Junior Guinea Pig
I've been reading through previous threads on putting in a kitchen area and I'm looking for advice on adding one to the C&C I'm building.
The cage is 6x4, one level. It is planned to hold six piggies at first (pending their approval of their new cage mates). My goal is to make cleaning easier and hopefully cheaper than cleaning four cages fully every 5 days or so. My plan is pine pellets covered by fleece liners throughout where hopefully I'll only have poop to vacuum.
What I'm not sure about is how big of a kitchen I need. I'm planning two litterboxes with hay and hay and pellets in the same area. I was also thinking of putting pine pellets or shavings under the hay for absorbency.
Where I'm uncertain is can I put all the food & water in the kitchen area with that many sows in one cage?
All advice, pictures, ideas welcome!
