Rosierum, That's a really cute video of your two in theirs. It does look like they have enough space....I'm wondering if perhaps I'll get one too. From the dimensions it didn't sound that big but it's probably just my poor maths. I tried to visualise how big it would be, as my Yossi is quite a big boar and Little Bud is not so little these days either, but I think I underestimated.

Those who already have this ball pit...Would you say it's quite quick & easy to fold down? (i.e. if you had to fold it away every day would it still be practical or would it get too annoying?!)

Are you are familar with C&C's? is the same size as a 3x3 i.e. : 42x42 inches.

... and yes my children have had things like this and are easy to pack away :)
 
my sister gave me a pop up pool for the new piggies to use as their only small and they love it! and its waterproof too :)
 
The ball pits are great I got 2 last week and they were reduced to £7.50, but see that they are back to £9 now. Even so they are worth the money. I pretty well put mine up and away again every day and they take a few seconds. They don't come with a bag but just a cardboard ring to put around it to stop it popping back up again, I could never get the ring back around it but use the elc plastic bag that it came in and tie a knot in the top and it works well. I use a plastic sheet on the bottom with a fleece on top, piggies love it and run around loads.
 
I've got one of these for my 2 baby boys and they love it.
I am now toying with the idea of getting a second one. My thought was that I could cut a doorway in them both, and connect the two together with a tunnel or something, so they would have loads of room to run around.
I am even toying with the idea of using this as their winter indoor home. I had planned to bring the hutch into the heated conservatory, but would not have the room for this and 2 ballpits.
What do people think, would one of these be feasible as a home do you think? I would have lots of hidey places/bedding areas. I think I would cover one end with a fleece, and make some curtains or something, and would have a tray full of hay, and snuggles etc, but not sure whether they would prefer to be in the hutch.
I'm a bit worried about the hutch smellin if it is inside, but would line it with lino or something to try and prevent this.
Any thoughts appreciated!
Think I will order a 2nd pit anyway, just for an extra run space.
 
I find it plenty big enough for my 2 adult piggies.I keep mine out all the time and they go in it every day.They look really bored and miserable when they are in their cage.They get so excited when in put them in their run.
 
Just wanted to say thanks for this great idea!

I have only had my two young piggies for a week, and they have been in it twice already, as the weather has been too wet for them to go in their outdoor run on the grass.

It is so convenient, and gives them plenty of room to stretch their legs. They are so excited!
