How much out time is enough?

[mrs.torres2566]

Currently my pigs get 30-60 minutes a day. They dont have a run yet and I am afraid to let them run the house because I am terrified they will hide somewhere and I will have a problem finding them. So I just block off my hallway and let them run but I have to watch them and I cant sit here all day. I am hoping they are getting enough time. They run around like crazy at first but towards the end they go into one of the tube and sleep. Once they get tired I put them away. How long do you let your pigs run everyday? Am I giving my piggies enough out time? Thanks for any input!

Our girls get around 2-4 hours a day, depending on when we get in in an evening and what we are up to, we just pop them in the run when we come home from work and back to their cage before bed. They are out alot over weekends
Our first girls used to get 3 hours on a wednesday and 3 hours saturday and then again sunday - they never used to do much running around just chilling lazy piggies.

One hour a day is fine I would say as long as your cage is a good size 120cm long for two piggies.
Piggie's during run time will like to take snoozes and sit in their chube's or houses.... That typical piggie behaviour.

We made our run with C&C grids linked together with cable tie's, it's very easy to set up and store can't recomend it enough.

We are getting the biggest C&C cage once we move and get set up. Right now they are in a cage that is 213 CM on the bottom level and 60 CM on the second level, and we have 3 pigs in there.
