Neglect the sourdough starter at your own peril! That said, Pigs are smart, tidy and sensitive creatures who, given enough room, will choose a bathroom corner as far away from their food, water, and mud bath as possible if left to their own devices. But they are large, clumsy, and really need a mud bath area to protect their sensitive skin from bugs and sunburn. Keeping them confined in a too small area is cruel beyond belief.
Ugh! I've left potatoes in the metal-lined drawer for five months at a time over the winter--completely missing them when we packed up and closed up the house. Terrible!
Once, we left the refrigerator on for the winter, the freezer packed with meats, only to come home to a rotten, horrible smell. Turns out the refrigerator will stop working if temps get cold enough, and they got to below zero many times that winter, so...
Hopefully, after that hard work under extreme circumstances, the aroma of freshly baked bread will coat the kitchen (and you) in comfort. P.S. you described the celery remains I found in my frig drawer perfectly.

This happened to me recently and I never did find the culprit. Ended up having to toss the frig. Thank goodness it was a small one.
I’m so sorry!

It does smell much better now!! Sorry about your celery stink. I feel your pain!
