Hi there,
I stumbled onto this site about a year ago, and thought the cage ideas were just too neat! At the time I didn't own any piggies but in a years time I did. Sadly I lived in a studio apartment and did not have the room for a c&c cage. Well my lease is finally up, and now I live in a one bedroom!! I happen to have two closets, one of which is a little walk in right across from a window. ( no room for a big cage anywhere else)
Thinking I could make a huge cage to fit into the little walk in closet space, my plan was suddenly crashed. The 2 X 6 cage I was going to make is not going to work. I can only fit a 2x3 cage, and with 5 piggies this is not enough space. I need suggestions!
Now sorry if I sound all over the place, but as I mentioned I do have two closets. I thought the one closet would be perfect because the doors fold out and they could have some natural lighting, but because of the space situation I am now not so sure. My other closet is the length of my room (about 13 feet) but these doors slide so piggies wont get natural light (i'm not sure if this matters if I provide lighting for them) What do you think I should do? If I use the huge closet they get length but no sun, but if I do walk in closet they dont get a big enough cage.
I also am separating the boys and girls so I would be making a two story cage with dividers.
I also cannot find coroplast anywhere so I went to Home Depot for look for some vinyl.. but could only find a little square foot.. Is this what you do? hook the sqare feet together to make the flooring?
Let me know and thanks for your help (i'm sure I'll have alot more questions later on!!)
