They love there beds and popcorn on them when they are put into there cage at night.xx>>>
 
Can you give me instruction of how your nana made them?! They are fab I love them x)

Great piggie models too stunning as always!
 
Maybe i should show you the frame and the cushion bit comes out seperate? I will take some pics now, i dont know how she did it but i know she stuffed the outter ring thing to make it stay up. So i think she sewed the wadding into the ring shape and attached the bottom circle then made the cushions will add the pics now,just got to take them.
 
Awwwwwwww how gorgeous x) x) lovely beds and lovely piggies, are they coronets? :) I love to see piggies popcorn when they are so happy. I got a couple of beds for my girls and they wouldn't even get in them rolleyes so I have given them to my rodentologist who fosters piggies for the R.S.P.C.A.
However, my girls popcorn and spin round in the air some mornings when I replace their vet bed with nice clean warm vet bed and it is so lovely to see :)
 
Yes they are coronets i only found out last week from asking the question on this forum and ive had them a year.
They love them! I told my mum who made them she sould do a few more and sell them as they are really cheap to make if your good at sewing. :p
 
I'd buy them :(|), I am so going to try and make them! How did you manage to get a picture of him sleeping.... such a good advertisement :)!

Bottom as you can see she made the ring and then attached the bottom circle.

Side view she done two rings for extra support.
 
They always go in them i cant get them out! They can be washed in the washing machine and mine have been through a few times now.
 
They dont wee or poop in them. They just get a few bits of the megazorb in them. I guess its cause they sleep in them they dont want to wee in them they just wee everywhere else in the cage! :p

Glad they don't like sleeping in there own filth! lol :(|)
 
Those were the best pics i could get for you to see how she made them. I'm guessing the snuggle sacks would be easier as all you have to do is sew the sides up and add wadding to make a curve for the opening and then sew that up?
 
Yeah that bit would worry me too. Haha, but once that bits mastered it should be easy. Just practice on a piece of material first. :)
 
They're gorgeous the beds and the piggies. I had a feeble go at making one with some fleece and vet bed. My pigs do sleep on the one I made but it's not very nice to look at!

If you're successful at making it and they sleep on it it really makes you feel proud of yourself.
