Hi everyone,
I have a couple questions for those who have built a custom wood cage before. I have two pigs, a female and a male. Daisie is 7 and Spike is going on 2. I am keeping them separate currently and will continue to do so for the obvious reason. The problem is while their set ups are within about 5 inches of each other, I would like to construct a cage using plexi glass as the divider down the longer side. This way they could see each other up close and not cause any trouble. I would use a wood frame with plexi glass sides and divider down the middle. The flooring would be their coroplast pans, dropped in on their respective sides. My questions would be:
-How tall should I make the barrier (plexiglass) between these guys- does 18" give me enough height to not worry about Spike turning into Tarzan?
-Does this provide adequate ventilation for them?
-Should I put a hinged top on this with a wire type grid so it can breathe but offer an extra level of precaution?
These questions may seem crazy-but I want to do this right the first time!
