I can't wait to show you guys the new cage that has been put together. It has been some time since I moved the new guy into the cage with Snuffles and they are getting along great! Still I wanted to make the cage just a little bigger for everyone because they are growing boys and need the room. So after a long conversation and some extra hugs for the boyfriend I was able to expanded the cage from its once 6x3 (divided) to a now 6x4 (divided). Now each pair as a whole 4x3 space to run in! As soon as the boyfriend gets home with the camera I will post some pictures.

Awesome, can't wait to see the pictures! We just expanded our (needed to do the divide thing too, fighting boars, ugh!), anyways, I have one 4 X 3 and a 2 X 4 on top of that, hubby's not done yet, so he won't let me take pictures, he's doing the ramps today or this weekend hopefully, so I can't wait to post pics either. Jeez, the addiction just keeps rolling..........HA!

Looks super dooper. How come the coroplast is so high up. The other piggies cant see. You did a great job.

Click to expand...


It is up that high because Snuffles and Dread do not get a long and there will be much teeth chattering and fighting. Thank you for the compliment! The boys seem to love it

Very nice and seems like it would be easy cleaning as you got room to get all the way around it, or at least most of it! Looks great, I'm sure they all love it.

Its SO easy to clean and the boys actually use the hay bins the most so I don't have a lot free range poop. The hay bins have litter mixed in so it really helps with keeping the smell down.

Thank you all for the compliments!

So just a little update. Boy am I paying the price for expanding their cage. In a very good way though. They stay in the living room and at night we can never hear them from our bedroom. Until now. Now we are woken up through out the night with sounds of pigs running and hitting coroplast and wheeking happy noises of pigs in paradise. It is a wonderful sound to be woken up to I must admit.

Great Job!

What are you using for hay bins? Are those magazine files? I think it is an awesome idea!

The hay bins were holding up clearance folders at Joann Fabrics. I saw them sitting there and asked a lady that was working. She combined some of the folders so I could use the holders! I just covered them in contact paper, put some extra coroplast in the bottom (in all 4 hay bins) and filled with litter and hay! It is awesome

Speaking of litter I wanna try yesterdays news but I have a question, will both of the following work and if not which one will?
