Can anyone please recommend a indoor cage suitable for 2 piggies?

At present they are living in a outside hutch and run but when winter arrives i intend to bring them indoors.

I also would like to know recommendations for bedding as my pair are very messy and i'm concerned about the smell and ease of cleaning them out.

Any suggestions much appreciated
 
You need to start thinking about where you are going to put the indoor cage and what space you can give them.
Does it need a top/lid? If you have other animals or small children?

If you are going down the commercial cage route they tend to be on the small size and with 2 boars I would suggest this 5ft cage, you would have to modify the ramp and make a solid floor in the mezzaine area which would give extra space and possibly a nice hay area for the piggies? A great price for this cage compared to other companies.

This is the same cage from zooplus http://www.zooplus.co.uk/shop/small_pets/hutches_cages/rabbit_cage/140_cm_cages/95921

Or you could make your own C&C cage which are alot more flexible.

Why dont you have a good look through the housing stickys to get a better idea what would work for you.

I recommend c&c cages they allow you to make the cage as big as you want and have good ventilation I use fleece with towel underneath which out of all bedding previously used is the cheapest and easiest also I find smells the least :) if your not keen on fleece you could always try carefresh iv used this when iv gone on holiday to make it easier for my grandparents to clean the cage as trying to explain fleece to them was too difficult :/
