hello! I need to make 2 cage for my piggies. one set of girls, one set of boys. but, to do that, i need to know, should i make one big cage and divide it with plastic and fencing in the middle? or just do two separate? which will be easier? which will make my piggies happier? I want to know what would make my piggies happiest, so type away and give me some suggestions

thank you everyone!

How much space do you have? Will you want it on a base or table? If its on the floor you could have the boys in a 5x3 on the bottom and a 2x5 above for the girls. Since it is on the floor you can step in it to clean the top and bottom.

oh my...... i have a good amount of space, i could make something comfortable for them, but not HUGE. the little cages i have for my piggies right now are on the ground, so maybe i would just stick with something on the ground?

well, actually, a double decker might be nice....what suggestions do you have for one?

Kristine's cage would be perfect for you.

thanks much, i will look into it

You could do a 2x9 and divide it. 2x4 for the girls and 2x5 for the boys. Or do the double decker like lunarminx suggested

I think cleaning a long cage would be easier than cleaning a double decker though. Cleaning under my loft is difficult enough. I couldn't imagine having a full cage to do it lol

yeah, i agree, but either way, im willing to do either, whatever makes them happiest

does anybody have any good sleeper ideas? i would love for them to have a cozy bed

If you do a side by side cage, put a lid over the boys' cage where it connects to the girls. Boys can climb into the girls' cage without a lid.

thanks, i will make sure the boys stay where they belong. i dont need anymore piggies, lol, thank you

Personally, I would do a double decker or two separate cages so the boys can't get into the girls. Maybe a 2x5 with another 2x5 on top (depending on how many piggies you have)?

I would make 2 separate cages and stack them or put them on different sides of your room (if possible), as others have mentioned. Too much risk, as some males will find a way to get to them..

yeah, i have 2 boys and two girls. the boys are super laid back, so im not really worried about their dare-devil skills. actually, they are in open top cages next to the girls right now, and they dont try to get in, but better safe than sorry, so maybe i could make a lid or something for the cage

That or just put the divider two grids high where they connect next to each other.
