The Great Escape?

[FernEden]

Hello, apologies if this is in the wrong section!

I've just found my piggies trying to burrow out of their run! They're in an indoor cage with a permanent run attached and they've been digging at the fleece to try and expose a gap that (unbeknownst to me) exists on one corner of the run where the wire meets the cage. I've stuffed it with a towel at the moment to stop them getting out but because they're still so tiny, I'm pretty sure they could wiggle through if they wanted to! I'm terrified of them escaping overnight so maybe I'll just close their cage off to put my mind at ease. I don't want them to get out and then me not be able to get them back in, I've only had them about 3 weeks and we aren't on handling terms yet haha

I was wondering if anyone else has any stories of piggies trying to make a daring escape or being successful in their plan!

When I first got my girls Baby the littlest feisty one would headbutt stuff all the time,
I had set up a pretty bad run perimeter using cardboard boxes in my room because I thought it would be fine,

I put Baby and Taini in it and about half an hour later I saw Baby run up to the side and Headbutt her way through the cardboard box wall,
I spent a good 15 minutes trying to get her out from under my bed and it wasn't fun

Another time i put them in one of those flimsy metal runs in the garden and she headbutted her way out of that one too!

When she was younger she used to bite a lot! When we were holding her, clipping her nails, any time we held her really.
Now she's the most laid back lovely girl to hold
Unless she's in a run! Then you need to watch her!
She's fine in her C C cage but she does headbutt her way out of hide huts
Through the side not the entrance

I would've panicked so much if she got out! Luckily mine are in the spare room so I've stuffed towel into the hole and I've barricaded the door so if they do get out, they can't escape when I open the door for their breakfast haha. Glad mine aren't the only Adventure Pigs! They wouldn't venture out onto the grass outside but give them a tiny gap and they'll do their best to squeeze through! Haha

I still can't put Eva and her 2 babies in the C&C yet as the little monsters are still trying to squeeze through the squares in the grids. I don't think their bodies will fit but Eden kept getting her head wedged so, for now they are back in the commercial cage. They are trying to escape because they want to go visit Edna and Eileen on the other side

If I were you, I'd shut the cage up at night, just in case. You know how active and persistent they can be when it's dark and quiet!

The towel seems to have worked, they haven't managed to moved anything... Yet!

That's good then. Christian is the cheeky one out of my gang. When it's veg time in the evening he tries to escape out of the bottom of the hutch when I have the door open to get to the veg first!
