I was thinking at first to use hay in my corner Pigloo, but I don't particularly want them to use it as a bed or as a giant ''walk-in'' feed bowl.
So, what litter do you recommend using in my corner loo?
*I don't want the litter to stick to the fleece

Hay may actually encourage them to use the litter tray as pigs like to eat, poo and pee in the same place.
I use a recycled cardboard bedding all over which is quite absorbent but if.you are only using it in a small area a bale would last forever, so that probably isn't best.
Haven't really any experience of other beddings except shavings so can't recommend anything.

Maybe I will use Hay after all! But the thing is it's not very convenient to change it each day because they've eaten it! :3
 
I use a bedding called Dengie Medi-bed, with a pile of hay on top to encourage them to use it as their tray, it comes off fleece with vigorous shaking, and so far hasn't bunged up the washing machine. It's only available in 20kg bags though, so it lasts me forever.
 
When I potty trained my piggies, and they peed and/or pooped somewhere in the cage, I would usually pick up the wet sawdust or bedding and place it in the area where I wanted them to pee or poo. When they see that their feces are theye, they will start to gain the opinion that they should pee or poo there. This worked for me, I just scooped up all poo and put it in the litter box, after a while, you can do it less and clean it more often and they'll start doing it naturally.
