Ooh fleece shopping

That's going to be cosy with all that celotex. Messy stuff to cut isn't it? I bet your garden looks like winters come early

have you got any pics of your shed set up? I only ask because we got our piggies just over a week ago and they live in a summerhouse so I like seeing other shed setups. I picked up some lovely cheap fleeces in Ikea last week for only £1.75 each :-) They washed really well. This photo was taken yesterday looking through the window!

 

[xxaimeexx]

That looks a brilliant setup, I like the fence on the right hand side! I am still working on the insulation but it's at the last step before the pigs can go in(I will post photos when they're in). I bought my fleeces from asda. £1.75 sounds amazing value! I love Ikea! Can I ask what you use to secure the water bottles in there?

 

[pigmumsar]

My husband and son are very proud of their fence, although hubby drilled into his finger when making it and my son was quite shaken up seeing it happen, then my husband fainted and hit his head on the kitchen floor! A very dramatic 5 minutes but they were both ok afterwards and we are pleased with the fence

Regarding the water, we originally attached a small piece of sapling tree protector mesh (cheapest netting I could find in the garden centre!) but the bottle kept falling off and slipping down to the floor and it was useless. My husband ended up making a simple holder from wood attached to a waterproof kitchen tile. It's been brilliant so far and both piggies can drink at the same time. Smartie jumps all over the back of it and it hasn't toppled yet - maybe this will change as they get bigger though?! For now it's a perfect solution.

Here's a sneak peak of my new setup! The piggies have officially moved in! Sorry about the lack of pictures- it's so dark so early! I tried to get a picture today but it's not very good. More to follow though! P.S. the box is temporary until I get some shelves!

How do you spell peek is it peek or peak! I suddenly have no idea!

 

[BossHogg]

Both! peek is have a look, and peak is top of a hill or mountain.

 

[xxaimeexx]

I eventually worked it out! I meant peek!

 

[Chief Guinea Pig]

Looks great

Looks great

The piggies seem a bit freaked out by the open space! But they will get used to it!

 

[BossHogg]

I'm forever opening my shed to find the piggies camped out in the rabbit's hutch whilst the rabbits are out on the lawn!

 

[pigmumsar]

It looks brill. I like the little table in the middle!

 

[xxaimeexx]

Thats from ikea years ago! Its good along with the other stool thats under the big box, to sit on for a cosy laptime!
