plastic drainpipe
« on: March 22, 2013, 07:04:23 pm »
So after trying nearly every way possible trying to feed the pigs with out them either tipping everything over or walking in it and beating down in the ground for some reason they now won't eat it of the concrete floor I have srewed a 8 foot piece of drainpip to the wall 10 inches off the floor and for a week now they have not even broke it its long enough for all of them to eat out of without fighting and they can see underneath so they don't have to break it into pieces how long it will last is another thing but it is holding up so far fingers crossed

Pigs will be pigs, as if it ain't too heaving or screwed \nailed down they will move/destroy it.
Good Luck with your new solution. :relief:

My concern with drainpipe would be that when the break it, and they will, you could end up with sharp pieces of plastic around which could cause injuries. A piece of it stuck in a pig's foot would be nasty.
