I have just had great fun redecorating and designing my 4 pigs house to brighten up their winter! It is complete with wallpaper and windows, a mirror, pictures - their house within was a bit drafty with a large opening so I made some curtains to cosy it up! They have since nibbled the bars on the window of their wooden house so now go in and out that way as well! Phase 2 is an upper level which is in the planning but for the moment the pigs are very happy.

Thanks for the nice comments - its more for my benefit not the pigs! I am sure they probably aren't fussed by the decoration but my 8 year old son had great fun choosing the wallpaper and can get to them much easier now for hugs and fun!
 
haha that looks really cool i have a 3 by 3 cage and a second level so its really big
 
Brilliant - love it drool
Giving me lots of great ideas for our new piggy pen build for after Christmas when we move house...themes for piggies just look great :(|)
 
Oh this is fantastic! Thank you so much for sharing, love their little house!
 
Oh what a beautiful house! Lots of inspiration!
 
Awwwwwwwwwwww how pretty it looks lovely :) x)
 
Very swanky :)) I bet they love it! It puts my piggies houses to shame!
 
This is so amazing! When I have my own place (whenever that may be!) I'm going to make a personalised house for my piggies too :D
 
Oh my god I am in love with this! When I move house I am going to treat my boys to something special like this. It's amazing! They even have windows & curtains! Haha
 
Where is the wooden house from? It looks a great size. Do you find the wood gets wee'd on alot?
 
Thanks for the lovely comments. The wooden house is from zooplus and I went for the Rabbit size as I wanted a large house for all 4 pigs to fit in! I was worried the door was too big and drafty so I made some curtains from a tea towel to make it smaller and cosier! The window had bars on but they chewed them off pretty quickly! I have just finished the upper level so here's a few pics...

My god it's amazing, I would live in it myself! Hahaha. My fellas need a new house, I will look into that....! X
 
Just seen your profile pic too, I have a silver agouti Rex it looks like 3 of my little Rodney's all lined up!
 
Can't see a house like yours on zoo plus now - the ones they have look like the entrance is too small, I have big boys!

Like your top house but mine like to sit on top of things & it looks quite high?
 
The zooplus one was this http://www.zooplus.co.uk/shop/small_pets/accessories/large_cabings_smallpets/wooden_houses/152471 - I went for the large one and then got a piece of dowel and draped the curtains over and glued in place over the door way. I put a piece of lino on the roof to make it more appealing to me and I didn't put the hay rack inside so they have more space. Because the top comes off it is really easy to fill up with hay. Also, it has no bottom which means I could put a garden tray for the base and put megazorb in it as they spend a lot of time in their house and I can just wip the tray out every couple of days and change the bedding. They love this house and all 4 pigs fit in with loads of room, even the chubby ones squeeze through the window!

The ramp is a large cat scratch post (also zooplus) with some wood nailed either side.
 
Aaaaahhh I see!! Thank you I think I may have to get me one of those! Er I mean get the boys one ;)

I was confused I didn't realise you could take the hay rack out.... So is it too high for them to jump on top of? The little house I mean?
 
Ooo very nice :) love the little curtain details and stuff

I have that wooden corner house (blue top). It is a good price for it's size
