Not pooping in run?

[hayleyface]

Could it be possible? Could my girls be.. POTTY TRAINED?! I extended their 2x3 C&C about two months ago to a 2x4 with 1x2 loft/kitchen and I have found that when it comes to cleaning them out the downstairs section is almost completely dry. Even in the darkened corner and behind the ramp, it's just about damp. The upstairs on the other hand.. rank. But they need to toilet somewhere, right?

Whenever I've had them out in the past they have pooped and peed and just gone nuts (they have a waterproof mat for their indoors) but these last few times I haven't found a single poop. Should I be pleased or concerned? I have them out for lengthy amounts of time and we all know piggies need to go quite often. Also, they're more than happy to poo on my lap x3

What do you guys think?

It depends on when in the feeding cycle you let them have their run. Piggies don't poop the same all the time. They are generally more careful wheye they pee than where they poop, and often do both during rest periods.

They usually get popped in their run an hour or so after dinner but I put them in this morning with their breakfast and veggies. I thought pigs just peed constantly pretty much lol, especially when eating?

Basically no; piggies also prefer to use specific toilet corners (except for when they are asleep). If you have never tested a piggy for blood in the urine and waited for over an hour for any pees, you'd no reason to suspect... rolleyes
