On recommendation I recently put together a C&C cage. 2X7, working out to a little more than 20 sq feet. Overall it's worked great (have 4 females). Overall I have been very please. I arranged the cage so they have plenty of room to run and do laps (which they seem to enjoy a lot).
The only concern I have is that last night I took one of the piggies out for some bonding time. She's very young, so she is on the small side. She is skittish so she immediately ran back to the cage and squeezed herself through the bars and got back in.
The good news is that i've had the cage for over a week now and none of them appear to have any desire to escape. No bar chewing, no signs of boredom; they have plenty of company and enrichment items.
Is this something I should be concerned about until they get a bit bigger and couldn't fit through the bars anymore?
Thanks for any help
