I washed out kitty litter jugs (contained unused littler obviously at one time) that seem perfect for snuggling.The jugs are thin white plastic. I cut holes for windows and the jugs are big compared to my 6 week old pigs but just like everything else they are chewing on them so im assuming some bits get ingested.
 
I dont know. My pigs chew on the pigloos...but I dont know.
 
I know a lot of people on this site use sterilite bins and pigloos, and pigs chew those up, so if it's like that material I don't see what the difference would be.
 
If they chew & swallow it then it could be harmful.
 
Boxes with holes cut in them make perfect hidey houses and cuddle spots. It is also safer for them to chew on than plastic.
