Floor Time

lilshortie · #1 03-29-05, 07:06 pm

I'm not sure on how to give my pigs more floor time. I let them run on my bed for a little bit durring the day but not too long because I don't want them to get too close to the edge and fall off. I don't have another room to put them in because i live in the basment and my room is the only one finished. Have any ideas?

Do you have a floortime. You can get one from the hardware store, what you do is go to the the shelving section and you will see those clipins floortime. get a puppy floortime pen or ask someone at the petshop.

At WalMart they have those small animal playpens. Get two, hook them together, put down an old blanket with the playpen on top, and put interesting things inside. (Tubes, hidey houses) and let them explore for at least an hour a day. You can also make a playpen out of at least 14 extra grids, by hooking them together with cable ties.

Yeah I got one from Walmart and Im not happy with them, my piggies know how to jump out out, and my dogs know how to jump in, they are also very small, I would reccomend build your own with grids, if you have any leftovers, or just go get some.

Make a play pen with cubes + zip ties. That way you can fold it away in an 'acordian' way.

I'm assuming that you do not have any floor space that is why you keep them on your bed. I don't have any either. My piggies only get lap time. My cage is big enough so I consider that free time.

What about your backyard?

I'm going to be making a bigger cage her shortly so I hope that helps them

You could try one of those play pens for puppies. That way, your dogs can't get in and your pigs wouldn't be abl

e to get out.
