I recently put together on top of an old desk I had a C&C sudo cage constructed from 9x9 grids I bought from the following link.
(broken link removed)t's size is 2x3 grids over lapped 1 square on the ends.
And 1 n 1/2 squares on the sides.
I took 2x2x8 untreated cut down to 15" pieces mounted them to the top of my desk using steel angles cut to 1 n 1/2" mounted to two sides "AWAY" from piggie access of coarse on the sides of the 2x2 mounted to the the desk with #10 3/4" long sheet metal screws.
And I used plastic ties to hold them to the 2x2's.
I put on the floor of the cage on top of the desk a piece of Insulboard 3/4' thick to help keep the piggies tootsie warm, and on top of the Insulboard I put a piece of Linoleum glued into place using Elmer's glue.
On the sides I Plastic Tied 8" wide conveyor belt pieces "WELL" cleaned for the shavings guard.
My question now is how do I seal around the bottom and corners to keep the pee in and keep it from running down and out of my piggie's cage?
I had thought about Latex Chalk but although not as bad in contents as Silicone Chalk it still contains Fungicides which I know are "DEADLY" to the
pigs.
I've got everything else put together and ready for my new pig except this one glitch.
As soon as I get it figured out I'll be ready to roll.
Any Ideas WELCOME!!!
