Trying to get CoCo to like sleeping in comfort. He didn't really have anything to sleep on at his previous home other than the litter in his cage. Im giving him a variety of options to try but most of the time he just chooses his pigloo. Wha t kind of beds do your piggies like the most? Post pics of their favorites and where you got them if possible :)

I just folded a fleece blanket so it would fit under their houses. I use fleece bedding, but this is much softer than just fleece. I've also seen people use those wooden doll beds from ikea, but that is a bad idea if your pig likes to chew. The glue they use on those is not good for them.

Mine just like the fleece! I think that they're happy to sleep on that, since for most of their life was spent on shavings. :( But they love cuddle sacks and cuddle cups also! There are some great patterns for them, or you can get one cheaply off of Etsy!

Cheaply? I wouldn't buy a cuddle sack for $15.00. I made a cuddle sack for my pigs, but I didn't sew it tightly enough and now it's falling apart. But, they still like them! :)

My pigs really like there dome hidies.

I don't know how to describe it.

They have serious withdrawl from the yellow dome thing when it's laundry time.

My boys have tubes to hide in, sometimes they sleep in them sometimes just on their bedding or in their hay

4 of mine sleep in various hidies on fleece and are quite happy, since I've added a kitchen area, fluffy, who always has to be different has taken to sleeping under the hay rack, silly pig

Arthur usually sleeps in this haydome thing. Darwin will sleep just about anywhere that has a semblance of cover (i.e. under ramp) since I've switched to fleece. I hung a hand towel from an upper grid and it serves as a kind of tunnel on the ground level next to the ramp. Sometimes one sleeps under the ramp while the other in the tunnel thing. So there's literally only the towel 'curtain' between them. I reckon it's for shared body heat without having to admit they're cuddling :D

Mine seem to like dark and warm places. IE THEIR FLEECE BEDDING >:p
But big enough scraps satisfy them enough.

I caught felix under the fleece FIVE times yesterday. I was out of binder clips and he was still finding a way under. And it goes up the sides even.

I got a fleece alligator from Marshall ferret supply, for one of our very shy pigs Clyde, and he loved it so much. He was able to be out for floor/ lap time and be completely comfortable and covered, and not skittish the way he normally was. It was only about $10 when I got it, which I normally wouldn't spend I'd rather make my own, but it was too cute to pass up!! They had others too, like a fish or octopus. Adorable and machine washable and big enough for them to stretch their feet out. Other than that we have the normal cuddle cups and sacs which are always a favorite!

I saw one vendor on there a few weeks ago that was selling them for around $7. She probably went to eBay or something... eBay is great for finding fleece and stuff like that! :) I hope that the person I saw with the cheap cuddle cups gets some more inventory soon...
