Hi, I was just wondering if anyone had any ideas how I could bond more with my piggies. They live outside all year round with a heater in the winter, and get cuddles and fresh food everyday so I do see them everyday. However, I feel like I'm not bonding with them as much as I used to when they lived inside as babies. They are quite confident around me and cheeky, but I wish I could be more involved with them if you get what I mean? A lot of times, because of the rain, I can't sit with them/put them in their runs and sit outside with them/ in their runs with them to bond. Sometimes if there has been a particularly bad weather/in the winter they do come inside in a run to play and get exercise. Is there any thing I could do with my piggies so I could bond with them more?
(I would have them inside again permanently but there is simply no space for them all.)
 
It’s always going to be difficult with outdoor piggies, all you can really do is spend as much time out there as possible when it’s dry, even if it is cold. Don’t be hard in yourself though, ensure the time you do spend with them is quality time, handfeeding, cuddling etc.

My piggies live in a shed so it’s easier as i can sit in their shed with them regardless of the weather.
My rabbits have always been outside though so i know it is harder to get time with them in winter when they are completely outside. I
