Carrot Cottage Demolition Thread

I absolutely blame this thread for the order I just placed on the wilko website! Got a large one for my rabbits too who love demolitions.

You absolutely *must*'show us how your bunnies remodel theirs. (As well as showing us what your piggies do to theirs )
 
I bathed the girls yesterday, they were not impressed, so I promised them a carrot cottage to try and get back in their good books. So far they're loving it (Vespa a little too much - she keeps telling the other two off when they have a nibble).

My pair have been busy, I think our cottage is in a terminal decline... No part has escaped unscathed. The first picture is how I found it, dragged across the pen and wedged upside down against the tunnel.

Watch out - they may be planning to use urine - ancient building material used in wattle and daub construction. Apparently piggies have a plentiful supply .....:lol!:

This is something I'm watching for as they usually wee on everything. The house spends more time on it's roof than standing now, one shove from Spike and it's toppled over. They must be listening to me for once, they have been told if they wee on it it will have to be binned.

Mine have had the medium ones from Wilkos @eileen. Please do join the Carrot Cottage Demolition Team. We need more pics so piggies in action!
 
I think mine must have been the medium it was £6 in Wilkinsons, the only one they had at the time.Yesterday they had a bigger one for £9 which would better fit 2 guineas inside if they get on well and would share. Mine get on well enough that one could demolish from inside while the other was outside.

Sadly it was the generous coating of urine on Mollie and Mabel's last one that led to its demise. That smell of wet cardboard was the clincher.
 
My herd have overheard mutterings of the carrot cottage and would like to express their disappointment that their hoomin hasn't bought them one since Christmas. The hoomin maintains that the incessant noises of demolition were quite unsociable but may consider a repurchase...
 
I took my half eaten one out of the cage and swapped it for a plastic pigloo, just for a change. They had slowed down with their demolition.
They get it back when in the hall for floor time.
I did use it once for transporting piggies from cage to run, but "roof" ended up covered in poo so never doing that again!
 
Eddi is actively campaigning for the addition of a carrot cottage to his piggie palace.
Today I finally gave in, and set off to find him one in a local pet shop.
Sadly none were available, so I bought him a gorgeous, hay filled wicker basket instead.
I shall start a separate post - he was not impressed.
My quest for the carrot cottage will continue next week when the shops reopen.
 
I really want to get the girls one, but I'm not convinced that Smudge would share...

I feel like I'm being mean, but I doubt that poor Poppy would be permitted a sniff...unless I get two!
 
I think I made a mistake getting the large one. They can just about sniff the carott roof but can't reach to eat it. Feel mean now! They are enjoying a good chew on the walls but don't seem to have their hearts in the demolition project. Feel a bit disappointed lol
