Hi, I am Barb. I recently was given two really pretty girl pigs after the previous owner could not keep them after she got a divorce and the kids were split between houses. It was instant love at our house. Our house includes me, my husband (who insists he will not be a part of the pig madness), and 2 boys (6 and 4 years old.) The furry family includes 3 cats and a dog (all rescue). I did not want a guinea pig and I was not looking for a guinea pig, but I only have black and white pets and my friend kept posting pictures of her black and white pigs looking for a home and it was breaking my heart. Her post came up again and somehow my youngest found a picture of my friend and put it on my kitchen counter. This photo was probably 9-12 years old!! I took it as a sign and said I'd take the pigs..... I am now not sure why I did not take them sooner.
As a child, oh 20-25 years ago I had guinea pigs, lots of them. It all started with one, then the school pig came home for the summer and they had babies and I was so in love. I read a ton about them and felt that I was very knowledgeable about them. I know I do not remember it all clearly now, but I can say things have changed so much!!!!!
The girls came in larger store bought cage, which seems too small. And they were on carefresh which quickly tracked all over my house and caused instant insanity. I've switched them to fleece and towels/uhaul but it's just layered in there until I can build their new house.
Tomorrow my cubes are delivered and I will pick up my corrugated plastic from home depot. I am quite excited. Today I scored some fabulous deals at Joanns and I have a very busy weekend of sewing.
I'd love to hear you thoughts on lofts/second stories; yes or no? And why? Is it hard to clean under them?
What did you do with your C&C cage that you loved? or hated?
I plan to make a 2x6 or 2x4 possibly with a loft. It needs to have a lid too. I will need to clean it from the narrow end at the far side as it will slide nicely into a recessed wall in the house. What design seems to make sense to you the most?
Here are my girls and my biggest boy
