I tried toys, such as balls with bells, but those didn't work. No interest at all. Then I tried different types of things they could play through or hide in, and bingo! So I started making different versions of those, some more open, some more closed, some just tubes, some mazes. The pigs love all of them. The more different things they have to do, the more they like it. Right now in Morty and Mias condo I have two houses made of grids, with fleece over for a cover. Each has a chew tube filling in the last of the space, so the pigs can go through each house, then through each tube, through one house, through a tube, through a house or tube, and back around. Lots of choices for the same set of two houses and two tubes. Momo has a row of T tubes, so she can go through as many or as few as she chooses at any time. She also has hidies over the exit parts of each T, so she has a whole different set of choices to do or add to the tube choices. She has a chew log she can chew of play through, and a grid Teepee she can sleep in if she wants. Kitchens are separate. They are never bored

All of the toys I have for Henry are bird toys. I can take a few pictures of them for you and post them in the morning. He doesn't play with them often, but he does play with them.
I do feel better about his weight loss and I will monitor it closely. He has been thru a roller coaster these last few months.
I ordered him a Strawberry Pet Bed today. I can't wait until it gets here! I will post a link in the morning when I get on the laptop.

3piggles, after your last post I started adding and rearranging hidies (not pigloos) and tunnels through out the day. Both boys really liked what I've been doing and I've been seeing a lot more popcorning than I've seen of late. Thanks.
Faafaa, I've looked at the bird toys and thought that some of them might make great toys. I'm interested to see which ones Henry plays with. I bought some plastic cat toys which have a bell in them. The ball ones tend to get ignored more. They do walk over them which makes a noise. I'm not sure if their walking over them is intentional or because they are too lazy to walk around them. Weasley likes playing with the drum one. I think it is because he can get it into his mouth and shake it and toss it. I have never heard of a Strawberry Pet Bed before. What made you think of that? I'm interested to see what your experience with it will be like.

There's a woman in the UK who makes funky pet beds, cuddle cups, etc. to order. You could order a carrot, strawberry, anything. She's quite crafty. I'm sure there are people in the US who do it, too.

Love the strawberry pet bed Henry looks healthy, which also means happy, as unhappy pigs don't bother to groom as much. Excellent Love the toy collection. He will move a lot between toys, and get exercise

He really loves running around the kitchen. And any toys he doesn't like Winston the rat gets, so that makes him happy. I bought him his favorite salad mix today in the hopes we can get his weight back up. I will weight him again in a week and reassess.
