, WOW i absolutely love your shed - your piggies look so happy it's fantastic and i'm loving the pink too! I'm thinking of doing something similar for my four, could you tell me what you use under the fleece? & what sort of fleece is it? e.g. just normal fleece material? I'd love to know as it's a great idea. thanks xx
And all your piggies are lovely x)Hi I've just joined this forum and this is the first post i've ever written a reply to so i'm doing this right
p Before I joined I didn't even realise that you could use fleece, but I'm so glad that I found out about it as I love it! There are loads of great threads about using fleece - people really helped me figure out how to do it. I did start off using towels under, but, even after 2 or 3 days, they were so wet that they were making the wood damp. So now I'm using cotton mattress toppers, which work fantastically well and I'm expecting them to last about a week before they need changing (after 3 days they feel pretty much dry). The fleeces were £2 each from Dunelm; I'm spot cleaning morning and night (takes 5 minutes), then changing them twice a week. I've only been using the fleece for a couple of weeks, but, so far, I am pleased with how soft and dry it is for them. 
thank you for sharing xx
Thank you. Well, now that they've been in there a few days, it seems to work as well as I hoped it would - they love having so much space. In fact, they told me today that they think I should let a couple of rescue piggies share it with them - they said it was only fair now that they've got such luxurious quarters!
It was £25 from Ebay - I thought that it would be a bit of warmth in the winter for them, as it's raised off the ground.
Did you try then, Claire? I must admit that I will be slightly nervous about possibly upsetting my 4, as they've really settled nicely together. However, I now know how many piggies are looking for homes and we've definitely got the space (and more than enough love)I would love. Natured boar to join my four girls but my Ellie Won't except one
so it seems only fair to try - I've always loved the idea of a proper little herd. I was thinking either another pair of sows or a neutered boar and sow pair? Would a rescue (I think I'll try either Honeybunnies or Cavy Corner) want me to take my 4 in to them and see who they get on with, or would they leave me to just try them at home? x
