C&C It's done! Yay!

Not sure what your question is about the extra grids. But as far as fleece burrowing goes, you can put bricks in the corners to keep them from digging or binder clip your fleece to the coro.

Nice job on the cage, your pigs are going to love it!!

Why do you need a cover for the cage?
Do you have a cat, dog, or kid?

I agree, if you dont have any other animals or kids, there is really no reason to have a cover. It is impossible for pigs to climb it

great job on the cage, and i think pink is cute for boys. lol

I have a kid and dogs so I need to cover it at least across the front. It will sit back against the wall and my cabinets will block sides. Sorry I wasn't clear in my post. I had actually typed it all out and then added pic and lost my whole post so I had to re-type. I would like to use my extra grids to cover cage. I can snap them in across the top front but it will be a pain getting piggies out and for cleaning having to snap them out and in. I'll check in to the bricks....I could put one in the corners and maybe on or two along the sides.

@Piggywiggly29, it's not impossible for pigs to climb. Boars are like expect rock climbers if they want to get out of the cage and in to ones with sows in, the only thing that stops them is a sturdy lid. Guineas are capable of climbing, it's just a rarity.
@Mistic811, If you have dogs and a young child it may be best if you can have the cage on a raised surface also. You can use closet shelving to make a lid which is much more sturdy than a grid lid, which should be a priority with other animals in the house. A closet shelving lid is also much more convenient. Your extra grids won't go to waste though! You can make hay racks, hideys, and other fun things out of them
As for fleece, you should have two sets (One in the cage, one in the wash, rotate, and repeat!), so if you haven't cut up your other set yet, cut it to the floor size PLUS the height of the coroplast walls. You can use binder clips to clip it to the coroplast, and that helps eliminate burrowing.

I will definitely be getting more fleece. I would like to clip it to coroplast, that would work nice. I think I'm gonna by a sewing machine. Lol I want to sew little pillows with my extra fleece pieces. I was also thinking of sewing all three layers together (2 uhaul and fleece) to make one solid blanket.

If you're handy with a sewing machine you could make fleece flippers. It's exactly what you described, but it has a piece of coroplast in the middle. Fleece, uhaul, coroplast, uhaul, fleece. They fit in the cage nice and snug (another good burrowing deterrent!), and if say, one area gets dirty, you just flip that one over to the clean side. It saves you having to do huge changes all at once.

ohh oh that sound interesting. I've have seen them on here but wasn't sure exactly how they were made. Can you wash them with the coroplast inside?

No, if you make one end similar to a pillow case opening (so you just fold it under when you put the flipper in the cage), you can remove it for washing

I get it. Cool beans! Thanks!!!!

It's all in place now. I'm gonna work on flippers for the bedding.
