Ugh, I am not a clean freak but latley it seems like it.

I have the hay in my bedroom since we currently have no other place to put them.

I have hay everywhere so I vacuum 2 times a week, atleast.

I know they are animals, but the poo and throw hay everywhere. So once a day I clean their cage out.

I change their fleece 2 times a week or it will smell of pee.

Does the hay everywhere and poo everywhere bother someone else too?

And when I put the hay in I have it everywhere outside the cage too...ARGHH! And when they eat since I have one hayrack hanging..

Anyone have advice on how to keep it cleaner?

I like when their cage looks neat and clean but it's impossible after I put the hay in since it's every friggin where!

Sorry, I just had to vent.
 
This is why i have my piggies outside in their shed. When i have had them in, i have exactly the same problem; hay seems to have a mind of it's own!

I'd clean their cage & then clean half the house from where i'd walked hay everywhere & yes it drove me insane! :)) :))
 
If you have a hayrack hanging on the side of the cage, you could do away with this in favour of hay socks, or hanging hay filled loo rolls from the top of your cage.
I think we must be a very mucky family, I have to hoover at lease once a day, and my piggies are in the piggy shed, not indoors. lol x

:)) I must be worse I have to hoover atleast twice a day
 
i clean my cages as much as i can,i do daily spot cleans and full cage cleans every 2 days so maybe twice a week isnt enough?
truthfully all the hay spread everywhere and all the mess i find quite cute as its just part of "owning pigs":(|)
 
Yeah..I do a proper clean 2 times a week too..might have to step it up..but that would drive me insane haha. I am sooo lazy.

Thank God for the handheld vacuum though..I don't think I could put my girls outside..it would be way to cold and I don't think they would be as social.

I mean we have a backroom, and it gets colder in there than in a normal room, and hubby doesnt even wanna put them there..

How do you keep your piggies warm when they are outside?
