Oh my god! None of mine have done anything remotely like this. I remember Bumble managed to climb her way out a cardboard box when she was little but other than that it's front paws on bars only for my guys
Most piggies won't be as athletic, but NEVER underestimate a boar when sows come into season!

Ha ha thats ace. Gregory did this on the C&C last week when he was supposed to be recouperating from his operation. Got to the top and slid back down!

These look young. Not as much weight to carry. Bernie would need a few cans of spinach to do this

Never seen such an athletic piggy before!
Minnie, one of my sows, did this once while I was poo picking and I had a such a heart attack! She's only 8 weeks and absolutely tiny, but she's constantly climbing on everything. Her favourite thing is to chill out on top of the pigloo like a meerkat, and she also likes jumping up onto their log tunnel. They've all got to be three times the size of her, but up she leaps. It's surprising how high she can jump! I'm always worried about her little legs.
I'm wanting to get them a stacked c&c cage in the future, but I'm terrified she'll climb out of it!

I think one of my girls could possibly climb out if she had the gumption! Her front paws reach the top of the c&c grid at feeding time, with her head sort of hanging out of the cage 
luckily I don’t think she’s adventurous enough to actually climb over! But I keep the pigloos far enough away from the edge

LOL! None of my pigs have been that athletically inclined (though Leela will get her all feet off the ground with her back feet on the lowest rung when she is REALLY happy about treats coming!)
