Here is a photo of a C&C type cage that I made back in the summer last year. At the time I couldn't find any of the cubes so I used wire that I bought at Homebase for the sides :D With a bit of imagination and lots of cable ties, lol, this was the final product ;D Not a bad job and 100% piggy approved ;D

Oh no, that photo is way to big *blush* Just trying to sort it out now.......... I feel as though I've fallen into their cage with them when I look at that, lol!
 
Aww, that's lovely Wheekster! I am in the process of building a HUGE C&C cage for my boars, once that is done I will put up pigtures!

this is where my ladies live its their palace. They also have a run too. This picture was taken after i changed my bedding to vetbeds which are so much easier.
 
I am building a C&C cage at the moment for my piggies at my boyfriends house. It will prob be 5x2 with an upstairs for now. 6 piggies possibly couple of more will be living there. The others at my mums house are in cages and hutches. I will take pictures of them tomorrow :)
 
oooOOOooo, that looks lovely. Is the vetbed very easy to wash and look after? Does it get wet very quickly? I've often thought about giving it a go but I'm really not sure ?
 
i wash mine on day 5 and they are not wet on top but when oyu look underneath on the newspaper it is. it doesnt smell either. its easy and much quickier

Me too... I wanted to get some for when the piggies move into their C&C cage however it is very very pricey! Especially when I will need a lot of it. We also don't have a washing machine at my boyfriends house yet. We get our parents to do all our washing lol... so I wouldn't be able to wash it quick enough as they would need to go in something else while its washing.
 
Is it flexible enough to go in a washing machine easily? and does the hay and poops fall of easily before going in the washing machine? Sorry for so many questions its just I am very intrigued by it, lol.
 
Some lovely cavvy homes there! I am still trying to sort mine out but here is a latest pic of mine, and I have had no probs with it so far!
First pic is the cages they were in...

This was my 1st attempt for the boys..

At the moment I have this, but I need to re do it as I will have some more piggies soon. I figured that the boys spent 8 months living in a hutch above some females and still got on so for the time being (not for the long term so bare that in mind) , I put the girls on top but it has since been made into a 3x2.

yes the vets beds go easily in the washing machine. the hay and poo and stuff comes off with a little shake an dbrush. i know someone on ebay who does great vetbeds very thick too.

These are the hutches at the moment. We are considering buying a shed and kitting that out instead....we'll have to see!
This one is the girls' hutch. The girls are Hutch and Madness. The white part at the top folds down to reveal their bedroom.

100_1702.jpg




This one is the boys' hutch, they are Fiddles, Kong and Bumble. The bedroom is behind the blanked off bit of the left door, at the top.
100_1703.jpg




The hutches are in an enclosed 'alleyway' which is 9ft long, and the hutch ramps are left open so they can run around. We've recently put in a divider now the babies are over 3 weeks old. The pics are taken looking down.
Here is the girls' section (with some more space to the left of the pic)

100_1705.jpg




And here's the boys' section
100_1704.jpg



As you can see, I took these pics just as it's all ready for clean out! They aren't usually left in this mess!
 
Yeah! The shed's comin g on Friday. I'll take more photos when we are set up
 
thanks! bet yours LOVE all that extra space they've got now! And heating...wow! very posh, des res!

View from my couch! Elvis a single boar lives in the smaller pet shop cage and then in the top we have the sows(4) and the bottom live the boars(4).

Love your set up GPQ, i'm hoping to change to c&c this year or early next if i can talk my OH into it! We have a few space issues at the moment as we have 2 large pet shop cages that cannot go on top of each other so c&c would be lots more space effective.

Where did you get all the bits from? Is it easy to set up? Is it expensive? sorry for so many questions, just trying to work out how i can talk my OH into it! Any suggestions? :))
 
Here are my cages and hutches for my 5 piggies.

Nemo lives inside cos he's nearly 5 years old now and he's in a Nero 3 cage with stand.

Iggy - a sow - lives in a 3ft hutch but going to add the other 3ft hutch soon so she has more room. Ginger, a boar, lives in the 4ft hutch.
