Carrot Cottage Demolition Thread

Just now went to clean out Fifi's cage and found her sitting on the top of the carrot cottage. She looked very pleased with herself :)
She has already made the door a bit wider :luv:

It’s incredible what can be achieved with a bit of motivation. If they made chocolate roof tiles I’d probably climb up on to the roof, too.
 
It’s not just the carrot cottage, which I have moved back against the wall (‘twas at a jaunty angle earlier), but they are trashing the place. It didn’t look like that this morning.

The hay heap is the remains of a Trixie Hay Bale. I haven’t seen these mentioned on the forum but our piggies love them. (I wouldn’t be buying them were it not for the fact that our garden centre sells them so cheaply. They don’t last long enough!)

Bianca was the one whom we discovered had been tearing up the lino flooring of her hutch, which we had thought safely hidden beneath the fleece. The first time that one of her slaves tried to stop her in her wanton destruction she fought her off and then, having never nipped anyone before, when her beloved and favourite slave then gently tried to stop her, she actually bit her! Little Miss Madam.

Evie has taken up residence in the remains of the hay cube. It’s starting to get a bit smelly :vom::vom:View attachment 188222

Dear Evie,
You stay there for as long as you like.
My mean slave took my beautiful hay cube away as she said it was 'stinky'.
I worked for weeks getting it just how I wanted, and she did not take that into account at all.
Honestly, these slaves have no idea about piggy interior design.
I am sure your hay cube is lovely (although probably not quite as wonderful as mine was).
Love Ruby xx
 
Yeah I thought that too! They nibbled on the lid over several days and different sittings and half of it went up the hoover.. They loved working through the rest of the cake though!

Your piggies are very efficient and thorough recyclers :nod:

I like the carrot "cake ", maybe I'll get one for my 3 for Christmas. I reckon Rosewood should make a carrot tunnel - similar to the cottage but a hole at each end instead of one on the long side. That would work better in the narrower space of a hutch, as it wouldn't block zoomies...

A carrot tunnel is such a fun idea! They’d all love that wouldn’t they.

Yes piggies are very environmental- good at recycling, vegan before it was cool to be vegan!

I did take this bit of the cake away from them (remnants from the lid). It’s probably ok but being a paranoid type I didn’t want any piggy heads stuck in it!EB449B88-8BBE-4AF6-A955-256E0926F00F.webp
