[lissie]

The hut is not good for them. The top part is made of straw that could poke their eyes. The bottom part is made of junk snack.

are any of those edible tunnels good for them cuz that is what i have in cage I have provided hay and two edible tunnels. Before I had a plastic tunnel that she would also try to chew/bite so i replaced it with the edible tunnels.

Are you talkng about the edible tunnels kind of like the Shack she listed above? Or just a normal Cardboard Edible tunnel? The Cardboard ones are just fine but the Edible ones from what I understand are Junk, a lot of sugar our piggies don't need. Making cardboard tunnels, hideys out of shoe boxes etc,.. is just as effective and our pets are just as happy and healthier for doing this then buying these edible tunnels, Might not be as appealing to our eyes looking into their cages, but it is healthier for them.
And I want a hammock as well Evie is a little acrobat I think, She is always running, jumping going nuts in her cage and climbing on everything. I think she would like it.

The edible tunnels you find in pet stores have a lot of junk in them, and way more sugar than most pigs need. Ecotrition stuff is made with honey, for instance.

If you want an edible tunnel, try an oatmeal box or a Chube.

so should i throw it out and replace it with a wooden/cardboard hidey or
could i use it just for play time?

[bpatters]

You can use it for play time.
