Slap it is so funny that to read this post and see your cage. about two days ago Jeff and I were sitting ont he sofa watching the girls and talking about the second story. Then he says, "And 3 and 4 and so on!" I said, "Oh no two is fine." Do tell us about how they like going up and down and all around. I am going to be a good girls get all my study notes done before this evening so we can work on our cage this weekend. Keep fingers crossed.

Judy that is funny! You should do it!

It took four packages of 23 cubes and one package of 17 cubes to complete, and four sheets of coroplast.

Slap what I think is so funny is how so many of us seem to be doing the same thing or at least pondering it. I have been good and gotten much of my school work done. Time for a break and then hopefully have it all finished today. I really want to see the 6 of them going up and down the ramp!! I have noticed that even though my cage meets the size requirements, they need some more get away from each other space. I have made one part nothing but a kitchen so they have lost some ground room. We want to get my daughter's pig asap so we must get on the ball.

Bailey, do you have to stand on a chair to clean the upper level? That is one humongous cage you have there. Looks nice, but has to be a pain to clean.

Yeah, I do have to stand on something, usually a chair to clean the upper level. I can get to it to put the pigs up there, but this cage is taller than me and I am 5'8.5''.

Wow. I wouldn't be able to clean either of the top two levels because I am only 5' 1 1/2" tall.

I am assuming you put stickers on the coroplast? It's looking really neat. Again, nice cage, I really like it.

I love it! I'm also pondering redoing my cage yet again but I'm just not quite sure what I'm going to do. I'm thinking something similiar to yours. I'm lucky that I'm almost 6 feet tall but when I had my last cage that high, I even needed a chair to reach a few of the corners.

Slap, they are all over it. We watched them this morning while eating breakfast and it is so wonderful. 5 were upstairs and Jenny was down and she went nuts running back and forth like a streak of lightening. Moving the hay area and the main pellet dish upstairs has freed all the area down. They were so crowded and getting very cranky with each other. I had taken an entire cage and filled it with nothing but food, hay, water, and litter boxes. They lost an entire 24" x 48" cage. They have it back now!
