Poor mama is so huge :( Praying for a safe, easy and hopefully quick delivery. I can't even imagine how miserable she is. Prayers for Lucy also as she gets bigger and closer to delivery. You're going to have a noisy/busy house for a few weeks! Lol

Luckily pellets are only 5% of their diet so it's not bad if she refuses. That being said, be stern and only feed her the good pellets. If she doesn't eat them after a day, trash them and give her another fresh scoop. She'll eventually eat them, but it may take weeks to a month. Just don't give...

Rather than using a 2x8 *if space is limited* you can make stacked cages *cages on top of each other* Would work much easier than a big long cage IMO. Especially if mamas have boys. It's confusing at first but c&c cages are easy and fun to remodel. If you get bored, you take apart and upgrade...

lunarminx, my husband and brother pushed them through. It was hell for sue and took the longest but they are super snug!! Lol

My pigs have been pelletless for almost two months. I have been giving more veggies. So I wouldn't know. They will only eat KMS so I've been waiting until I have enough money to buy in bulk. lissie, Thank you! So two 50lb bags will last me right around a year then. I'll buy two bags then. Thank...

here is the right side, every board has an inch overhang on each side.

Anyone know?

Traysea, there are two 2x2 lumbers supporting each the stand, first and second levels and PVC is supporting the third/top level. Tons of support.

Question in the title asks everything I need to know. 1/8 c. each and/or 1/4 c. each. I am buying KMS next month and am hoping that 50lb will last me the whole year...just wondering how close my guess is lol Thanks!!!

So I wanted to update with my new stacked cage :) 2x5 triple stacked with stand. Top level has my trio; Rosalie, Brownie and Cupcake. Middle level has my special needs girl Rapunzel and youngest skinny Mocha. And the bottom level has my two girls Roxie the werewolf and Pebbles the Abby. They've...

I actually figured it out on my own earlier! Lol I didn't make a bottom with grids but I did use a 2x3 sheet of coro. I put a cover down on top of it but if he potties in it then it'll be easily cleaned. I left one end as the door. I did wind up using both connectors and zip ties, just seemed...

A friend of mine found a <12 week old puppy outside alone, he'd been wandering for three days before she decided to take him in. She couldn't keep him so we took him in. Anyway, figure since cash is tight right now from taking him to the vet that I'd make him a cage from grids. Top, bottom and...

Well that idea went out the window :/ Dresser wasn't wide or long enough. Boo! Grids are my only option since the only extra money I'll be getting will be going toward new coro. But I think the 4 2x5 stacked might work. Just hoping it doesn't look crazy since that'll be the first thing people...

This just opened up a whole new idea that may not require remodeling!! Going to measure our dresser now!! lol

Thanks Princess_Piggie, I use zip ties with connectors so it is sturdier. But someone (actually it was Melissa123) said that using connectors would be a bad idea when doing stacked cages. lunarminx, can you post pictures of your cage? I am clueless as to what a wonder bar is.. I have dowels that...

There will be 3 in the 2x5 and 2 in each 2x4. Why?

I need some more space in our house and am thinking stacked cages will work wonders. With that being said, I've searched the cage photo page and didn't find what I needed, so I'm turning to y'all to help me out. I am looking for help, a picture or a tutorial for stacked cage with these...

When we first got our pigs and the cats were adjusting, we'd put a fitted sheet or blanket over the top of the cage and let it drape over any time we'd leave. I put something heavy enough so they wouldn't pull it down *board, box, etc* Worked out well. We don't have to do that now because they...

We have two cats (both age 1) and two piggy cages. We've had the pigs since May 2013. Both of the cats are mouse hunters. One can be trusted with them WITH SUPERVISION and one cannot. Neither of them can be trusted with them with me out of the house. If I'm cage cleaning or something, they can...

I'm sorry but a vet visit is necessary. I'd rather be safe than sorry. Especially with nasty ol rats.
