Hi there it's me again! So it's been a while since I last posted (see my last post for the full story) - the boys have been separate for a few months now and they are really happy; no signs of depression at all! I have let them see each other from time to time so they dont get lonely but there's still rumble strutting going on! Such dramaSo I'm still planning to pair them off with females.
So I'm currently ready for their new house. I want them to live in a shed/summerhouse.I dont want to spend too much money but my plan was to have the two pairs each in their own 2x5 C&C cage with a loft because they're so easy to access and set up (ive got some that i use for playtime), all in one shed. Then i can put my current GuineaDad liners inside to line it with. Obviously id have to have access for me to walk around in the shed. Roughly a 2x5 C&C cage is 170cm long so id need at least that length hutch - ive been looking at a summerhouse from BillyOH thats 10x8ft which would give me ample space inside but now I'm wondering whether ive got enough space in my garden to fit it! Ideally id buy a smaller shed and have them free-roaming inside (not in cages) but i cant do this because theyve got to be separate!
Basically my question is - anyone got any ideas about how to house them outside? Are my ideas good? But where can i find a smaller shed and how can i house the pigs separately inside? Would i have them freeroaming inside and split it using C&C bars? But then what would i use to line the floor? I do want to keep my GuineaDad liners and i dont mind buying more but keep in mind id have to double up - one for each pair and then another spare for washing as they take time to dry.
Hope you lovely people on here can help me with all your great ideas!Feel free to ask questions if this didnt make sense
