So i know this is silly but my piggies play with THE toilet XD
They are trained but they just see something in it to play with it :doh:
Any ideas to keep the toilet still or make them calm down (For once , hah :raz:)
I tried to make a hole in the shavings and then cover it a bit but no. . . they slap it with their:no: heads :rant: . . .
 
Piggies will play... My blind piggies for instance love nothing better than digging up the newspaper at the bottom and pulling it to shreds!

How big is your toilet? Can mount a hay rack over it so they can eat while pooing? Piggies seem to love that.
In some cases, wood shavings can irritate the skin or lungs, so you may think about covering it with hay or switch to a alternative product.
 
My piggies weren't toilet trained, but liked to hop into it, and move the toilet somewhere else in the hutch! They loved to go behind it, which was annoying for me, as I found a lot of poo behind it! So, I just removed it, you could get some hooks and clamp it to the hutch (easier for a C&C cage)
 
Piggy play can often be destructive..... my lads love to throw their hay trays around and everything else. Try some other fun stuff to play with to distract them like paper bags (rip the handles off so no-one gets stuck in them..) and paper tubes stuffed with hay.

Make sure their litter tray is secured to the cage if possible so they can't throw it around, I had to do this with my hay trays, but they will probably still dig in them and toss the litter out, that's just what piggies do!
 
i have a cat litter tray that is in the corner. I have two red bricks I got from a D.I.Y. shop that holds it in place. I have newspaper and hay on one tray and critter litter with fleece on top (the fleece is held in place with bulldog clips as I would not trust the safety of them around critter litter) and then we put a cardboard box over this and cut out three holes (one on each side and one at the front) the box fits exactly inside the litter tray so it holds itself if you know what I mean... It is a paper ream box so a4 sized. one of my pigs head butts and pushes on the sides whenever she gets in there but it hasn't budged!
