We adopted 2 brothers earlier this year. They have been very happy in their outdoor hutch as it is in a very sheltered spot and well protected, but now it is colder I am worried they will not be warm enough and so have invested in a heat pad and a pigloo/cosie thing. (We've also insulated their hutch and moved it into an outbuilding, stuffed their bedroom with hay etc).
Only problem is my pigs keep urinating in their pigloo, it is soaked every day and the cover on the heat pad gets wet too. Trying to wash and dry the material every day is getting to be difficult...do other people have this problem? How have you solved it?
It doesn't feel OK for the boys to be in a wet bed...before this they have been nice and dry as their hay bedding is on shavings and it is checked and cleaned daily. I would appreciate your thoughts and ideas!
