Yeah, but no room!

 

[daleksarah]

really you need 2 cages or a really big cage for 5sows.with c&c you could make a second level in the cage

 

[flintstones]

Do you have 5 in that one cage?

You could do something like this but it does take up loads of room same idea as c & c.

If space is a problem, Then sarah has a good idea to make more than one floor like a tower block sort of thing?

If you don't have the room to go out I think the only alternative is to go up. I've got the 2 storied one for my 2 girls and I worry its not big enough for them.

And how much did it cost?

 

[elle100]

As far as I remember about £140 give or take.

Dear me!

I admit, i've got the money, but i don't want to blow it all on that!

try ebay for cheap cages

Like I said when you can't go out the way you have to go up the way. Space is a premium in my house so up I had to go. What price happy healthy pigs?

 

[Joey&Gizmo]

Did you mean you have 5 sows in one cage or 5 sows split into two cages?

I think that the second cage that modwyn posted it quite good value for money. Or buy 3 larger cages and maybe stack them if that will work? Or buy a two storey hutch as you can keep a hutch indoors.

Lisajazz has a C&C cage that is a tower this was her thread

How much space have you got? I got two packs of C&C on eBay for £40 including P&P, if you live near a CostCo you can get them for A LOT less.

Well i'll work on mum.

Well i'll work on mum.

I would if I were you, they are very good and so easy to adapt to the space you have. I wish I hadn't bothered with an indoor cage (although the one i have is very very good) and just went straight for the C&C, it was only because i didn't know about them that I didn't start off with C&C, they work out much cheaper too.

I know.

What kind of thing did you want for your girls? 5 altogether do need quite alot of space - as much as possible and all 5 in that tiny little cage they must be very cramped up and not able to run or anything.

I would definitely work on your mum if I were you. Explan the cage you have is just about okay for 1 guinea not for 5 and that you want to give them more space. I have 6 girls in my big cage and they do have alot of space. If you don't have enough room for a 4 x 2 grid space think of a 3 x 2 one with 3 floors. C&C Cages do take thought and time to put together, you'd definitely need help to do it (I have my husband helping me). BUT they are cheap and flexible - you can change them if you end up with more or less or need to seperate them for any reason. They really are worth it. And as many people have said you can build up if you don't have lots of floor space, that way they get room and can run around and popcorn about and stuff.

I'm so pleased you've come to ask about expanding and been honest about the way they are right now. It's brilliant you realise that it needs changing. If you need any more ideas come back and ask!
