Stands The difference a table makes

I also prefer to have my pig pens raised off the floor. You're less of a looming, scary, giant thing and they really seem to respond to that.

Mine too Princess!! So my boys wouldn't escape and get to the girls, I put them up on a banquet table in the dining room which is all part of the kitchen. My girls were skiddish before being on the floor, now they are out so much, looking at me while im in the kitchen cooking hoping it is something yummy like a piece of lettuce they might get. They are way more vocal also. They will sit in their kitchen and and let me put the breakfast bowl of veggies in there between them. Before they would run into their pigloos and come out after I had left!
Its awesome!

Do you mind showing me a picture of the stand and cage? And where did you buy it? Thank you

@Princess_Piggie That is excellent to hear! Ferb and Penny have always been up on a table so they wheek and beg at me anytime I stand up from the sofa or come near the cage. Their ability to persist with the wheeking he entire time I'm in the kitchen is astounding.

@daisy1cow it felt astounding to wander over to the cage and have them just stay there and be happily petted! I may have taken a step back with my Daisy today though, I went in to hoover the cage, and she ran out of her hidey and in to the hoover nozzle. I was absolutely mortified, but thankfully she's okay and copious amounts of veggies followed!
@stray hares I know right! Even I felt big and scary when I came at them when their cage was on the floor, having them on a table has us on the same level, literally and figuratively lol
@Jennifer Potash I'll take a quick pic in a sec. The table's from Ikea (about £35-£40), the grids are from Amazon, and I can't quite remember where I got my coroplast at the minute sorry. I think it was from somewhere with Aluminum in the name though...
@Rywen My girls used to go mad wheeking when they could hear me coming up the stairs (they even knew when it wasn't my footsteps!), but thankfully now I'm in an apartment there's no stairs for them to go nuts over. I think they've gotten lazy because they only wheek when I'm in the room now lol

Do you know what the table is called?

Linnmon/Adils. They're sold as a separate top (Linnmon) and legs (Adils) so you can mix and match with what colour/wood effect etc you want.

Omg, you hoovered your piggie. I'm glad she's okay!

I mainly use a table so that my dog can't get to my pig but I have also seen a major change in behavior when I put the cage on the table.

I couldn't believe it either! It's the fact that she ran out of one hiding spot, to go past the hoover, to get to another. You'd think if she was scared, she'd just stay hidden! Lesson learned: Take pigs out before hoovering!
