We adopted our two girls three weeks ago and have finally got their cage the way they need it. I originally made their ramp with coroplast, but they wouldn't use it, then I went with 2 cube panels folded over and zip tied together. They still wouldn't use it because it was too steep for them. So now they still have the 2 cube panels folded but I used another cube panel, bent it slightly, covered it with a towel and fleece and placed the ramp on top of it.Works like a charm plus the extra panel makes a great place to hide. They love it. I changed the loft area a little bit and moved the hay bag over the litter pan in the spot where the little hay basket is in the pic. their pellet bowel is now where the larger hay bag was.

This is a cool cage. Do i see a litter box in there? I've wondered if you could litter box train them. Mine poop/pee in the corner of their cage. I would love to get a litter box for them.

Nice cage and a great idea for the ramp. Love the butterflies on the wall too.

That is absolutely adorable. I have two boys and I girlify their cage but, their messiness doesn't reflect that. I love the ramp fringe and color scheme! Post some pictures of your piggies in it! :D

Thanks! There are two litter boxes in their cage. one in the loft and one under the loft. They seem to use them quite a bit. I just put them in the corners that they seemed to go a lot.

Cleaned out the girl's cage today. The cage is in my daughter's room and that's why there's a lot of pink and purple. I wanted to try to match her color scheme, pink, purple,& teal. I have 2 set of liners and pee pads made and I'm in the process of making a third. It's so hard not to buy all the cute patterns that fleece comes in.:) Here they are in their clean cage.

Your cage is adorable and I'm super jealous. Nothing in my cage matches, which is fine, but I do hope sometime in the future to splurge and make everything really nice!

Awesome cage! I am sort of OCD so there's no way my cage could not match the room haha
