What To Do About Cage

[CarnivalPiggy]

So as my dad is probably not letting me let the piggies free range in an old room, I'm going to see about letting them somewhat free range in my bedroom, but it will fill to crowded if I put a ramp up. Is there anything I could do here to make it less crowded? (Sorry for mess)

 

[Flutterby]

Could you make a ramp that folds or flips back up once you are done with it, or detaches?

 

[CarnivalPiggy]

I guess. I have a wooden ramp that I can use hooks with

It's more of how I'll have space than anything else.

 

[CarnivalPiggy]

Also, is there any way to block things off without using grids? I don't want to crowd the room with them.

 

[Flutterby]

Hmm I'm not sure. You could have one that goes in front of the wardrobe doors from a hole in the side of the cage?

 

[Chief Guinea Pig]

Yeah try for the flip ramp, attached with hinges. Could you use a net? Wouldn't take much to put over the objects you want kept away. Hehe odd sock on the floor, love it

 

[CarnivalPiggy]

I'll try it later, thanks

Edit; whoops didn't see your post CGP. Hehe yep, socks everywhere at times lol

 

[Chief Guinea Pig]

Obviously a teenie weenie holed net. Don't want heads and claws stuck lol

 

[CarnivalPiggy]

Do you think the green net that goes on those metal runs would be okay?

 

[Flutterby]

It depends on how big the holes are? Do you already have a net?

 

[Chief Guinea Pig]

Do you think the green net that goes on those metal runs would be okay?

Hmm. Have you got a photo?

 

[CarnivalPiggy]

Sorry for the late reply!

I did it and the piggies don't bother with the net Still working on blocking gaps and them from lifting the net up though. Advice on that please?

 

[Flutterby]

That ramp looks great!

 

[CarnivalPiggy]

Thanks!

 

[Chief Guinea Pig]

Hmm. You could use double sided sticky tape to attach under the desk, of which the hem of the net can slot to. As the sticky tap would be under the desk you wouldn't see it. I like the ramp. It's a good level of steepness too! x

 

[Flutterby]

The net is very clever too!

 

[CarnivalPiggy]

Thanks both of you! It's more of them slipping under rather than over though

 

[Chief Guinea Pig]

Rofl I wasn't sure if it'd work and clearly it has. Was a stab in the dark that idea but I'm pleased I told you about it now x

 

[Flutterby]

Do you have any booked you can place over the edge of the bottom temporarily? Only thing I can think of is something heavy for now.

 

[Chief Guinea Pig]

A thin plank of wood along the carpet?

 

[Chief Guinea Pig]

Ooh you could use Velcro, but you'd have to be willing to stick it to your carpet!

 

[CarnivalPiggy]

I swear you two are full of creativity

I'll try the plank of wood and the books for now. And yep, I didn't think about the net before you said it!

 

[Chief Guinea Pig]

Haha why thank you

 

[Kerrie74]

Mind if I ask why you want them free range? I'm not picking fault btw! I just think your cage is a brilliant size! so I was just curious.

 

[CarnivalPiggy]

Aha it's ok!

I just love giving them more room and that's pretty much it to be honest heh.

 

[CarnivalPiggy]

Also, I tried


And Minja's getting comfy in this thing on the floor

 

[Chief Guinea Pig]

Haha it looks fine! and look at that chooken and botty

 

[CarnivalPiggy]

Thanks! And I just got reminded of that money insurance advert on TV with the man in shorts when I saw your post for some reason.

Though, I don't think the wood is strong enough not to move, so I might just have to use books for the time being

 

[Chief Guinea Pig]

Lol The man that waggles his behind at Sharon Osborne?

Ah I can see that being a problem with the wood looking light and all...

 

[CarnivalPiggy]

Yep to both
