I've posted about this before as I've always had trouble keeping Angus contained as he just jumps over any parrier I put up to keep him out of dangerous areas but now Suilven & Arran are doing it!

It's a nightmare. I use 10" grids to pen off the TV and other danger points so they can have floor time but now they just clamber on over... The only one that doesn't is Hamish as he's just not sure about fences (the wires are a bit thin for him to see) so he just tries to biff them out the way to join the others.

How do you keep jumping piggies safe? They have no fear!
 
Tricky! ?/
Pad the grids with cushions?! I've lost some grids so mine are getting minimal floor time at the mo expecially at clean out time, i can't leave them at the mo so I put them on the sofa and the little have worked out how to get down! so i started lying cushions down around the sofa incase they fall lol rolleyes

:)) Angus has taught them well! Maybe you should turn one room into a GP room :)

:)) I have images of them abseiling off the settee, with little ropes and harness!

hmmm, you could try connecting the cubes (or whatever you use) to make them higher ? or putting something on top so they can't completely jump over?
 
Haha that's the thing I've never seen them do it! I walk in from the kitchen and there they are looking all innocent like 'wow how'd we get here?!' :^-

Teleportation? They are more technologically advanced then we know...
 
Nah its not teleportation, they are just members of G-Force. Ours have a habit of finding things to climb up. We had to block the TV unit as they have a habit of climbing onto the shelf and running backwards and forwards.
