Here is our cage, we have 2- 7 week old sisters coming home tomorrow!
I'm sure this is the first set up with many revamps to come.

Here's my humble cage right now. Just got it livable and moved the girls in today. Still need to build their platform/mezzanine and make a cuddle cube but I'm liking how it looks so far

My cage for my three female skinny pigs. ☺️ Kitchens on either side upstairs, hidey spots with fleece flaps underneath the kitchens, closet maid shelving on top for extra protection, and all their essentials underneath - cleaning supplies, clean bedding, food/hay/treats, and a basket for their dirty laundry. ☺️

Can't wait for our new piggies!

How big is the c&c now and are you only going to add the end pieces that make it an L shape because that would seem small for 5 pigs that are young.

The c&c is the regular size, I know it looks big in that picture but it's not. And we we're thinking of extending the too part by 2 squares as well. I thought the size for 5 pigs was 2×6 which is what ours will be once we add on. The piggies are all 3 years old except one who is 2.

No, it's just the photos made the cage look small. A 2x6 is the minimum and is fine. Are they all girls? if so that will be fine. If all boys you will want it 5 or 6 grids long and 3 wide as they need more room to help stop squabbles. My 4 boys were in a 3x6 any narrower and there was a ton of fights/squabbles.100_0680.jpg

Hi,

Can you share some more pictures of your external ramp? I am curious how it is setup. I may want to do something similar for my cage.

Thanks!

This is our new and improved cage! There is a ramp on the outside of the cage that leads to the upper level. On the left hand part of the L shape is a 2×2 potty/kitchen area with multiple hay racks and water bottles. It is home to our five happy female guinea pigs!

So, finally got my cage done and my 3 baby girls just arrived. I still have some cozys I'm going to make, and waiting on their better bowls, but this'll do for now. It's a 2x8 on the bottom and 2x4 on the top (24x96 inches and 24x48 inches). 20190618_204016.jpg20190618_204022.jpg20190618_204012.jpg

Ok, as promised in the intro section here is our before cage setup
It's the oxbow Dwarf rabbit cage with pen;
pigsbefore.jpg

Here is the new and improved frankencage. We kept their original home as they where very attached to it. THe still spend most of their time in the hidey in that section of the cage. Although when then need alone time they separate into the new section.

Finally finished my guinea pigs "house" but they appear scared of the stairs... They are able to use it because if I put them in the middle they will go up, bit they refuse to do so on their own!

First time having guinea pigs... I hope I'm doing things right.

Not an optimal cage size for two very spoiled piggys, but good enough for a road trip
