My pigs had a grass hidey hut and a blue cocoon, like this:

They made such a mess of the grass hut that I decided to buy them another plastic cocoon. A red one this time, just to vary things a bit.
They refused point blank to use the red hidey. I tried everything - even putting their food in there, but they just teamed up and shoved it over to the corner. In the end I admitted defeat and bought them another blue cocoon. As soon as I put it in the cage they were running laps and wheeking happily.

Silly picky pigs!

I had pigs like that! When I had my two sows some years back I changed the litter in their litter tray and because it was the 'wrong' colour they refused to use the litter tray point blank.

I gave up and bought their old brand!

These piggies have us wrapped around their little paws!

LOL My pigs have the Med and Large versions of that in red. They also have a yellow barn thing. THey use them and like them but they move everything around in their cage ALL the time. I call it redecorating. Yesterday I even caught Buddy pushing and trying to drag his water bottle along the wall it's hanging from.

Haha, mine rearrange the furniture as well.

After cleaning their cage out I like to mix things up a bit to keep it interesting. But they just think, "No no no, this won't do at all" and headbutt it all back into the "right" position.
Elli even manages to position his cocoon so that the door is right up against the hay rack. That way he can slob and eat at the same time.

Oh my that sounds just like my Pepe, drives me crazy, as I have his litter pan under the water bottle, well he doesn't like it there, he doesn't want anything up against the grid walls of his cage, NOTHING! And he only started doing this recently, funny little piggies.
