So the Peruvians are sitting in theirs. Why do pigs do that? I take it putting their P&W in the trays encourages them to do their fresh P&W in the trays somehow?

this is really useful tanya! we're still trying to litter train the brood of girls - Angel (sheltie) and her brood of 4 sheltie x aby pups. Angels got it sorted but the bubs are still 50/50 between the tray and the rest of the cage!

Angels got it sorted but the bubs are still 50/50 between the tray and the rest of the cage! 50/50's not bad for first time litter tray users. Keep us posted El, we'd love to know how they get on.

Peruvian V Sheltie Litter Tray Herd Diary Day Four Well all is go here as the Peruvians seem to have taken the leed and today and i have not had to clean up after them as much as the Shelties. Both Peruvian and Sheltie seem to know that they should go in the trays to do P&W as all trays are now being uesd. Both cage's have a sow in that knows what to do and seems to be letting the rest know. That older piggies are doing the best. Next update 18/07/08 Tanya

Quite apart from all the hard work this is real research and enhances the overall value of the forum IMHO So well done Tanya

That's interesting, the Perus are in the lead. You don't suppose that it's a breed thing, do you? Or is it just that the piggies in the Peruvian group are fast learners? I guess an older sow would take the initiative, maybe I should try it in the herd with Ivy as she's getting on a bit now and might encourage the others to use one. I'm going to the garden centre again soon... I'll pick one up then or get one off Ebay.

Sorry about that - they're feeling frisky this morning! Fred & George are also using their litter tray - although still other places as well. Both of them went straight to their tray this morning for a pee, but poos seem to happen as and when.
