I was thinking for my piggy's little play houses...Could I use a tissue box? Or would it be toxic?

Just make sure that you take off any plastic lining and that they won't be able to get stuck, and I think it should be alright.

wouldn't the coloring (dye) on the box be a problem?

It could be, depending on what dyes are used. I suggest you email the tissue company you buy from and ask if they use soy-based inks or not. (Soy-based inks are safe to ingest for cavies). Thanks for bringing this up!

A tissue box might be too small. IT is for my fat pigs!

I use tissue boxes and the pigs have chewed on them with no ill effects. Just like Mn said, make sure there is no plastic anywhere on it.
