I have been thinking for a while that I need something new for the piggies downstairs part of their cage. As they were growing up I had a wooden house that they fitted in that they liked but now they are all pretty much full grown they don't use it much-they still fit inside but its a bit of a squeeze! :))
I bought one of the new savic tunnel/house things this one but it takes up a lot of room in their cage because of its weird shape.
I was looking about but figured I may as well ask on here. Their current wooden house is 26cm long so it needs to be bigger than that. Any ideas? I have seen some gorgeous things on eBay but don't want to spend more than £15-£20 really.
Thanks :)
 
I always think a plastic upside down dog bed offers a wide verity of benifits, it add's extra space on top and a bed underneath.

You may of already seen these already but I make Piggy Pods (House / tunnel) May be the sort of thing they'd like ? My piggies love them and had great feedback from customers :)

I use fleece forests for hideys :) A new invention I came across a few weeks ago.

You basically take some scrap of fleece, cut it into long length and tie it to a grid or wire top and let it hang down. This gives them somwhere to hide without taking up floor space. My boys seem to feel comfortable in them. And they are cheap :D
 
Not to forget, they love shoes boxes etc and they can be thrown away and replaced when they get tatty.
 
Similar to the fleece forests, but even easier, I just attach a small piece of fleece across a corner of the cage with some clothes pegs and let it hang down. Some of the pigs use it like a tent to sit under, but it can also be sat on top of or even arranged and used as a pillow!
 
Mine adore these i think they were nicknamed fleece jungles on the american cavie site, i have them in all my set ups and i usually find at least 2 piggies snuggled under it..great way to use scraps of fleece, especially if you can't cut straight like me!
