Question Question on Altering My Alternative Cage

I made my girls an alternative style cage in woodworking a while back. I still use coroplast under the fleece and such. I have been considering adding a few things. Before they had the alternative cage they had a HUGE C&C cage so I have TONS of left over cubes.

I am considering adding a second level made of cubes. It would be a 2x2 or 2x3 on the side where the igloo is now. I would move the igloo to underneath the second story. I am also considering making a hay rack of some kind. They LOVE to play and burrow in it so I'd hate to take that away from them. I am going to build a coroplast hay area so they can have bedding under the hay instead of fleece because they quickly soak the fleece as it is.

If I didn't do that then I would flip the cubes to face the other way and make the second story a hay area which was bedded with fleece. Both pigs have used ramps and such and are fine with them so no problems there.

Any opinions please??

I will draw up some plans tonight and post them as well!
