is this ok for them? do you have an suggestions to make it better if it is not? x
 
only maybe newspaper on the floor to make it a little warmer possibly? its lovely though, i love the blue x
 
i love the colour, but i would wait to see what everyone else thinks as i have only ever had my piggles in inside cages/c&c

Theres lots of space for them though, i bet they love it.
 
This is a great space! :)

You could even put some fleece on the floor with a towel underneath? They probably will pee on the floor, unless very good piggies who only use their hay tray. With nothing to absorb it, they will drag it around on their bellies and get stinky!
 
hi,looks great but check that the white stuff on the walls is not lime wash ?
its flaky and could come off and be eaten and its not good for skin !



edit; if its an old building i would say it defo is !
 
Agree with the others, just a little something on the floor would make it a Piggy Paradise under their tiny paws :(|)
Looks really good and hope your piggies enjoy :))

How would i be able to find out? when i gave the outhouse a sort out i did scrub the walls with a brush to get loose bits off.

yes ill deffo buy some fleece, do you know a good place to get it from cheepish? i dont want them getting stinky.

They were making me laugh when i first put them in, the kept going through the red tunnel and reversing back out of it hehehe x)
 
What an awesome space!

The only thing that I would add is something like a pigloo as it's such a big space it may get a little drafty so with a smaller space to snuggle up into on colder nights they may be less susceptable to drafts.

Other than that... I have piggy paradise envy! I love to see piggies being spoiled.

Yes i will be getting more things for them when i get payed, i picked up a padded triangle cat bed thing today for the rabbits and i think the piggies need one hehehe.

I like animals to have as much space as poss, it was either the outhouse or the shed, i chose the outhouse as the shed is in the sun 24/7 and i thought it will be hard keeping them cool in the summer or keeping them warm in the winter. The outhouse has a window and shelves so i will be able to put a heater in or a fan in without wires trailing up the garden. x
 
find a bit not near the pigs and put some water on it ,if it goes wet and pasty or absorbs water then its lime wash,if it stays hard its paint generally.
dont panic too much though, only if its falling off into their space then it needs to be looked at.x
 
Asda, Primark and Tesco have plain fleece's in a range of colours starting from £2. Tesco had some in black, chocolate brown, teal and purple for £1.25 last week so bought some just because they were so cheap rolleyes
Ebay have some lovely colours and designs if you want to spend a bit more.
 
My only additional suggestion would be to cover the ramp... you could weave cardboard through the bars or put carpet on it with cable ties... Otherwise it's really great and so big! (jealous) :)

carpet, got it! thank you!

i dont think it looks that big in the pics but its 18 ft by 3.9 ft x
 
x) Wow-Great piggy pad! x)

As for piggy toys this is what I do for mine....

A box filled with shreadded paper/hay

a toilet roll with holes in filled with hay and healthy treats/pellets/veggies

Shreadded paper tied together and hug over bars for them to walk through..my buns LOVE this on the indoor cage. They keep jumping through them to get out into their pen.

Branches from apple trees so they can chew/peel back the bark. Be careful about buds though...not 100% sure if they can nibble those or not.

We need regular pix of them in their new pad though! :))
 
absolutely adorable

One thing in the first photo there is what looks like a metal ramp from cage to floor - it looks like metal bars - this may not be good idea as the height is not that high for them to jump in and out.

The metal bars will definately hurt their paws or legs :x

the photo is small but it looks like metal bars on the ramp :(

Sorry - apart from that its wonderful space :)) well done - nice colours too
