I have 2 piggy enclosures for 4 pigs, one is a wooden house like enclosure and the other is an igloo. I am considering taking up the igloo and adding instead a few smaller fabric sacks or beds because the large igloo is on the first floor and I'm thinking it gets in the way if they want to do laps.
How many enclosures do you have, is it one per pig or fewer or more?
 
I have one per pig but I have a boar pair and if they have one each it means they argue less. If you're replacing the igloo with other things they can hide in then it'll be okay but I'd definitely have more than one hidey for 4 pigs.
 
Mine have a wooden corner house and a snuggle OO. Hamish being a skinny pig uses the snuggle OO and Dougal normally sleeps at the side of it. The corner house is new so they don't use it a lot, but they do like it. I think it's good to have one each unless they like to snuggle in together, but mine don't. I've tried having a snuggle pocket for Dougal but he prefers to sit on top of it. :))
 
I think I'm going to add a few fabric enclosures but leave the igloo. The problem is that the igloo starts off by being in a corner where I put it, but they actually move it so it is in the way of any piggy wanting to run a lap. They get in it and as they move around it actually inches away from the corner. I'm thinking of taking it out, burning a hole in it with a soldering iron, and then anchoring it to the cage with a zip tie.
I did not realize that is what they were doing until a moment ago when I saw it move.
