After all my posting about wanting the Trixie Rabbit 150, I did manage to get two (bf went to Milton Keynes for me) and although they aren't the colour I initially wanted, I am very happy with them (and the colour!).

PS; Is it just me or does Photobucket take AGES!?
 
I liked this cages, i was not able to decide which type of cage do i buy but this gave me a good idea and now i will be going for shopping. I will be posting picture of my cage soon, just have to find one that i have thought of.
 
Looks fab, they're a brilliant size and yeah, photobucket can sometimes take an eternity!

I NEEEEEEEEEEEED some of that fleece with the oh so cute lions on, where is it from? Its so lovely!

looking good hon! Loving the fleeces and those cute piggie noses!

PS photobucket takes sooooo long you might as well go shopping while it is uploading
 
Love them! Well done you.

How are they all finding the new cages?
 
Good job you got them when you did. I went into Jollye's in MK yesterday and they'd put the price up to £109.99! They look very good by the way!
 
Forgot to say, the trays are quite deep in the 150 cage and it makes it hard for little piggies to reach their water bottles. I made some little cages out of spare weldmesh ......................

And then you can drop the bottle in it and hook it onto the bars, thus the bottle hangs at the right height for little people!

The cages look great and perfect for making lofts in. Looks like you made the right choice. Happy looking pigs too. x

They were £99.62 or something completely random, from Jollyes in Milton Keynes (they have other branches but not all of them stock this cage) but as Mackers has said, they have since put the price up by about £10. Although they are still cheaper from here than other places, I've seen them as expensive as £158 each. The man from MK Jollyes was very helpful. I rang many many times asking questions. They measured the boxes for me so I could check the car etc. They come in a box as a pack of two to the store so they left them like that for me so they were easier to transport etc. Very pleased with Ricky (the store manager!).

Thank you both :) All of my fleeces are from the kids bit in the home section of Sainsburys (apart from the big beige with paw prints which are on some older photos, thats a pet fleece from Dunelm). Sainsburys are a bit pricey (up to about £7 per fleece) but I got the pink flowers on sale and I think the skull and cross bones was cheaper. They have a green with dinosaurs that I really want rolleyes need to stop! I really like their designs.

I'm loving them! Definately less poo on the floor! LOL! Although for cleaning, its a bit tricky. Well not the cleaning, its more putting the inco pads/fleeces back in. I actually get in the cages :red to tuck them in etc. But its ok :)

The cages are tall, plenty of loft room :) I just haven't got round to doing it yet ") I keep saying I will. Today might well be the day!

Excellent idea! Thanks for the photos. The base is deep. My little ones can reach but have to sort of climb up a bit to reach.
 
I have to say, that bottle holder is genius - the perfect solution for little guineas in a deep plastic cage. The cage in general looks like a plush piggy pad, it's really nice and CLEAN!
 
 
I love the dinosaur one! Looking at the rest of their stock, wouldn't it be cool to have your piggies peeing all over Zac Efrons face? I would kinda see some warped humour in that...

HAHAHAHAHA! That would be funny!

They have Toy Story ones in store too.

I'll be in fleece rehab soon.
