This was the cage she started in, and has lived in most of her life
This was the new cage her previous owners bought before giving her to me. Still way too small, but at least better... I added everything in it, she didn't even have a hidey hole.
NOW her new cage! Still a little on the small side for a pair of pigs (she needs a friend), but it's a ton better than what she had.
I found a little bookshelf on CL for $15. I took the shelves out, turned it on it's back, and added wheels to make it easier to move around. Then I bought a $2 plastic shower curtain from Wal-Mart and lined the bookshelf with it. We used a staple gun to tack it down, and then I duct taped the edges for good measure, I used colored tape so it added a little decoration too.
I bought a little hanging basket from Home-Depot and stretched out the hanging hooks so they fit over the edge. Then I used a hammer to push it down nice and tight. Now she has a place for her water bottles, and for a toy to hang.
Then we added the bedding and toys! I covered everything up in towels and beds and fleece and toys so that hopefully she would only pee in her litter box. So far so good! *knocks on wood*
The little colorful spot just to the right of the litter box is where I put a wall hook to hang toys from.
