We currently have a Bluebell outdoor hutch with a thermal cover, but being a softy I am already concerned our little pigs are going to get too cold over the winter. So I decided I'll bring the hutch indoors.
I currently line the hutch with wood shavings but wasn't sure we wanted the inevitable mess and smell they bring. Someone my wife knows suggested using fleece liners, which we thought was a great alternative. So I measured the hutch and to my horror it is only 5ft (I was sure we had bought a 6ft hutch, but apparently not!). This is a problem as we now have four pigs and it clearly isn't quite big enough....
SO ... I am now on the hunt for an indoor hutch/cage of some sort that will fulfil the 6ft needs of our four little pigs. It's all a bit bewildering to be honest! Looking at Pets At Home (where the Bluebell hutch came from) even their indoor Ferplast cages only go up to 140cm, which by my calculations in only 4.5ft!
Can anyone recommend anything? I see C&C cages are all the rage, but not sure how suitable they will be. Ideally I want something on a stand, if that's even possible. I'm open to something pricey if need be, I just want to make sure they have what they need asap.
