Looking For The Perfect C And C Cage!

[Jen H]

The sides on the 5x2 base are a decent height - Id say 20cm but I'm rubbish at estimating. My set up is in the main thread of members C&C pics - posted end Aug/beginning Sept if you want to have a look.

The sides on the 1x2 loft are more erm variable as that's where I didn't plan it properly. Still though at least 10cm I'd say at their lowest. The sides which are one piece of correx with the base in the loft are at least 10cm but then I used off cuts from the same single sheet and attached them with bulldog clips to make the sides higher. I think the purpose of higher sides is more to help the piggies feel safe (enclosed rather than exposed) and to keep hay/poops in rather than to stop piggies falling out.

I know for babies you should make the square holes smallerby overlapping grids but you don't need to for more grown piggies.

That's brilliant thanks! Yes, they like to fire their poops out, so hopefully they'll now ricochet off the sides-that'll teach them I'll have a look at your setup now.

@PiggySmitten yes I remember yours! In fact I took a screenshot at the time to show my hubby what c&c can look like, and I'm copying the black grids and correx as it looks really smart. I do like the coloured correx, but I want to have different coloured fleeces.

Have just counted - it comes up 3 squares of the grid on the bottom level and just short of 2 squares on the loft level.

Aw I'm touched!
