Making levels in a shop bought cage

[Fantasimo]

Okay, so forgive me if I’m pointing out the obvious, but I have just stumbled across a hack to give my boys more upper level space.

I have a wooden house with a ramp and a platform, but because they’re teenagers and need their own space, they used to take it in turns sleeping up there. Until I decided to utilise the trusty household footstool and voila! Now they both sleep up there together and love it.

So I thought I would post in case this idea is useful to anyone (also, the footstool plastic is so hard that they can’t chew it).

Downside; I can now reach nothing high in my house!

They are very handy those foot stools. I have two I use that fold up, great for their playpen x

Especially since my boys like to be high (for whatever reason) and traditional piggie houses tend to take up so much room

Thank you @Fantasimo for sharing your tip and lovely photos.

I, too, have a small selection of plastic footstools that I use for floor or run time, and also for any piggies recently introduced together as there are multiple exits, no pig can get trapped, they offer an extra sitting level surface, and they are dead easy to clean and don’t need to go through the washing machine. I can’t praise plastic footstools highly enough. I think we sometimes forget how good they are, and how long they last.

Unfortunately I didn’t realise how much I used it until I put it in with the boys I’ll have to buy myself another one I think (last of the big spenders!)
