HayPigs! Piggy crash pad

Hi readers! HayPigs! very kindly sent me this piggy crash pad to review with my guinea pigs.









What is a piggy crash pad?
The piggy crash pad from HayPigs! is a soft bed made from fleece for guinea pigs, degus, rats and hedgehogs. I think it would also be good for baby or small rabbits for cuddles (my rabbits wouldn't fit on it!).

How much is it?
It is £14.99 from the HayPigs! website: https://haypigs.com/shop/haypigs-piggy-crash-mat-fleece-bed

How can you use it?
There are a couple of ways you can use this bed. The first use is as a lap protector when you hold them (any guinea pig owner will know that they like to wee on people). The second use is as a bed in their cage, this would work better in a fleece lined cage otherwise it would get covered in bedding.

What do I think?
I think that this is a great bed for guinea pigs. Personally I will be using it as a bed when I cuddle them. It is also good as Bramble and Patches both fit on it!

What do the piggies think?
"whee think that this bed is very comfy"

Would I buy another one?
I would buy another one if this one broke or if I ever keep the girls on fleece as Maisie lives separately.

I hope you enjoyed this review!

Hay Pigs! Piggy weightlifter

Hi readers! Hay Pigs! very kindly sent me a couple of products to try out with my piggies.

What is a piggy weightlifter?
With veggies on

A piggy weightlifter is a kebab maker for guinea pigs.
in the packaging




How do I use it?
You can actually use this in a variety of ways. The first way is to put their veggies on it and put it on the floor or attach it to the cage. The second way is to put a small peeled banana on it and attach it to the cage. You could also put chunks of dried fruit or veg on it. Just make sure you clean it in-between uses.

How much is it?
The piggy weightlifter is £7.99 from the Hay Pigs! website: https://haypigs.com/shop/haypigs-piggy-weightlifter-vegetable-kebab-maker

What do the guinea pigs think?
"whee think it is brilliant for our veggies. it means they don't get all dirty on the floor"

What do I think?
I think that this is a brilliant idea as my girls aren't normally very active and this means they have to move about to get their food. I use it every day they get veggies and put part of their meal on this and then the rest further away, as Bramble and Patches are very territorial when it comes to food and this means they are apart, so they can't squabble over it.
It would also be a great photo prop.

Would I buy another one?
I would buy another one of these for Maisie in the future as she lives separately and is also my most active piggie so she would benefit from moving about to get her food.

I hope you enjoyed this review! Don't forget to check out HayPigs! on Instagram and YouTube @haypigs .
