I have a feeling it's not possible but...
I had a hay bag that I hung in the cage but one of my pigs kept climbing inside it and peeing in it. I got frustrated so now they've just been getting a hay area on a good section of their cage. But since they like to sleep in it, the pee and poop in it a lot too. Any good tips or tricks for a hay area that is kept semi clean? I want to provide them with a lot of hay without them eating stuff they've soiled on already.
I'm also open to suggestions on other alternative hay feeder options. The hay bag wasn't the worst but was a ton of work. I feel like I would get the same results with putting the hay in some sort of little box as I get now. I don't totally love the idea of making a hay holder out of a grid cause I don't want them to get their head stuck. Also not a fan of the little wood ones you hang up that might be safe but you have to fill 500 times a day.
Any tips, tricks, or ideas?
Thank you!
