Question about my piggies pen
I am currently using a 4 ft plastic kids wading pool for my 2 female adult piggies. I don't have room for the 5ft or 6ft that I can also buy. I am considering building a wonderful cage mentioned on https://www.guineapigcages.com. I have used a store bought cage( when they were babies untill about 6mths) Also have used a plastic tub bin. Found both TOO Small!. So for money reasons I brought the wading pool.($7) My piggies don't climb out and only throw a little bit of litter out of it. It's in a corner in my bedroom. They have playtime out of it also. It's a decent size, but no room to run when their pigloos are in there. I take the pigloos out during the day. They can run, but only around the pool since it's a circle and not a long cage where they can run laps. Is this enough room for them? I want the best for my piggies. They are not extremly active like some pigs. I know I want to built the cubes & coloplast pens described someday,but can't at the moment for money reasons. I want to know if the 4ft wading pool is big enough for now or should I try something else? If I could find the cubes on sale and the coloplast at a decent price, I would do that very soon, But otherwise, just using the wading pool for now. Also, have many cubes do I need if I built that pen?? I know target is $20 for a set of 6 I think, but I think 6 isn't enough. I know I only have 2 piggies, but when I do move them to something else, I want it to be big.I may be adding another piggie later. How many cubes would I need and is there any place cheaper to buy them with a larger set? Any other pen/cage ideas???
Thanks,
