I love the ideas in your new section, CavySpirit! We have been giving our piggies daily floor time in the family room where they have the run of the entire room. I have noticed that on their own they have seemed to pick a couple of spots as "their own." One is a dark corner under an end table where they would hang out (and poop! and pee!). So I finally folded up a towel and put it there. But I like your idea much better about the bath mat, rug and newspaper. My boys also like to chew on newspaper so that would be an added bonus for them to "hang out" there.

Another area they've staked out as their own is the kitchen flooring remnant which I placed under their cage to catch the bits of stray litter which seep out through the cracks (a rabbit hutch, not a CC cage...one day!). For some reason they seem to like to pee on the kitchen flooring. So since this already set up as a place where they like to hang out (and use as a potty) it would be a natural home base area if I added a few of the extras that you mentioned. We've already got an extra Pigloo and an extra water bottle (used to belong to a hamster). I could easily set up another food dish down there (they're always hungry!).

I'm definitely going to implement the ideas for my boys during playtime. Great new section of your site!

BTW, I especially liked the pigtures!
