I have foam and stuffing.

I wouldn't put foam in them. It absorbs the urine and smells very bad very quickly. You can't get the odor out.

Well, you must never heard of vinegar then. :p
I already have made cuddle cups with foams, as well as a tunnel hiddie. Also, I don't use the foam as the base but as a 'form' to hold the cups and tunnels together then add peepads/pee liners inside which are washed 1-2 times a week. They don't smell at all after a vinegar wash, plus the vinegar smell fades away after I dry all the items.

I've heard of vinegar, and have used it. But in my experience, the foam will absorb the smell and never give it up. Maybe you're having better results because you've got the pads inside, and the urine isn't reaching the foam.

Very nice work! My suggested item is some sort of bed or lap pad that you can use to hold your pigs in your lap and still be able to pet them AND it should be WATERPROOF! I learned the hard way that the beds I got are NOT : o
