Hi everyone, I'm thinking about the ferplast 100 or the 120.
As I'm getting two piggies and I'm a new be at this ,I want to get every thing ready, so I'm collecting bits at a time.
Any thoughts on this , thanks guys.
 
Hi I would say the biggest the better so definitely go for the 120. also, lots of floor time and run in the garden to get a bit of exercise :)
 
In my honest opinion neither is really big enough for two pigs, a 120 is just under what i would call minimum, the best ones for store bought cages are 140 or 150, haver you considered making your own C&C cage? Something like this is thought to be good for two piggies!

 
If you're choosing between 100 and 120 I'd definitely say go for 120 too. When we got our first two piggies they were briefly in a 100 cage given to us by a neighbour but the difference when we moved to a 120 was amazing. Who would have thought that 20cm would make such a difference!

A couple of other things toconsider - a younger piggie although smaller actually probably needs even more room than an older one so they can run around and play (although I wouldn't dream of getting a smaller cage for older piggies either).

Don't think a double storey cage will give more room - I thought that would be the case but I hadn't realised not all piggies like ramps and, of course, you can't stop them both being downstairs, taking up the room, at the same time.

I'm about to build a c&c cage for the first time having had a double ferplast 120 that I "modified" by putting te two levels side by side rather than on top of each other (which has worked really well by the way).

I'd agree that a 4x2 c&c cage is a great size for 2 piggies if you can fit it in (each grid is approx 36cm x 36cm). It is also a good bit cheaper than a ferplast cage.
 
Sorry and if you really want a shop bought cage, nothing wrong with that at all and I'd also agree if you can to go for a 140 as even better than a 120. Happy choosing!
 
Thanks guys, lots more for me to think about now, I will go and look at the bigger cage.
By the way loved the C&C cage don't know if I'm smart enough to do that .

I will let you into a little secret I haven't shared with anyone on this forum yet - I actually bought grids to make a c&c cage a while ago but when they arrived and I started building I was so impressed with how sturdy they were and how easy they were to build that this happened instead:

I agree when I first saw C&C cages they looked far too complicated for me! But after reading some step by step guides it actually seems pretty simple! You get to design it how you want as well which adds to the fun. Plus many youtube videos could get you through it step by step.

If you go with shop bought, the bigger the better really.
Good luck with whatever you decide! :)
