I have three piggies right now. One of them has been very grouchy, and our vet suggested that we separate her from the other two to see if her mood improves. She is actually behaving much better, acting friendlier and running around the cage again.
The problem is that if this ends up being a long-term thing, I will need a more permanent solution to our housing issues. Right now we are splitting our 2x5 into a 2x3 and a 2x2 with a partition... way too small for our piggies!
I was thinking a two-level cage... 2x5 on the bottom, and a 2x3 on top. I am a little bit worried about safety, about the lower piggies getting enough light, and about whether we will be able to catch the lower girls with most of the top being closed off. Does anyone have suggestions on how to pull this off? Or alternate suggestions for our best housing options if we need to separate our squeakers permanently?
Thanks!!
