This is not my area of expertise so I will defer to others' advice ... though I must admit the title of this thread made me expect something different.
the boar i have now was my first, i have only ever had sows before him. and i've found that he is the only one of all my pigs who poops everywhere instead of mostly just in a corner. i think some pigs just have better manners than others i would suggest that as you've only had him three weeks, give him a bit more time to settle in. i found that all my pigs were a little "scatty" at first, but once the cage began to smell of them (even after you've cleaned them out, the smell will stick after a while) they would choose a favourite spot and pretty much stick to it.i doubt that he deliberately poops in food to stop the other from eating, my boy poops in his water bowl all the time haha and he loves his girlfriend. i know that pigs are clever, but i've never seen or managed to train one to the point where they respond to voice commands. food/fridge or cupboard noises, yes, and if i make a certain noise to mine they will come over to say hi, but i think trying to force him to only use certain places might be fighting a losing battle!a little tray may work, but again i think that would just be chance. worth a try though
I've also noticed, that, the new comer (Custard) will squeal his ears off for food (his little ears flap ermehgerd), while Baloo sits in the corner all sullen. But as soon as the foods arrived he's pushing him out of the way and chowing down after poor little custard, has done all the hard work xDD
I have a little shelti girl named Jetta (yes, after the Jem charater. They share a similar hairstyle) and she has very dirty habits. I have to bath her every two weeks because she really doesn't care where she goes. Her long hair has to be trimmed very short at the back or it gets food and poop tangled in it within days. Messy messy piggy!She's very cute though visitors can't see pics , please register or loginodd little thing. Absolutely refuses to drink water. Have to make sure she always has lettuce, carrots and grass in her cage.
