Serge, please, stop peeing in your food!

You're costing us a fortune!

I have to change the pellet food like 3 times a day, so consequently it's impossible to keep track of how much of it they're eating.

*Sigh* No wonder he has a dewlap ~

Try putting his food in a food hopper they sell them on ebay look under guinea pigs.

We had one of those before with Willy, but he kept plesting it and making all the food come out *sigh*
My pigs are so naughty :<>

I've had a look but can't find any. What is a food hopper?

I could try that, thanks!
Although he just pees anywhere, so I don't see why he's pick on to pee in and not the other. i hate having to wash them out, and peeling out the pee soaked mush food. *sick*

just an idea he might pee in both or perhaps move it everytime. my girls pee over each other mallethead

Haha, yeah, mucky pigs!
Figgy is quite clean (except that his long hair trails along the ground.. you ge the idea) and he always pees in the same place, but Serge could care less and pees anywhere including the food, hay, bed...
Might it be a piglet thing? He's not a baby but about 5 months old.

i think its just a piggy thing i have 2 piggies that quite happily sit in there own pee! disgusting little creatures but they're happy.

i dont think piggies are meant to be toilet trained but the do tend to go where they eat!

You're probably right, but in this case, it's curious how Figgy is so picky about where he pees! I suppose he has the sense to not want to sleep and eat in his own defecation. :<>
