brought an indoor cage out my local newspaper, it was a bargain at eight pound! its plastic with plastic sides and clear plastic top, with sliding bars across the top- I'm not sure what its called see. ive cleaned it out, and i am going to line it with fleece so that the kids can have them indoors on rainy days and have them in when they want to. I'm so chuffed with my purchase. yesterday my partner fitted the ladders that i got off e-bay in their outside hutch, and they was up and down it straight away, even though weve only had them three weeks. we then decided to go to hollybush to look at the garden and pet things-and we had a car accident! i cant believe it I'm still in shock that i havent cried yet!were all okay just whiplash, but the car is a right mess, ive got to go and get it assessed today to see whether its a write off or not!and to make it worse, my partner left this morning to work away for the week! I'm sooo down at the mow!sorry-rant over!gemxx:...:...:...:...8...8...
 
oh hun, sorry to hear about your accident. does knock you sick, had a couple myself. I'm only 5 mins from hollybush, so if you want a chat, don't hesitate to pm me x>>
 
Nice to be able to have them in that's for sure!

Is it like a plastic fish tank? I can't picture it?

What an awful thing to happen with the accident and now your partner being away. maybe having the guineas in will cheer you up? How do you feel today? Any injuries?
 
Oh no what a rotten time you are having. Hope the piggies make you feel better, I think animal cuddles will help anyone. Fingers crossed your car isn't too much trouble to get sorted.

Is the new cage a bit like this one? It has a mesh top that clips on.

Word of warning for when the cold weather arrives it is unwise to bring them into the warm and then putting them back into the cold as this can upset their little bodies as they are not good at regulating temperatures either hot or cold and can make them poorly, it is better for them to have a consistent temperature range. Even if this means wrapping yourselves up like michelin man and sitting in the garden in the middle of winter for cuddles before heading inside for hot chocolate to warm up
 
thanks everyone, the bloke whos fault it is wants to pay rather than going through his insurance, because of his excess. just hope he doesnt turn around and say hes not paying(that **** would happen knowing me). ive got whiplash, and my arms hurting where i held the dashboard. ive got headache aswell, but i always get them when i stress out aswell, so i dont know. I'm gunna cheer myself up now and have a look at some snuggle beds and things for the piggies. nothin beats the blues than your piggies and reatail therapy-even if thats for the piggies aswell!lol. gemxx
 
that word with the stars on is the short hand for probably, dow know why its gone like that- and thankyou nickylowe40.gemx
 
If you're injured you should claim - did he go into the back of you?

Why does he want to pay too? Sounds fishy as you said the car was a mess so it's going to cost him more to do it privately than it would to go through the insurance surely?

Ditto what lovelygirl said about the hot / cold / hot thing with guineas. Do one or the other in or out in the winter.
 
I'm sorry to hear of the crash,
back to the piggies,the hot/cold thing is an issue and truthfully those cages provide next to no ventilation so are no good for piggies xxxxxxxxxx
 
thanks everyone, but ive only had the plastic cage for bringing them in every so often, so my kids can play with them, and to vary from having a run on the grass, its not for a permanent home.
p.s-lisajazz- he said its because its his first years insurance, and he pays fourteen hundred but this year comes down to seven hundred after first year, and also he has a five hundred quid excess. its better for me for him to pay it aswell as it saves all that trouble. just hope everything goes okay, and gets sorted! p.s-everyones told me to claim for compo-but i never went up the hostpital with the whiplash, i was in to much shock and upset really, and its to late now.gemxx everyone please keep there fingers crossed that he turns up friday to pay up front for the repairs!gemx
