Now the girls have started to wander off the fleece blanket@floor time, i need some sort of containment so any recommendations greatly appreciated !
 
Grids such as the ones @Hennie linked to are really good, also you can try duck-taping Correx together to make a folding pen. The grids are better, but I had some left-over Correx and this was a very cheap solution at the time :)
 
This was recommended to me on here and is great.

ME & MY PET SMALL FOLDING PLAYPEN GUINEA PIG/RABBIT/HAMSTER GARDEN PLAY PEN/CAGE

I bought 3 to link together, but two is plenty to be honest.

Not sure if this goes for all pens/piggies, but the bigger/more 'with it' piggie out of our two will quite often sit by the bars looking like he's trying to suss out if he can make the jump on not. He will quite often put his two front paws to the very top of the pen so I daren't take my eyes off them when they're in it!

how high is it please ? couldn't find that measurement on the website... I think this will be perfect for me... the kids are supposed to be on biggie watch but i would feel better knowing they are enclosed so i can get on with jobs.. i figure they can come out more often then when i am home alone...
 
@artcasper it is approx 60cm high. We got it before we had a c&c cage and they were in a 120cm cage. I used to put them in here every evening and then again at the weekends so they could have a proper zoom round. Its great watching them charge round it, normally I put in some boxes which I've cut doors into, so the weave in out out of those too

thank you ! It looks great and roomy for them to have a run around! mine are in a 2 x 4 c&c but i like them to have a run around... going to order one as soon as i get my 5% zoo plus discount code !
 
all ordered... along with a grass seed tray thing, 2 new bowls and a snuggle safe heat pad ! Well it is their birthday this month ! Thought the Snuggle safe pad wasn't bad for £13.99 ...x
