Thumbs down PVC pipe

my pigs always love to pee in their pvc pipe, and everytime they do this, i have to scoot them out of the pipe, wash it with vinegar water solution. they do this at least 5 times every day and it is super annoying. also, the girls fight over it. i totally prefer V shaped grids and carboards for tunnels.

but i was wondering, has anyone else had this expierience with pipes?

Re: PVC pipe

I use the cardboard 'chubes' and it's not so bad with those as they're absorbant (which obviously means they don't last as long!). I just try and push a bit of bedding in it so if they do wee in it, it doesn't just completely soak their coat.

I agree hiding places without bottoms are best because of this, but mine do love their chubes!

However many of one thing I give them, they'll always argue over the 'best' one (which for the life of me I can't figure out how it's different from the others!) so I don't expect reasonable sharing behaviour from them!

Re: PVC pipe

mine really like their pipe as well, and i felt so bad, i put it back in. but i lined the bottom with strips of fleece. hopefully that should take care of at least a bit of the problem.

Re: PVC pipe

yup, my piggies do the same thing. they pee in it all the time. so now they only get it for floor time rather than leaving the pipe in their cage.
