where is the best place to get a bit of vet bed from for the ramp @Critter ? I will have a ramp in the new c&c cage when it arrives.. I have lots of fleece, would that be ok too? If i attached some velcro or something to it ?Hiya, that sounds exciting. For wood you could try looking at websites of small-scale independent hutch makers and see what they say they use on their websites (if they mention it) or you could look around websites of major manufacturers and see if it's mentioned there.....
For the ramp can I make a suggestion? Can you use Velcro or similar to attach rubber-backed vet-bed onto it instead of carpet? My thinking is that it is easier to remove and wash as sooner or later they're going to pee on it.....I use that and I really recommend it.
The size sounds perfectly fine for two or three piggies - for three piggies to live happily together you are better off with sows - if your current pigs are boars then adding another will likely cause fall-outs and fights.

@artcasper you can get that from places like amazon, ebay, fetch, etc. Have a lookie on Google, I thought P@H did it but I could only see dog beds lol

Hey, I have so much vet bed left over from when I used to use it as bedding. I'll have to check the sizes, I cut them to fit in the washing machine, I think the biggest piece is 2x2 (grids) You're welcome to have a piece for free for your ramp if you want? It is pink or purple though so depends if you'd fancy that hehe It's in my sisters garage so will check when I see her tomorrow if you'd like some!

Good job. The cage looks amazing. Lucky piggies. C&C cages can sometimes look untidy (not that I mind, because my house is more or less dedicated to all my animals anyway) but cages like this are great for pigs as well as aesthetically pleasing for the humans
