I was having issues of hay all over the place and it was driving my OCD nuts. My issue is that I have pigs that love to burrow. They want enough hay on the ground to burrow into it. And then it gets all over the place. I needed to find a way to let them burrow, without making a mess.
Then I was cleaning out my pantry and found a box .. and I thought ... hmmmm. It wasn't wax covered so I thought "Why not?" Well, can I just say that the hay stayed put. I mean there was a little out in the kitchen, but since I added the box in between clean outs, I couldn't be sure.
Then this morning, full cage / fleece clean out day, my daughter wanted to hold a pig in her Build-a-bear box and my eyes lit up like Christmas morning. I cut it so that the existing holes on each side were low enough for our young pigs to get into it and I crossed out "Bear" to write "Pig" (so now the box says "Build - a - Pig") and oh my gosh it is glorious. The ONLY hay currently outside the boxes is the hay that *I* dropped when I was getting stuff situated. They are happy as can be and were wheeking for like a half hour straight happily burrowing into the box and just having a grand ole time.
Here's pictures of proof, by the by, the cage was CLEANED at 9 am. I swear, I haven't done anything else since then. On the back side of the box (where Callie is hanging out in the middle pic) and behind the box in the loft seems to be where the poo has gathered since then.
