Hi everyone,
I’m thinking of upgrading Percy and Peppers house. They currently live in the garage. There are a few reasons for this:
1. It’s killing my back cleaning out the bottom level. I have a back issue that will not be getting any better. Probably worse.
2. It would give them more space
3. If I put the new hutch on a table I could store their hay etc underneath to save space in the garage too.
BUT
I’m really scared that it could upset their bond. They get on absolutely fine but I know how fragile the bond can be. It would break my heart if they didn’t get on anymore. I have had four single piggies in the past and really don’t want that again. At the moment sometimes one will be upstairs and one downstairs. So they can choose their own space. If I get a single storey hutch they would always be together. That might annoy them. Obviously I would put in two “bedrooms” at either end. Also there are two bowls for nuggets, two water bottles and two separate piles of hay. But in a single hutch I wouldn’t really want to clutter it up with too much. Am I over thinking this? Should I just leave them be? Or just do it?
Also what would be the best single storey hutch to get? Recommendations welcome.
Cheers everyone
