How to stop PBPs from rooting up your lawn??

[redhen]

My lawn is like a mine field....
Any ideas on how to stop them from tearing it up? I mean i could keep them in their pig pen 24/7... but i just feel horriable doing that..

They squeal and go nuts when they see us outside...
But everytime i let them out into the yard they eventually start rooting it up...
Someones going to break their ankle one of these days....

Those little dudes CAN root up some yard. The only thing I can think of is one of those hog rings you put in their noses, but I don't imagine you's be up for that.

I thought about those rings... but... i think it would hurt them too much. Do the rings go through the snout...or does it just kinda clip onto the snout?...

It's a C shaped ring that you put in there and close up. You just tighten it up enough to make it stay, but I still don't know that it would be too comfortable.
