honast replies people lol is it possibl to train your piggies to go toilet in a litter tray, i have been looking into gettin a tray with some litter in in the attempt them may do there business in one area, is this even possible? is it worth it? I'm just not so convinced, the idea of them neatly going toilet in a little tray in one corner is great n id love it but mine just litraly poo all over the place lol they are 7 weeks, is there hope for them lol please advise b4 i waste my money on a litter tray for them lol
 
good luck, it has never worked for my, but my mums pig does it, he runs round the living room all night and goes back to the fireplace where the litter tray is every time he needs a pee, pretty amazing really x)
 
lololol thats what I'm expecting if i try it, i may just put littrtrays in evrey corner except 1.. then they will go thre lol
 
Ive never had any luck with my 6, however every piggie is different. So maybe its worth a try! :)
 
My boys are trained to pee on newspaper. It generally works well. Except for the area around the food bowl and where their pigloos are, there's rarely ever any pee stains on the towels beneath the fleece.
They mostly pee in their hayloft these days.

I had to sit with my boys for long periods of time every night to get it this way, though. I don't even know how I did it. I just gave them a piece of parsley every time they went for a pee in their litter tray.
I am sad to say that pooping is constant and everywhere and I don't think that can be changed :))

But yes, it's possible! But you can only train them to mostly pee in their tray...They only have little bladders, they do have tiny accidents here and there ")
 
When I converted to fleece I put a drawer from those small paper filing drawers in with some hay and newspaper in it. I never really trained them to use it, but they do most of their business in there... I'd say give it a try, but don't bother buying litter - whether you spend that money on litter or you use hay or shavings it doesn't matter. Also, if you want to buy a litter tray, first try using something like it to see if they will actually use it. :) It has made cleaning up a LOT easier for me:)
 
its always worth a try....for some reason all pigs i have seem to feel the need to pee on me!
 
Id just watch out for where they are doing it and then put the litter tray there...
