If I haven't been around much over the last few days - here is the reason why!
We have moved the whole piggy outfit to the other end of the room (finally sacrificing hub's unused, but so far taboo dining table) and rearranged everything. In the process, I also rebonded Cariad and Ceri with Bryn and Ffowlyn since Tegyd went on to bully Ceri after Ffowlyn's departure; that has worked well for both groups and peace is reigning once again!
I use a lino offcut as new underlay:
And the result:
Here are some details:
The Troop's cage has remained basically the same apart from new polar fleece. It is now lived in by Bryn, Ffowlyn, Ceri and Cariad. Bryn is a very rumbly happy husboar with a very dirty nose!
The correx tray lifts off for easy poo patrol cleaning. The two little "bedrooms" under the ramp are always popular!
The big Tribe cage has still got the old big dormitory (which will get an extra "door". I use the old walk-in 100x50cm cage (minus flap) as a new hay tray to make up for the loss of the tv cabinet hay corner.
The new/old Trio (consisting of Taffy, Tegyd and Terfel) has got a perfect stand in the form of £30 Ikea table. They are still due a new safe mezzanine arrangement (hopefully re-using an old correx tray) curtesy of hub. Thanks to Sue G for the wonderful fleece bed throws for this cage that are just the right size and colour!
We still have to make a few tweaks, and hub has promised some more wooden furniture, but so far the piggies as well the humans are all chuffed with the result - and the humans are enjoying having their half of the living room back!

lucky piggies. You and hub have worked extremely hard and deserve a pat on the back! xx

But the other one is just curious and wants to play with everything! I still would never let him try to play with them though just in case the predator in him kicked in, heaven forbid I have a wounded piggy (or kitty).:0
