I see SO many piggies that climb willy-nilly on top of their igloos and fiddlesticks. Neither of my piggies do that. Does anybody's piggies here do that?

I have two young boars. They're only 2-months old. That being said, they climb all over the place - on their pigloos, on top of boxes, all over my lap. They are both always active and extremely high-energy.

I've also had pigs in the past who never climbed on top of anything. I think it depends on their personality, their age, the size of their cage, and so on and so forth. Each pig's an individual and some climb - some don't.

Mine never try. They did when they were young, they would sit on top of their hideys(shoeboxes)

My pigs used to lay on top of their fiddlesticks and wooden house, but they haven't recently. This is going to sound strange, but I honestly think they would do it when they wanted to come out for floor time. When I had Dudley alone and I couldn't let him out at a time when he wanted to (he bites on the bars when he wants out), it was like he would have a "hissy fit" and end up on top of his wooden house looking very angry!

My pig climbs on top of his igloo to get the island, but he has a ramp too!! He goes down on the ramp, and on top of his igloo to get up!!

Mine don't climb on anything either. In fact, I just built a 5x2 CC with a loft and they won't go up the ramp either.

The only thing my pigs climb on is their hammock. Anything else they prefer under.

Mine would climb up into their hayloft before I changed it so they could not because I was worried their leg would get stuck and hurt. They do get up on their hind paws to get hay and when begging for food.
