Thanks for the responses! I thought this topic died as soon as I started it haha. My girls don't seem as skittish now that I am reading about other piggies. They have loved their hair brushed from the start and we can touch them all over once we have them on our chests or in our laps. I am...

Thanks Pinky. I think I read in another post of yours that you have been using fleece sewed like a pillow case with cotton batting in the middle? Then a layer of towel underneath? How has this been working for you? And what kind of fleece are you using? I have also read on here that...

Mental math skills is definitely not a skill of mine lol Unfortunately we don't have any local fabric stores. Even our Super Wal-Mart got rid of their fabric section. I make tutu's for my daughers and even the Tulle I have to have shipped to me, it is so frustrating! So any of the fleece I...

Hurleyslave Okay so you do mattress pad on the bottom, polyester batting in the middle, and fleece on top? How is that working for you? I would probably buy a towel and leave it separate to lay underneath. The way I was reading to do the bedspreads were to do fleece on top, mattress pad in...

zebraXqueen, is that with the fleece on the top and the bottom with a layer of mattress pad or batting in between?

I want to make my own piggy bedspreads for the new 2x4 cage I will be building. I would like the spread to be in once full piece. How big will I need to purchase the fleece? 1 yard? 2 yards? I have no concept of how much that is!

GPigsRSweet, yes, thank you!

Since I rescued my piggies, they came in their "glorified litter box" as I have seen it called. It is a small space for my 2 girls who seem so big to me. Which is why I am creating a C and C cage for them. They go to the bathroom mostly in the back right corner of their current cage. So in...

Can someone draw me a diagram of a 2x4 cage and a 2x3 cage both with an L shaped loft on the right side? The loft would use 3 grids on the bottom of it, so like a 2 x 2 but with one grid missing to form an L, if that makes any sense!

What size coroplast did you need for the loft? What did you have to cut the measurements too? I will be making a 2x4 for my piggies and this loft is awesome!

lol Well I am glad to hear it is normal to be slower while stitching by hand AND that other people butcher themselves while doing it! lol I just saw a video on how to straight stitch, seems easy enough so I have confidence I can do it! I am amazed that someone can charge $80 for a few pieces...

lol Don't worry, I probably won't be any faster and I am counting on getting my fleece covered in blood from stabbing my fingers on accident :rolleyes:

Thanks for the responses! I will have to attempt this straight stitch first before I try to do it on anything important lol The space I was planning on having the cage in wouldn't fit a 2x4 but I will do some re-arranging to fit in, maybe I will just choose a different spot! The problem is I...

Thanks for the link! I will have to look into a straight stitch. I catch on pretty quickly. Can I use the straight stitch for making things like cozies and tunnels?

Beautiful! they are so adorable!

I wanted to add that maybe I can do a 2x3 cage with a 1x2 loft and a ramp? Would this be okay for two sisters?

I found a local sign store that will sell me a 6'x4' piece of coroplast for $10, I am so excited! It will be white but I am okay with that! Now I know bigger is better, I really want to do a 2x4 cage for my two girls. But would they be okay in a 2x3? Space availability is a huge part of why...

Thanks for the info!

I understand this site's position on breeding, showing, and pet stores. But to ask a serious question, not trying to be sarcastic or start a debate. Without breeding, there would be no guinea pigs. Does this site also take the position of only having guinea pigs as pets because they are out...

Buying from a Pet Store encourages breeding when there are so many animals in need of homes. Now that isn't saying buying from a pet store is the most horrible thing ever. It depends on what store you are buying it from. If you go down the street to the family owned pet store that keeps their...
