I live in Japan (originally from the UK) and hoping to get some rescue piggies as soon as we have our own home (hopefully this year). I’m starting to think about housing. I’ve found a small outdoor run and was considering using it as their indoor cage (with fleece underneath, probably on top of a waterproof mat). The size of the run I have found is 4cm too small on length BUT 49cm longer in width, making it 116cm x 109cm. Do the extra 4cm matter for length, or will it be compensated by width?
choices for large enough enclosures here in Japan are sparse, even people here rarely have enough room!
I was thinking I could also potentially extend the length a little using the grids everyone seems to use. I just wanted to have a lid because I have young children (don’t worry they won’t be the carers, that will be my job).
I’ll also need to add a hah rack, bed/house, water bottle, some toys etc.
Talking about bedding, can I use organic cotton fleece? Or does it need to be polyester? We try to be as plastic free as possible.
