When is it too cold for 2 tiny piglets??

Pink one jumped out of the bin and wandered the laundry room last night. Glad I closed the door or I'd have a piglet roaming the house, terrorizing the cats. haha
She was on top of the bin's lid when I opened the door. Athletic!
Stuffed more hay into the crate. But kinda impossible not to get the hay into their water..

I had a pet pot belly once. She dragged the dog's blanket off the porch (why did I ever teach her to climb steps?) and took it to her favorite flower bed. She wrapped herself up like a burrito and stayed warm. We'd come in from work and the blanket would wiggle and grunt. When we moved (to our old house that we moved from in February) she made a nest under the dryer vent. She pushed up oak leaves, I supplemented with hay. On cold nights I covered her with hay and turned the dryer on for 30 minutes. She really liked that dryer vent.....

Ha, ha! Pigs are so stinkin' smart! My former _H brought home some small feral pigs once. I intended to build them a shelter out of three hay bales in a U-shape with a plywood top. It was really cold. I took the hay bales out to their pen and went inside to warm up. When I came back out a couple hours later those pigs had dismantled the hay bales and had dug themselves a hole. They pushed all the extra dirt up in a U-shape with the extra dirt forming a higher wall-type formation to block the north wind and had lined the pit with the hay. They burrowed down into that hay just like Bay's pig and you couldn't see anything but their snout! Crazy smart...

My others eat a lot of the hay as well as mix it with dirt and sleep in it. So I'm always adding more...They hate using their huts and rather sleep out in the open under some hay. lol

I don't think I could do pigs in my house. I raised two once and the smell of pig pooh was just I know that there are very clean and will have a pooh corner in their pen and won't poop in their sleeping area and all of that, but what does a piglet do when it has to go pooh and it is in your house?

Same thing! They pick a corner. Even newborn piglets will waddle off to potty away from mom. They travel further and further the stronger they get.

Our pigs use the lower most corner of their pen. They use that corner to poop and pee. Its easy to clean with a hose. They love it! Although it is quite raunch if I go more than a few days without cleaning it.

Left them out last night.
