Has Anybody Used Or Have This Cage?

One of my pigs escaped a temporary cage I had set up for him and I was wondering whether people who have or had this cage (see photo) could give me possibilities of how piggies could escape. I have checked the cage over the best I can but I wasn't able to find anything.

It is a good job I was awake and sat at my desk otherwise I wouldn't of known there was an escaped guinea pig causing tons of trouble in my room. I turned around and saw him dash in between the two cages.

Trying to catch a pig at three thirty in the morning is good fun while trying to not wake up anybody in the house. I would of been completely screwed if he had of ran under the gap underneath my bed and refused to come out! Haha

I have sat and watched him and the way I suspect he had escaped was squeezing his body through the bars where the water bottle is since he managed to stick his head through what looked like a rather tight gap as he nearly got stuck and choked himself.

I wouldn't like go know what could of happened if I wasn't home! This cage is going to be ditched because it is nothing but a death trap.

Yikes. That's scary. Glad the little one is ok.

Wowsers. How old is your piggy? And Where did you get the cage from? It may be worth taking it back for a refund and asking them to remove it from sale if a full sized adult piggy can escape through the bars.

He is between seven and nine months I believe. I didn't think that the water bottle weighing down on the bar ever so slightly would create a big enough gap for piggies to put their head through yet alone squeeze their bodies through. The cage was from jollyes which I bought roughly less than one year ago when I had house rabbits which I used as a hidey house for them.
