Cage Wall Height?

The height depends on several factors, two of them being the age of your pigs and the bedding you plan on using.

Low sides (2-6 inches) works well with 4-6+ month pigs and people using fleece bedding.

Higher sides (6+ inches) is better for baby pigs and/or people using loose bedding like shavings, carefesh, wood pellets and so on. The higher sides stop the pigs from kicking out the loose bedding (not all of it but a much bigger amount compared to lower sides).

I hope this helps

We have 3 inch walls, and use fleece. We like that we can see the piggies in their cage from our couch too.

Please note, for babyproofing, walls should be 10 inches high, not 6.

That is correct

No babies to worry about . . . all are adult rescues. Thanks for your input

My walls are about two inches, but once I line the coro base with towels and fleece the walls are pretty non-existent. I don't have an issues with poop being flung out, but when it does happen my dogs take care of it.

I didn't think about the towels and fleece adding height. I made mine three inches so i guess we will see how that goes. Worse case, I have another whole sheet I can use if I decide I want the walls bigger. Thanks for your advice
