Amazing! I liked the piggie running laps! My girls do that too.
I have them in a Midwest guinea pig cage and what do you think? An upgrade to a 2x4 grid cage (which everone recomends) would only be 9" longer on one side and 4" longer on the other side. Is it worth it? Thanks! ~Margey
Thanks it's got some wood pellets bedding and hay!Your piggies and cage are adorable! What is in the pink pan in the right corner, under the second story?

If you go by the dimensions listed online, I'm seeing a difference of just 3" on one side (and 9" on the other). But even using those lesser dimensions it still makes a big difference in the overall size of the cage. The 2x4 grid cages has an area of 1512 square inches. The Midwest has 1128 square inches.
That means the upgrade of "just" 3" on one side and 9" on the other is actually an additional 384 square inches! That's more than 2 1/2 square feet! --worth it, yes!
[The second pair of piggies I rescued had been kept in a cage that itself was only about 2 square feet.]hmy:
