Oh Im so so sorry - I forgot that there were people who enjoyed filling a trough then watching the pigs toss it about, having to retrieve it, re-fill it and watching the whole thing again etc etc.

To those of you who enjoy this sport I apologise for attempting to spoil the fun..... :bunny:

SfS, which type of wall drinking bowls? Those that auto fill (hidden rear ballcock) or those that fill when the lever is pressed? I have quite a few of the latter - just wondering if the pigs will use them?

Hi,

We use the type with the hidden (behind a steel plate) ballcock.

The ones with the lever (nudge fill) may be OK, but I think it would be a temptation to chew (for the pig).

Thanks
