I agree! It is really hard to tell that this is your first cage. Mine is crazy awkward since it was my first lol.

Thanks guys! The fleece was the only boy themed one I could fine even though I am sure the boys wouldn't notice if I put them on pink! Lol xx they love their new cage though - they've been running around it all night! Hehe xx I ended up putting fleece scraps up the ramp as they didn't seem to want to go up it at first but now they race up and down it

I love the cage, and I like the sport themed wood chews and fleece! And what boy wouldn't like pretty pink princess fleece?

A very, very nice cage!

I would, however, put in another waterbottle, food dish and hayrack. The way it is now, if one of the pigs is in a bad mood, he can vey easily keep the other pig from getting to the food and water. Because as far as I can tell from the pictures, you only have one of each in a relatively small corner, which is easily defended by a territorial pig.

I was tryin to keep all the footage in the loft because its easier to change out the fleece in there - do you think it's too small? Xx

People who have the same sized loft may chime in on the size, but it is recommended to have at least two of everything to avoid one pig keeping the other from eating or drinking.

I have a big open cage and when one of my girls is in a mood she does chase away the other two. Your loft only has one entrance/exit and it may cause problems, but I have no experience with lofts.

It usually is the hay that causes a mess, so putting a waterbottle and a food bowl downstairs would be something to consider. Especially the waterbottle, if only just in case one breaks or goes empty (some pigs play with wayer bottles making them go empty really quickly), so you still have one working water bottle.

I second the second water bottle. The food shouldn't be to big of a deal as they can hold off on the pellets until the mean guinea gets over its mood. However permanent access to water is a must.

Lovely cage! Just finished something similar too, but one grid smaller loft. Think I might be extending again after looking at yours :)
