I'd like to recycle the metal strip you hang your shoes on (from a door-hung shoe rack), and use it as decorative balcony/hayloft edging. Its arched and the same colour as my C&C and though it'd look nice and be practical at the same time.
I have a slight concern about the height of it (I would guess 6") and was wondering whether piggies would be able to climb over the edge. I obviously don't want to put it in if piggies are gonna go tumbling over the top onto the level below.
the bit i use to stop my guineas falling off the balcony is half the size of a C&C cube but there is another cage above starting from that height! Mine can reach up to the top of a C&C cube but not get over it, how tall is the piece your measurement had a smiley in the middle! is it as tall as a cube if so will be ok
This is a tricky question... See, Mette-Marit is my most agile piggy and she can easily get into a box that's 20 cm high (she did when I used a cardboard box for their hay in the holiday pen). My pen at home has a fence that's just 20 cm high and she has NEVER TRIED getting over it. It's like she doesn't even consider it as an option.
If a piggy gets cornered, maybe it would be an issue? I dont know, to be honest... Maybe attach it but dont use too many zipties . That way you can switch it for something else if it seems unsafe with the piggies you get. Some are kamikazes, others cautious wee ones, like my little Bo
I had to use a on-line measurement converter to work out how tall that was I'm a metric girl! it seems a little on the short side but as previously stated they may be fine with that. my first c&c had a hay loft and I didn't put in a barrier at all it was just the correx stopping them falling off and they never did
After a while they did start leaning on it when they heard food coming so I had to adapt the cage and add a barrier as was frightened of them falling, but really the barrier is just strenthening the correx as it is not much taller!
