The thing is, I don't think I can setup any other space. I live in a 590 sq.ft. apartment. My husband is already complaining that the pigs are taking over too much space. Right now I let them use both area as their main cage, but they prefer to stay on the bottom level.

I just clean up their poo and pee after they are back in their cage. Our carpet is pretty old and icky anyway so a bit of piggie pee isn't going to hurt it at all.
What do you use to clean up pee? My husband would be very upset if they pee everywhere. They are not potty trained. This is also a rental space, I guess the landlord will be pretty upset if I leave the stain on the carpet.
