thanks i did it in about 2 days ready for todds arrival,a lot of blood,and sweet went into it especially when attaching the new door to the front as i had to cut through the bars then file them down but i think it looks great and I'm on the look out for another ferplast 140 that i can buy@)if anyone has one please PM mexx
 
Looks fabulous hun I'll keep my eyes open for one for sale up this way.
 
aww,I'm sooo glad it's come to good use, i bet debs is gutted she didnt do this! maybe if you could buy them second hand, you could convert them and sell them to your piggies new parents? obviously sell at with a profit of all of the products you used. you'll get extra money for the forum, plus you know what your piggies will move into! i'd buy one off you!
 
I think it look fab and is a great way of giving the piggies more space!
 
ive just brought another one and it arrives monday 40 pound ive payed for it then 35 pounds for DHL to collect it has its coming from essex, i will use this one for ralphie and his ladies instead of there nero 4 xx
 
Love your cage!:)):)) How much floor space is there?
I've a zooplus2 which Patch has been in since being neutered (he's going into the new piggy cage with the sows soon)
You can't modify the zoozone 2 really so it'll be used as a back up / hospital cage.

(This is my 750th post!:)):)))
 
i dont know about floor space hopefully someone will tell you but the cage is 5ft long by 2ft wide each shelf is 15inch by 26inch hope some one can convert itmallethead:(|)
its poss to convert nero 3 and nero 4 as i have done the same with mine all my rescues will soon have second levels in there cages but these will only have 1 shelf where as the ferplast has 2 xx

So so pleased for Todd, I can just imagine how pleased he is. After an awful start in life he is in heaven. I am pleased I will be able to hear how he gets on. Thanks for giving him a great home. Layla

PS I have more white guineas now.....
 
Instructions please

Hey, can I have instructions and material you used as well please. I'm wanting to do the same.....looks fabulous. Please Please Please Please Please

Ta muchly in advance Lil x
 
I'm sure she won't....I've collecting a load of stuff for her car boot to help raise funds....besides I've been scratching my head about how I was going to do it. Plus and this is a bit naughty Kayserberg who manufacture Correx is one of my company's customers...and well I'm gonna be cheeky and ask if I can get some for free? I work on the basis, "don't ask, don't get".

;)
 
What a great idea. This is a photo of one half of my cage. The other half is the same with the narrower part being at the opposite side. I took off the ramps and put the grass houses there instead. They get to the shelves via them. Do you think a tunnel would be a good idea as a way over from one shelf to another? If so how did you make it? I'm thinking it will be another added interest for them.
