Making nests in the hay. Is he cold?

[Claire W]

Edward keeps making little nests in the hay and covering himself up. Do you think he's cold or is it just him making a new hide?
He doesn't feel cold when I stroke him but he's been doing this for the last few weeks. We don't always have the heating on but their room is the warmest in the house although it does get chilly in the house overnight

Don’t worry Claire my lot do that all the time. I sometimes wonder if they’ve escaped

Phew, that's a relief to hear. He does give me a fright when I can't find him

Hector and Kik are in our lounge on the floor, it’s quite warm in there and the heat doesn’t stop them at all. They now have a habit of running through an open lounge door straight to Posh and Ginger little monkeys to catch too!

We have a couple of nest makers in this house, too. I don’t think it’s temperature - just that they feel comfy in the right sort of hay - not all hay works for building nests.

Eddi was the master of hay nest building.
I swear he was part guinea pig, part harvest mouse

Meg loves building hay nests. She hides herself very well.

Micah loves hay nests.
When I think there’s a missing piggy I just wait for a hay pile to move.

Kanga yesterday evening. She only poked her nose out of the nest to let me know it was time for some piggy treats

Found a Lexi bum and a Thea bum in the run this morning!

I used to lose Comet in the hay on a daily basis none of my other pigs, including Blitzen, ever had quite the fascination for hay that Comet did.

Mine love doing this - there are in fact 2 piggies in this photo! (and just after this photo I changed their water and removed the hay don't worry!)

Got this pic earlier for you @Claire W, a bit rubbish but a nice hole right in the middle of a hay pile where my Jasper had been snoozing! He blooming loves his nests! x
