Outside Play

[Alanas]

I have a huge bird avery in the backyard (no birds in it) and it is fully secure, it has shady areas and sunny areas and I think my piggies would love some time to run around in there. The only problem is that the ground of it is paved. Any suggestions as to what I can put down to make it cavy friendly?

Maybe put some fleece down to make it nice and soft? Or a large towel? A shower curtain might work too. You'd need to attach the fleece/towel/shower curtain to the edges of the avery so that it doesn't blow away.

Yeah, they should be fine on part of it cemented. Just put in a box with hay in it, and lay a piece of fleece down secured with bricks. That way they can get off of the cement if they want to! Lucky you! I wish i had something cool like that for mine to play in!! :0)

Okay I bought some carpet pieces, they are like fleece mats about 1 x 2 grids and layed them on the bottom of the avery, put my piggies in and after they explored they all started popcorning. They are so happy!

That's great! There's nothing more my pigs enjoy than being outside. It's getting cold here, so I'm going to have to cut down their "outside play" though.

I'm glad it's finally cooling off here, I can finally make my guys a playpen and bring them outside!
