Ohhh, thank you!!! I would love to use the black tubing, but I'm afraid Mr. Pigg's rear end might get stuck. But he's used to the 6" tubing, as we use it for floor time. Does the black tubing happen to come in 6" as well??? That would be sooo perfect! I had no idea that they wouldnt leave their little gifties in the tunnel, they are anything but litter trained, and I thought they'd leave them everywhere! Spraying it down sounds perfect though; simple & fool-proof
I think we'll make the 2" box... sounds like the best idea, since they can still see out alright, but our sofa should be safe then.
We've had another brainstorm... it'll take us a few weeks to finish it, but we're going to turn the entire piggie cage & their table into a castle! My husband is really getting into it! So they'll still have their 2x5 on the bottom, but on each end they'll have a 1x2 "turret" to play in above that. Like this:

Another thing we found that we really liked was the idea of a "hay room." We're thinking that might be a cool idea to add underneath one of their turrets... they love to play in their hay, but right now they only get a huge mountain of it during floor-time. They would LOVE this!
And I'm going to finally get off my tush & make their table a cover. (we've been using an old bedsheet) Gonna use some leftover brocade, and a navy velvet with some gold braid & tassels. Since our living room has a medieval theme, this should be awesome! I'm just wondering now if we should spring for new mesh walls... that'd be sooo cool, but I don't want to sacrifice visibility for aesthetics. Gonna talk to DH about that one & see what he thinks
Wow, we haven't had this much fun with our piggies since we first brought Junior home... almost a year ago!
