Hi Everyone!
My my husband and I have a pair of piggies and we are looking to build a better cage. Our floor space is limited, (and more importantly we want to avoid winter drafts chilling them along the floor!) so we were looking into multiple layer cage options, but not sure about the idea. We currently have a 3x5 c&c floor cage for them both. Any thoughts as to a multi-layer cage?
I have seen 1x1 wide, 5 long, 3 level cages that would fit well in our space. I am wondering whether they would still need a space which is at least 2x2 wise though, or if the total space is more important. We could give them more space with a 3 level cage, but again not sure about the importance/impact of width.
Maybe I am overthinking the space requirements for two piggies, but We want to be sure their new cafe is as ideal as possible for everyone.
Other than space considerations (which is my primary question) Do you generally find it easy to clean a multilevel cage? Do pigs use both levels on average?
Thank you all for your kindness and consideration!
