I've only used Ziggy's Piggies, but the cage liners I got were of good quality and also pretty cheap. :) Delivery was also very quick. My pigs love them!
 
I loved CosyCavies but their shop has been closed for a lengthy period so I think Helen may have ceased making/trading. I have bought from all the others you have listed @PiggyOwner

There are very many fabulous makers of cage wares

The Piggy Lounge is run by one of our members and she donates funds to rescues at times - she is a regular attender at rescue fundraising days

Piggiepigpigs Online Shop

https://www.facebook.com/TheSqubeFactory/ - supports guinea pig rescues - I think she donates a share of her proceeds to Glynneath

SoWendySew by SoWendySew - this lady has donated and supported TEAS - I have bought from her when she has been at TEAS fundraising events.

I am pretty sure that there is a fleece maker who donates a share of profits to Tees Valley GPR (I have met her with @Stewybus on a couple of occasions but I cannot remember her name)

If I can think of any others I will post them here. It's a great idea to share this information.
 
I have used ziggypiggies,pampered piggies boutique,piggypigpigs ,recently all make good items.
Cosy cavies and Hammocky hammocks have ceased trading.c and e cosies are on a break due to having a baby !
 
I've used Cavy couture before. The stuff is great quality and is delivered really quickly. And because I'm a skinflint I never replace it. Some of the stuff is years old, probably 5+ years and it still is in great condition.

I think C&E cosies may be up and running again - but I'm not sure they make ramp tunnels any more . I will check.
 
Thank you for the updates everyone - this is the information I need. I think an up to date list would be very useful for everyone - especially our newer members.


Keep the comments and updates coming :tu:

Any recommendations from non UK members?
 
I have brought from a few of those before. Can't comment on a few of them as haven't ordered from them. I have always heard good reviews from People who have brought from Ziggy's piggies.

Personally I have brought from Paws up and would highly recommend them, really great products at fantastic prices. I have had my stuff for around 2 years now and it is still going strong.

I did order from steph's piggie paradise a while ago and the service was great but I found the products I brought over priced and the pigs didn't use them. I brought 2 of her novelty piggie pods, they were way smaller than expected and all of my pigs won't use them. The quality of the items and the sewing however is fantastic.
 
I’ve just bought some snuggle pouches from Piggies in Blankets UK.
They are lovely and I liked the fact that they are custom made. They look well made.
It’s too early to know how much the girls like them as so far only Jemimah has gone in for a nap otherwise they’re sitting on top of it.
 
I use Ziggy's Piggy's (for liners), Pawsup for Cosy pets (For cosies and huts) and Angelika Fleece cages. I can certainly recommend them all!

Just found Jemimah struggling to get into the pouch. The fact that Keziah was sitting on it didn’t help.
 
Stephs piggie paradise was brilliant. Friendly service and a lovely cage liner. Light weight and absorbent. Beautifully made.
 
I can vouch for Ziggy's. My two have steadfastly refused to use the snuggle pouches because they're gits, but they loved the fleece tunnels.

Do you have a link to the website please ?
 
piggiepigpigs have very good furniture,Ziggie liners are very good,pampered piggies cozie items i find are ecellent.i love c/e cage liners.
 
I have 2 sets of fleece liners from Ziggy's Piggies and a set from Pawsup. Comparing the two, I like Ziggy's fleece liners better. It's not very thick and bulky but so absorbent. Ziggy also replies to queries right away. I messaged her and in 5 minutes, I got a reply and managed to process the transactions right away, regardless if it's on Facebook or email. On the other hand though, Pawsup's fleece liner is quite bulky but she has more designs of fleece to choose from. The ones I order from her is a bit cheaper too (just a couple of pounds cheaper). The only downside with Pawsup was I never got a reply when I made inquiries in Facebook even though I know she read it. When I sent an email, it took her a week or so to respond. I think it's just probably she's busy.

In the US, I highly recommend

Guinea Pig Market

For supplies and c&c cages, I recommend

Guinea Pig Cages Store

I make most fleece liners and some accessories. Much, much cheaper. If you are looking for the supplies, recommend

$1.99/YARD PROMOTIONAL FLEECE
Fleece comes 59"x36" and simple to measure doubling over for any length cage. Very reasonable with cute patterns.

https://www.uhaul.com/MovingSupplies/Packing-Supplies/Furniture-Pad/?id=2670
Uhaul pads-something I believe can only be found in the US unless off ebay.UK

https://www.amazon.com/Whitmor-Storage-Cubes-Stackable-Interlocking/dp/B007ELAS9G
set of 4 is about $30 after delivery charges and makes a 2x4. Less expensive then grids through guineapigcagestore

Home Depot or Lowes will carry chloroplast in many sizes. It costs anywhere from $5 for one fitting a loft kitchen to $17 for one used as a base for a 2x7 cage. Should be able to find these most areas in US.
 
I have used Ada Art Guinea Pig Beds on Facebook for unique pigloos, they have removable pee pads and have washed well. All my piggies love them.

They are made to order and you get photos of them made before you pay for them.

I have also used minnietheminxxx on Ebay for cozzies and cage liners, they have all been great.
 
I thought I'd post some feedback on here for Ziggy's Piggies. I haven't received the items yet but the customer service is superb. My email was answered within minutes and we quickly worked out an order which was very reasonably priced. Ziggy was very helpful and a pleasure to deal with. We'll definitely be shopping again.

Thank you Ziggy.

We recently bought fleecy piggy furniture from Cavy Couture and Ziggy's Piggies and everything we ordered was fantastic and delivered really fast for custom made items- the piggies are loving their unicorn pattern cuddle couch from Cavy Couture for lap time :)
