Not Ranked. Helpful AND tactful post? : 0 Re: Difference between floor-time,lap time, free range | | Floor time is out of the cage time to let them explore an area larger than their cage for play and exploration. This is something that needs to be done several days a week if not everyday for at least an hour or so.
Lap time is more for us humans. Most pigs could care less about lap time. It's when you get a pig out of their cage and hold them, pet them, groom them, snuggle, etc. It can also be used for bonding.
Free range is allowing your pigs a living area without a cage. This means your pigs would be free to roam whatever part of the house you designate as theirs. Be it a living room, a bedroom, the whole house, etc. When you free range your pigs though, you must make sure they cannot get to any wires, harmful substances, or get into places where they could get stuck. You also have to designate areas for eating/drinking, sleeping and provide litter boxes for bathroom needs. |
