My piggie Pip won't get in his bed?

[Charl]

Hi there, about 2 months ago, I bought my piggie a bed from P@H :

http://www.petsathome.com/find/cate...a_pig/category-is-6A+Bedding/product-is-17442

And he doesn't go in it that often. And I really want him to use it, so when it is cold in winter, he gets extra warmth. I haven't bought this bed for nothing! And when he does get in it, which isnt that often he likes it!

Is there anyway at all that I can attract him into it? I don't want to sound forcefull at all, and I know that if he really doesnt want to go in the bed, then he doesnt have to. But I want to have a go of attracting him into it, so he can get the benefit of it in winter.

Thanks for reading.

maybe pop treats into it that way he might hop in and then be like..oooooooh x) snuggly! x)

Thanks, that made me giggle |)

Pop a towel over it as well as placing treats in it, so it is even snugglier.

Though I must admit that mine never took to it and in the end I gave it away to one of my vet's nurses who takes in guinea pigs. How big is Pip? He may not be able to stretch out in it.

I made my two girls beds and cottonbud just claims them as hers and furby lies next them and rest her head on them like a cushion. If you have a snugglesafe heating pad try popping that underneath

Put his veg in there, he'll soon start using it, that's how I got Gucci to use hers, now she's never out of it! x)

Thanks everyone! I will try everything that you have suggested! I really appreciate it!

And Pip is a very big pig. I will measure his length later

I've just been to see Pip, and I've spent a good 3/4 of an hour with him putting hay and parlsey in his bed - and he has been getting in his bed ALOT more than he has been previously! It's great!

Once again, thanks!
