Hi
I'm about to get 3 piggies as their owners are moving overseas so I'm cramming up on learning what I should do. They'll come with a cage but it's quite small so I've bought some cubes and I'm in the process of building something larger. As I live in a mild climate (Sydney) where it never gets very cold I'm planning on having them live outdoors, but under cover and sheltered. What I want to do is have 2 cages, one 5 by 2 with coroplast for living in and another similar size one which will be on the grass. What I want to do is somehow join these 2 cages up so they can have freedom as to choose where they want to be but I'd rather it not be with more cubes but with some kind of tunnel that can be easily removed when not in use - it would need to be about 10 feet in length. Has anybody done something like this, what did you use, how wide would the tunnel need to be, would the piggies use it. Also any feedback on whether you do think that keeping them outdoors is ok - the winter nights tend to be a minimum of 8C or 46F. This is how they've been kept for past 12 months.
