WOW that looks fantastic, I am making one shortly, not got that much room though, I bet they love it.
 
Thats a brilliant cage, your piggies are so spoilt :))
 
Oh they totally love it, I change it every few weeks so they dont get bored of it. I'm hoping to put an upper level on in the future but that needs to wait until I get correx.

Thankfully I have a big flat as I live above a shop so they can have alot of space to explore and cause mischief.


Sharon - the cages are really easy to make - B&Q are currently doing a really good deal on the cubes, one box makes a good sized cage. Be careful if you run out of connectors though as if you dont use enough cable ties they canw get out, as two of mine managed!

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.

Hi,

It would be worth contacting your local rescue to see if they can get it for you. I run a rescue in Bristol and have access to a wholesalers and can get vet bed 10m x 0.5 m for under £100

This is the current set up I have for my four ladies. It seems to change every month. But at the moment I have a nero 4 base which they jump in and out of, sleep in etc then wire cubes around the edge with newspaper and fleece on the floor with a variety of cuddle cups and pigaloos.

I need to invest in some correx to make cleaning out easier but at the moment they are loving the fleecey floor and the space to run around in.

Well I have been having a change around and have re-adapted my cage layout, yet again. This seems to be working much better and keeps the mess to a minimum at one end of it rather than over all the fleeces. Since this picture was taken I have also moved away from the sawdust after advice from other members, and so they have a fleece base which has gone down a treat.

wow these are some impressive piggie houses! Tallulah is eagerly awaiting her run which is meant to turn up in the post today.

its a puppy pen ;) it will section off part of the living room and she will have lots of toys etc to play with.

whe its al set up ill put piccis on here.:))
 
I'm seriously jealous and so is Nibbles who is squeaking loudly on my lap!
I have one of the Nero's indoor cages and an outdoor hutch complete with ramp and run sourrounding it.

Does anyone know where i could get a cheap covered run. Its just I'm worried about the neighbour hood cats getting my piggies!

I don't know what is cheap to you but if you want versitility then I have a play pen which comes with a net for covering the roof outside it is one metre square but if you use a wall as one of the sides it can be made much bigger.

It was from p@h it is made by boredom breakers so if you search for it **** could get it cheaper.

It's not on website but they have another from Savic (think they are makers on nero cages) this one is bigger than mine but £34.25 (**** around same price)

Sorry shoudl have said as it comes apart into four sections I use it in my lounge every day & it fits in my coat / shoe closet by front door which is not deep enough to fit a pair of size 5's!

Here's some pictures of the hutch I had built. It's strictly for indoor use, which is why there's no insulation or anything.

From the front:

The total size of the cage is 5 feet by 2 1/2 feet, with 2 feet of headroom, which I think should be more than enough. And of course all of these pictures were taken before the guinea pigs took up residence... it's now a lot messier.
 
i feel awful now lol my piggies only have a hutch, with a bunch of bunny hutches, they do have a run but i cant use it due to the weather recently, i cant bring them in doors due to mouse repellers poor things
 
I have finally settled on a layout for my piggies that I like! :<>

Dexter lives in the hutch and Fry lives in the run underneath. :) They had to be seperated because of fighting, but they like being in the same room.

Dexter's little living room (you can't see his bedroom, I can't get a wide enough angle!)


Both the boys cages-


If you turn your head sideways and squint a bit, you can see Fry's cage better. I can't figure out how to flip it round, sorry!


I'll try and kidnap the camera to get some better photos. =]
 
well my spare room went from this

Oh bless becky...look at the little piggywig having a nose hehe...so I take it you have replaced your c&c with another nero then?..or have you had some new piggies in an extra cage?....I like what you'd done with raising them on the work surface

Well yeah the c&c kinda cage is going to used more for an emergency or temporary cage, seeing as Hels has amazing powers of persuation :))
 
I am more of a fan of the nero then c&c cages....I have one that I made etc and added to it...I ended up buying two packs of the cubes and it was a hassle getting the correx home I decided it was less hassle to spend the money on a nero and wish I had of started with them in the first place...I think I will replace my c&c with another one...and a couple of stands

I love this set up. Do you still put the piggies in a seperate run for "run time"? mind you this cage is huge, so they could have a good run around this, as there so much space.
 
Just wanna post my C&C cage set up :(|) I have my 2 piggies in this (well sort of... my neutored boar lives in this at the moment and my possibly pregnant sow joins him for closely supervised playtime at the moment before retireing to her own Nero 3 when we can not watch them both). They will both be in this together just as soon as the Sow is past her due date and the pups, if any, have arrived.

apologies if the quality isn't great, they are off my phone ....

That's a five star piggy hotel by the looks of things!

You're living room (if that's what it is) seems to be about the same size as ours, I've already showed my OH this picture 100 times in an effort to get him to agree to a big C&C set up for my boys down here!
 
Keep up the nagging Batgirl, its deffinately worth it! The pigs LOVE it so much, its great to see.

Our living room is not huge and it still fits OK. :))
