Jumping piggies

[Lucyscavies]

hi, I’m hoping to have my boys in a c&c cage in my room by next week and I’ve heard they can actually jump over the grids? Is it true, how can I prevent it and has it happened with any of your piggies? Thanks x

Hi,
In my experience as long as there isn’t a platform/hidie on either side of the grid you should be fine.
I’d keep your bedroom door shut and a close eye on them during the first week though, just in case.

Mine jump on top of their log tunnels sometimes so I make sure to keep those away from the sides. I think escape artist piggies are quite rare but if youre worried about it then you could get a lid/top for the cage.

Thank you

I made the mistake of believing they wouldn't jump over. Ginny disappeared one day, she had jumped over the grids and hidden under the cage. There was nothing to climb on at the time.
They now have a lid on the cage!
