Upgrade To A C&c Cage?

[Peanut&Butter]

My two piggies are currently housed in the Ferplast 120. They will be moving into a different room, and because they will have more space it only made sense to build a c&c cage. I was hoping to be able to fit a 5x2, but when I've measured only a 4x2 will fit in the space. Is it worth me upgrading to a 4x2 from a Ferplast 120?

-By the way, the girls will be able to have so much more floor time in their new room, but I want them to have as much space in their cage as they can because even with the best intentions, there will of course be days where they can't come out!-

yes a 4x2 is worth the extention.its the equivalant of 150cm/5 feet x 77cms,your piggies will appreciate the xtra room.good luck.please show some pics when you get time.

Thanks Eileen, I've been trying to do the maths but I've been so tired trying to buy everything to piggy-proof the room I just can't visualise it! Just excited to get the little critters home x

I would defo upgrade if I was you! I did exactly the same a few weeks ago and now it's a4x2 Aswell! I think it's well worth it!


Also I use the plastic coated grids I think this they look nicer to be honest and they are a lot cheaper!

Also I do have a igloo it's just not in this picture!

I also think it's worth the upgrade.
Plus if at a later stage you end up with a different space for your piggies, as C&C is easier to move around to fit into any space.
For example I wanted a really long cage for my 4, but we don't have the space for that so we have made an L shaped C&C instead.
Plus you can always add a loft, which doesn't count as floor space because not all piggies use it, but my 4 love their loft.

Thanks guys! My grids are due to arrive tomorrow, and I've found a local sign maker who is going to sell me some correx. I've not got grids etc to make a loft yet, but i figure I can add that at a later date. I'm sure they'd love one as they love jumping on top of their wooden house (or what's left of it, it has been demolished!) so they can have a nosey.

Looking forward to seeing how it turns out

I used my old cage to make a loft.

I used my old cage to make a loft.

Oh wow! I'm not sure how I would do that!
I'm thinking I will use the wire grids from my old cage to block areas off during floor time. Hoping I won't need it to keep them in if there poorly or anything... but if I do it's there!

My grids are due to arrive today and my dad kindly just picked up my correx from a local sign maker... Fleece is in the process of being washed a few times... can't wait to bring them home! (I'm taking them from my boyfriends grandparents who can no longer look after them)
