I've got the cage completed (I'm not in love with the ramp, and will be working on it some more). I built a 2x4 with a 1x2 upstairs. I just put Lilly and Sadie in it last night, and when I got up this morning, they were hiding out in their litter box, in the upstairs 1x2. Will they stay like this? Or will they start to explore more and use their downstairs more?
Sadie (our black one) is still very skittish and HATES being caught and held...and she's very good about not getting caught. Lilly is okay with being picked up, kinda, but she likes to rumblestrut at me, and tries to nip at me at least once every time I hold her.
Also, I made them a little sleep sack type thing. I saw one at the pet store (and they wanted an exhorbitant amount of money for it!), and it gets chilly in the house at night (even in FL!), so I made them a sleeping bag this morning. The inside is flannel, the outside is cotton, and in between is a piece of mattress pad, so it's nice and cozy and thick. Has anyone else made/bought one of these for their piggies? And how did they like it?
I'll try to post with a pic of the entire cage in a little bit, but for now, here's a pic of their new sleeping bag/cozie.
