They have fleece that's comfy for their feet, their food is chopped and checked for spiky bits that might poke them, as are their little bedrooms. I've even fitted a tube on their ramp to stop them jumping off in case they hurt themselves.

After all this caution, imagine my chagrin when they were out in their run last night to see Loki run to through his wooden tunnel and repeatedly popcorn, each time banging his head on the roof of the tunnel!

Now where can I buy hard hats that'll fit piggies? ?/
 
funny you should say about hats.......

heheheeeeeee
 
oh dear well very funny but not sure he is very bright or maybe he has an itchy head
 
Brilliant, got to get some of those!

Lovelygirl - don't worry, he's really not itchy. I think he just got carried away in the moment! And possibly not exactly the sharpest knife in the drawer!
 
Sometimes, I think they LOVE bashing their heads. I've had more than one young one that loved nothing better than crashing full tilt into their friend at the end of a popcorn or banging into walls and low ceilings!

He was just playing bouncy castle piggy style!
 
Finlay always used to bash his head popcorning as a pup... then he'd lookk dazed and confused for a second or 2 and start all over again.... It was funny when he did it in the pigloo cos it would move at the same time...

Now Sir Finlay is way too cool for such childish antics... except when you're not looking...:))
 
I have a wooden hammock in the girls cage, and underneath this is their favourite popcorning spot, despite banging their heads constantly off of it. Silly piggies.
 
Basil used to heave his wooden cottage around the cage, by using his head! We often used to think he must be hurting himself, but it would seem not!
 
It always gets me when one swings round quickly, seemingly forgetting there's an enormous cage to their side, or running at speed into a pigloo. You feel so sorry for them, rubbing their little noses, even though it was their own silly fault!
 
When we go to Nottingham for the weekend, we sometimes take the pigs back with us. Because the hutch is too big to take, we have a large 1 level rat cage which we use just for weekend trips. There is a small ramp in this cage which the pigs don't use but on the way home yesterday, Eleanor decided to lay under the ramp so every time we went over a bump, the ramp wobbled on her head rolleyes
