First a little background on the situation.
I used to have my two girls food dish in their litter pan...but I noticed that as they started to grow bigger it was taking up more room than I wanted (they ended up sticking their butts in it while they were eating hay). I have them in a 2 x 4 and use a small cat litter pan in their kitchen area. works great as they do 99% of their business there...but I really don't want to make the litter area any bigger because I don't want it to take up any more space.
Recently I moved the food dish out of the litter pan and it's just in the middle of the cage on the fleece. Now at least twice a day "someone" keeps dumping the whole dish out. I put the food back in....come back awhile later aand it's all over the place again. They seem to like to eat it that way (off the fleece) but it's so messy! There's Oxbow everywhere!
I have used both a ceramic dish and a plastic one, same result.
I don't really like the ones that screw onto the side of the cage....I find they sit to high for pigs to reach comfortably and I don't think they would work with my coroplast.
Any ideas? what do you use for a food dish?
