Ok Little Miss Undecided here, but forgive me as its my first Autumn/Winter with pigs.
I'm bringing the girls back in tomorrow. They are coming in the living room in the big cage for sleeptime of a night and in the day time I have 13 Grids left (not many connectors but we have cable ties and twine I can use so I can make a 4x2 cage for the hall which is draft free. The bonding with myself and the girls is going great, Flora even took some food off me this morning and I thought that was such a huge step for her as she is the most skittish!
So the C&C cage will act as a run! I thought that if they were outisde and not brought in of a night then they would be ok, I was advised not to bring them in of a night as it could cause more colds if putting them out in the day. And now that I've got Megazorb on tap I've noticed no smell in the house. My hall is laminate so is easily cleaned and will use newspaper and hay in the 'run' and clean up every evening. I know it is more work but as long as the girls are snug thats all that matters! I can also store all my bits and bobs for the pigguns in the hutch so it's not as if I'm loosing any space, just moving things around a bit.
Will make my C&C cage today with Emily's help she is off school with an ear infection!
