Pig Toys

Pigs are highly motivated by food and searching. This means the best toys for pet pigs are things like rolling treat balls and treat dispensers, as well as snacks hidden at the bottom of a hay box. Pet pigs may also love rooting boxes and foraging mats where you hide treats that they have to search for. Any change your pig has to look for snacks—they will take.

Best of all, almost any pig food or snack can be incorporated into a ball toy meant to house treats. You can find more options for fun and practical ways to feed a pet pig at Petco’s collection of pig feeders, waterers and feeding supplies.

Pigs can play with a variety of toys that are filled with food or encourage them to search for something. If a toy can do both: great! A sand pit, mud pit or hay box are great natural toys for a pet pig. Additionally, great enrichment toys for pigs include rooting mats with hidden treats and treasures and soccer balls—they love to search for things and push balls around with their snoot.

Pigs love searching, eating and noises. Your pet pig will never tire of rooting through a mat or box filled with anything from hay to sand. In warm temperatures, pet pigs may be very entertained by a kiddy pool filled with water and toys. They can root around for treasures and splash for fun. You can buy toys that are specifically made for larger pigs or make your own at home. Something as simple as a line of hanging treats may entertain a potbelly pig for a long time.

Some dog toys may work as toys for piglets or grown pigs. Pet pigs may specifically be attracted to dog toys if they squeak or have interesting lights. Squishy balls and pet puzzles may also double as toys for mini pigs who get engaged by more tactile activities. Because pigs are so motivated by food, they may even take to a dog toy that has a treat features—but only if you can fill it with pig appropriate treats. Shop for pig food and treats at Petco’s Farm and Feed Shop, including farm food, supplies for horses, chickens, pigs and more.
