I make an assortment of things for piggies too, but unfortunatly I don't have a website either. Maybe I should think about setting one up. If you'd like to contact me I can give you an idea of what I make.

I have 4 cuddle cups made available for sale for $15 + shipping if anyone is interested. Please contact me for pics and more info. Thanks

I adopted a little bunny about a month ago after the passing of my black and white dutch. His name is Tater. I believe he's a dwarf hotot. Here's a pic of him. https://img.photobucket.com/albums/v378/cat_in_the_hat72/Picture013_edited.jpg He's got quite a personality and loves to be with his people.

Ok just got my local Target sale flyer, and they have a six set of cubes on sale for $11 a box. Heading down tomorrow to check them out. Thanks.

Roughly 3, 1x2 cages could be made from one sheet. This is with the standard 6 inch sides.

Thanks so much CCcages. I'll have to try and get down to Target and see what they have. From what it sounds like they are a pretty good deal. The last ones I bought for the bunny cage were at Shopko on sale and they were a pretty good deal too. I would assume they would work the same way if I...

Well I was looking to buy a rather large amount but I guess I probably still wouldn't be looking at the numbers they would expect me to order. May just have to take a trip up Chicago way and find a Costco as these seem to be the best deal. If anyone comes across anthing please let me know. Thanks

I contacted a local farmer and bought what I would guess is meadow hay. Just your typical grass hay mixture. My piggies love it compared to the old stuff as used to get. It does have a few more stems in it that the store bought kind but they don't seem to mind. They really seem to like the smell...

Does anyone know of any of the manufacturers or distributors of any of the brands of storage cubes? Looking to buy wholesale and the brand I bought I can't find anything on. Thanks catinhat72

I noticed in looking at a couple different sites that some use a large wooden dowel run through the walls of the cage and under the loft area. This would eliminate taking up valuable floor space with a floor support but would still give sufficient support. When I get to making my bunny cage...

One thing I had considered is I have a ton of old cloth diapers and thought about layering these under the fleece and maybe something else under the diapers. Maybe sew them together into a nice pad. Figured the diapers would be pretty absorbant and hold quite a bit and the only cost to me would...

I have been doing some thinking concerning my local animal shelter. They take in guinea pigs, rabbits and other small animals to adopt out, but don't do much to promote finding them new homes. I have yet to actually go down and see the small animal room as I'm afraid I'll want to bring them all...

My piggies actually do well in not pulling it out and stringing it everywhere. Guess they are just serious about their food and don't find it to be a toy. LOL Of course some does fall out while they are eating but they tend to clean it up. I think I make more of a mess getting it in there then...

I have two males in a large cage and I spot clean the wet spots a few times a week and do and over all change when it looks like it needs it. I don't notice the pigs themselves having really any odor. You shouldn't have problems with odor if cage is big enough and properly maintained. I did...

I am considering switching to using fleece simply because I am tired of the mess my piggies make all over the floor. After reading through posts here it seems se though those that use it seem to like it. Is this the general consensus? I especially liked the idea found on guinea lynx about making...
