Hiya, I'm Melora, I've been lurking round the GPforum every now and then for the past year or so, and thought it was about time I actually joined in. I've just renovated the piggies new hutch, so here's some photos...
(Ignore the dates, they were taken today but the camera's in a timewarp)
Outside view
(with next doors cat Molly, who is the spitting image of my cat, and likes to sneak in and steal food)
The hutch is, I believe, a Primrose Den from P@H, 5 x 2 x 2 foot approx.
I bought it in good condition from a guy on ebay - total bargain, £20 and he delivered it!
Plus about £14 for pet safe wood paint and 2 packs of vinyl floor tiles (should have gone to poundland, but I was being lazy and just got them when I got the paint!).
Two coats of paint applied by me, while attempting to stop my Luna and next door's Molly rubbing themselves on the hutch whilst it was still damp!
The whole floor is covered in vinyl tiles. I measured them and scored them so they have a bend in them and cover about 2cm up the hutch walls... forgot to get a picture before I put the newspaper down.
The girls are currently on newspaper, shavings and hay - I have samples of megazorb and ecobed on their way, will change to whichever one Paddi doesn't try to eat...
Inside view, with Paddi's bum.
The wooden nestbox was already in the hutch. The nordic cabin-thingy was form zooplus, has been in their run all summer but has a handy ramp for them to get on top of the nestbox. Might put a cuddle cup or similar up the top.
Paddi got the hump when she realised that Guinness had got up the top first. Paddi usually commanders any raised level, and refuses to let anyone else up there.
Guinness looking please with herself.
The hutch door is open, there isn't a gap for piggies to fall down when it is closed!
Somewhere in all that hay is Shammi, who declined to appear in any photos and set to work nomming...
Guiness again.
Peeking pig! Or just Paddi having a sulk...
