Just that really, mine seem to like sleeping in their pigloo which have a layer of hay then fleece but I wonder if they need something more cosy?!
 
Pigs will sleep where they sleep. Mine have a cushion and a cosy hut, more often than not they just lay on the cushion.
 
Mine just have card board boxes and wooden houses/ bridges with hay.
 
Mine sleep on dog mats from the pound shop, they're the small ones folded over to make them more padded, I am going to put some more wadding in and stitch the 2 sides together to make a well padded cushion for each of them. ;)

You try and act manly, but you're a huge softy:whistle:

Anyway, mine have several snuggies- one bed is a nightmare, it gets poo stuck, soiled easily, but they love it! They like their cuddle cube, and Duncan likes his grassy nest, I think he feels safe:luv:

Being soft doesn't enter it, being tight does. 4 good sized beds only cost £4 and the wadding was out of a sofa I scrapped ;)
 
They absolutely love them, easy to clean and they all try to get on the same one even though they have one each! :))
 
Mine either sleep in the cuddle cup, pigloo, hay/litter tray or on a cushion.
 
Such cute pics! So basically anything soft, warm & enclosed makes a bed? And they will poo & wee in it?!
 
Grace seems to sleep outside in the open whereas Bella likes to be inside the log arch.
 
Mine so far sleep in their igloos. They just go on top of the wood shavings. I put a puppy pad in the one made of seagrass as that gets messy if they pee. I've noticed they don't pee much where they sleep. I love the look of those fleece beds but wondered if they pee on them- don't want them lying in their pee!
 
This is a great question.
All 4 of mine prefer different beds.
Eddi loves cuddle cups is a specific location in the cage. If someone else is in 'his' corner he will lay in front of them until the move.
Ruby 'owns' a 4 cm foam block, covered in fleece, on a wooden platform. No one else sleeps on Ruby's platform.
Lucy loves sleeping in the fleece forest, but also uses the wooden house in the loft a lot.
Oreo is evolving. She used to sleep only in the fleece forest, but as she has grown in confidence she now likes beds on top of stuff (the fleece forest, the wooden houses, etc).
 
My girls have a large pigloo each and a fleece sack ( i think you call them something else over there) each because they started fighting over just the one between them but of course now there is one each they prefer to share and sleep together with no fighting.
 
Our girls mostly sleep in their pigloos (always separate, they never snuggle), but Dorothy will also sleep out in the open or in the hay tray.
 
Either ther big double cuddle cup under the playstick bridge or the fleece sacks with an extra puddle pad for comfort! :wub:
 
Mine sleep anywhere which has some sort of roof over it. Fleece forest, fleece house, cosy bed and litter tray under a fabric cover which is over one part of the cage.
In summer they loved sleeping on a ceramic tile which I put in to keep them cool.
I also have a bit of stone about the size of half a house brick under their water bottle. Ginny likes sleeping with the front part of her body on it! Doesn't look at all comfortable to me
 
I LOVE the sleepy piggie pics in this thread :wub::wub::wub::wub::wub:

Mine rarely seem to sleep, but when they do they're usually curled up in hay.

Except for those occasions when they lay as still as they can bang at the front of the cage on their side to test my heart... :yikes:

I just look over and my blood runs cold and I leap up from what i'm doing to check they're ok, then they stretch and get to their feet and look at me as if to say; "Aha, fooled you again - but seeing as you're here now and you're happy i'm ok, how about fetching me a nice veggie treat?"

And why do I hypnotically find myself trotting off to do just that?
 
Anselmo likes to sleep in his hay with his "curtain" draped over him. One corner of his cage has a little fleece blanket attached to it and he goes behind there. He gets snuffly breathing in the cold and draughts so he gets tucked up warm in this curtain.

Jon Snow likes to sleep in his plastic house, which has vetbed under it.

Podrick tends to sleep wherever his legs give out. On the vet bed, under the vet bed, in the hay, under the hay, in the cardboard house, out in the open. He's not a very clever lad.
