I still have the cage that Mable's previous owners kept her in and the cage that Chicken and Waffles' previous owners kept them in; I use them as temporary cages for when I do a full cage change. The pigs are only in them for 30 minutes while we change out the cages, but they manage to pee everywhere in them. Tonight, I was measuring those 2 cages to make a liner for them so the pigs wouldn't have to be on wet newspaper when I do a full cage change out.
I was shocked at how small they actually are! The one that used to be Mable's is only 16 inches wide and 28 inches long; by the time I made the liner for it with those dimensions, it looked like the liner should be in a cat carrier instead of an actual cage! The one that used to be Chicken and Waffles' cage was even smaller at 13 inches wide and 24 inches long.
I feel guilty my pigs even had to spend part of their lives in cages like that; I know that they were all housed like that before I got them. Those are just insanely small. Especially for Chicken and Waffles; the two of them lived in that cage together for 4 months before we got them.
I hate knowing that some animals have to spend their whole lives in those dinky, ridiculous little cages :sad:
