This is the left side of the cage. (3x5 main with a 2x3 'dungeon' [potty and hayroom])
The pink grids are the dungeon area. The grids are sturdy but slide out easy. The coroplast base also slides out for cleaning. You can see Daphne looking from the main area.

Thanks. I loved the IDEA of the hayroom, and the pigs LOVED it, but it was really really hard to clean. I was adding hay twice a day and cleaning it once a day because there wasn't a rack and they kept soling it. It was wasting so much that I ended up just taking it out and making a top level hayroom (in the 3x5) instead. Its still pretty messy because they drag the hay EVERYWHERE even now that it is in a bin AND in a rack. Silly pigs. I need to get new pictures next time I do a full clean.
Since the bottom was only 10in tall (dungeon floor to ceiling), I think that was the problem. If it were a normal grid size (14in+) it would be a lot easier. I defiantly recommend trying it out if you are planning on making it with just regular grids.
