Hey there everyone, I saw a link to this site over on GPC and decided to join.

I have 2 girls, Daphne and Delilah, they are both about a year old. Daphne is a most white aby, with black and brown. Delilah is a tri-colored crested. I'm also going to be adopting a boy (at the end of the month), Hes a longhaired pig (purvian I think) white and black. He will be neutered and then will live with my girls (after the 3 weeks).

My pigs get unlimited coastal hay.. 1/4 a cup of pellets per day.. (Mazuri at the moment, but I'm switching to oxbow) They also get veggies twice per day, in the morning and at night.

I use fleece and towels as bedding, my girls are 80% potty trained.

The girls daytime cage is 28in x 56in. The boys cage is 30in x 36in. I also have a daytime cage that attaches to the smaller one.. its 42in x 56in.

I will post pictures later on, I have to run and do something right now.
 
Hi & welcome Wickedrodent :)

Your girls sound lovely & so does the little boy you will be adopting. Look forward to seeing the pics O0

This is the 'runway' I made to connect the cage to a smaller cage. It isn't in use yet.. I just set it up real quick to get a picture of it. I'm going to cover the bottom with cardboard and then a cut table cloth.

I added another whole part onto the cage. Its a 3x4 that sits on my bed during the day, and gets folded up at night. Its considered the 'main cage' now and the 2x4 is considered the nighttime cage. Although they always have access to the 2x4.

I sewed a pillow and stuffed it with an old stuffed animals stuffing an old cheating Ex Boyfriend gave me (Die Frog Die.. lmao)

Tent was a BIG hit.. (the pillow is underneath it and made of the same fleece)

Delilah being caught snoozing (she didn't like me moving the fleece from over her)

I made a cage for the male guinea pig I'm going to adopt at the end of next month.. Its almost a 2x3 (30in x 36in) It will be the nighttime cage.. and he will get to runaround a 3x4 everyother day (switching out with my girls). Its two parts.. a 1x2 coroplast base, and a old (never used) dog litter pan. I put Daphne into it to show the approx. size.

Here is the hideyhouse castle I made.

Compared to one we bought years ago for the dog (over $100)

I set it up in the girls cage..

8-26-07Castle-cousinit-grmagrpa--1.jpg


There are 3 levels.. the bottom (inside the castle and under the second level) the middle (up one ramp) and the top (up the second ramp and into the purple pigloo.)

It takes up a good portion of the 3x4 cage, but it has many hideyspots and the girls have yet to leave it.

Oh, and the pink mesh part folds up and fits into the castle for easy storage.
 
wow your really creative! great set up..btw you your little runway, will you have something holding it up in the middle? or is it stronger than it looks?
 
Thanks very much!

Its really strong, but I do have something holding it up, just in case. Its lightweight shelf that also holds extra bedding and toys. =)
