C&C cage with cat and dog?

[Maple_Minnie_Popcorn]

Hi, I’m a new pig owner, we currently have 3 baby girls and will be picking up a 4th in 5 weeks time so need a bigger space for them, I love the idea of the c&c cages but one, we don’t have a huge amount of space and two we have a cat and dog and I’d worry about them getting to them. Does any one else have a c&c cage with other pets around and a lid on them? Thanks

You can make lids out of c and c grids, i dont have a c and c but i know people have done it. A cat will probably reach through a grid though to get to a pig. I think a dog would be ok.

For space saving. You can make c n c cages to an L shape to go into a corner. Or if you can make it atleast 140cm x 60cm you can make an upstairs level ( we call it a loft) that covers about 1/4 of the cage. Allowing more room for roaming on ground level, whilst using the loft for a hay grazing area. But you will need to make a ramp and cover it with a grippy material. Vetbed is a good choice. You can buy it from pets at home

Thank you Is there any other cages you could suggest that are big enough for 4 but a cat couldn’t get in to? Obviously the cat is never in the room alone with them anyway. I was trying to find something and it seems the only thing big enough is a c&c?

I think only a c and c. There is a 180cm cage on the net. Its called little critters or something. But it is very expensive. Thats all i know of. Or you could put two 120's together and mod it to your needs

I have 4 pigs and a cat, the pigs live in a 2x8 C&C with a lid that I made out of grids. Tilly (my cat) knows she shouldn’t go near the pigs so she stays well clear. I think she’s a bit frightened of them as well

If we’re ever out the house we shut the door so Tilly can’t get in there, just in case. We’ve had this set up for almost 4 years and no incidents, as long as it’s sturdy and the cage is off the ground I’m sure it will be fine! I have ikea tables that the C&C is on so it’s well out of Tilly’s reach

These photos aren’t very good but this is what I have atm.
