Re: Excited

Not coroplast. I''m using a thick plastic table covering at the moment. I'll be adding 4 extra grids at a later stage,so then i'll use the coroplast.

Re: Excited

Good idea. I noticed that you have the cage near a radiator, is it ok for the piggys? Im only asking because I would like to make a C & C cage but the only large space I have is near a raditor in my living room, they live in a nero 4 cage at the moment and im doing my research to make them a C&C cage but didint know where to place it as I have limited space. There current cage is on a stand so its easy.

Re: Excited

The room is south facing so i don't use the raditor. If the room gets cold in winter then it's easy to move the cage to the other side of the room.

You are so funny! But I'm the same way, it's crazy , I did the same thing when my hay/pellets arrived from Sweet Meadow!! Do you make cuddle cups? I see that you make everything else?

Re: Excited

The day before yesterday my order of timothy hay arrived. My piggies never tried it before so i was so happy to be able to offer them the timothy instead of the excel.
But they didn't like it Have to hunt down some medow hay now.

Yes i made 2 cuddle cups but they turn them upside down and either hide under them or sit on top of them. I try to make what ever i can. Next project is a fleece and pipecleaner twisty tunnel.

Re: Excited

Nice job! One thing I can't tell - do you have the grids zip-tied? If not, I'd suggest doing so to prevent piggie hijinks from possibly popping a grid out.

LOL at the thought of you popcorning for the mailman!
