Ok, last week I converted a big bookcase into a cage for my piggies (two boars), now I think that it isn't big enough (8sq ft) so here is the new cage proposal.
About 2 1/2 ft away from my bed is the wall, this is where their cage is now. I was thinking if I take their cage out, put gridding along the side of my bed so they can't get under there, and around the gap between the bed and my wardrobe, it will build a nice enclosure for them.
Total cage size will be 17 sq ft!
I have a feeling my pigs will be happy with that....
Just one thing though - I will have to start using fleece. Can you use layers of newspaper and fleece directly over carpet, as long as you clear it out regularly ( my pigs are litter trained so it shouldn't be too stinky).Otherwise it's going to cost me a fortune and correx is hard to find in the uk where I live.
