Since I'm moving soon to a shared house and I don't want to be filling the one washing machine with tons of fleece every week I've filled one side of their house with megazorb and the other half with fleece. Another change is that I have included a second hay box for them as most of their squabbles are caused by who gets to sit in the one hay box they had. The new layout has led to some very happy girls. There was even a little bit of popcorning going on.

Sherbet checking out the new hay box.


Rio thought instead of sitting in the hay bos it would be better to eat the hay poking out the wholes in the sides.

And jumped out of it to tell Rio off the second she decided to have a go in the new hay box.


Success! both pigs in both hay boxes not being grumpy at each other.


Sherbet got a little annoyed that I was there for so long and had neglected to feed them. So she came to see if my camera was edible.


I took the hint and got them some veggies.


Rio had had enough of picture time and tried to hide in their house. But i couldn't resist getting a final shot of that big wobbly chin of hers.


The second I closed their cage Rio snuck out and stole Sherbet's broccoli. Cheeky thing.

And a bonus pic I got the other day. Rio using their bed as a bed. This shouldn't be shocking but to my girls a bed is something to hide under, throw around the cage or eat. Very rarely is it actually used as a bed.

 
Soooo cute <3 my own pigs show a preference for bedding over fleece especially megazorb which used to send them bonkers on clean out day popping all over!
 
madguineapiglady, I don't know how you cope with four. I have my hands full with just two bossy pigs.

That's interesting bekki, I wonder what it is about megazorb that they like so much. Before this the only bedding I've seen them get excited over before this was hay. Rio does laps whenever i fill up their hay rack.

I used to use megazorb but switched as I got stick of the dustyness. Mine loved it and would eat it when the cage was cleaned :mal:

Maybe yours have a taste for It too :lol!:
 
I must say I didn't realise how dusty megazorb was until I got it. Hope it doesn't bother me too much, I find it hard enough coping with the hay dust.
I'm happy to say their fight for dominance seems to have calmed down a lot now. I don't know if the new cage layout helped at all but I'm just happy they're not rumbling at each other every five minutes. :)
 
Little Stunners :drool:

love the one of Rio in the bed!
