I have an example of the rule I found called "Anything for my Pig(s)."

Today I spent the whole day designing and destroying my cage designs.
The first design was A regular one story cage. THat was too plain for me so I built it two stories. Then the pigs wouldn't go up the ramp. Then, I built a cage that had grids as the cage lid. Almost crushed my pig because nothing was supporting it. Finally, I made a second floor on one of the sides and for supports, I made little 3 wall "rooms" for each of the hidey houses. lol. Comes to show you can never do too much for your pigs. lol.
 
I must have redesigned my piggies cage 25 times till I got it right. I'm always adding something new each week to make it interesting. Yesterday I put up a grid on the third floor and stuck a alfalfa cube thru it. They loved it. Now when they go up there they have a treat waiting for them. Today I went to a garden store and bought a wheatgrass plant. Also put it on the 3rd level. They had a grand time with that too. I never stop thinking about my piggies. My family hates me.

My family can't hate me cause they don't see me enough... lol Im always playing with the pigs or designing and perfecting my cage. Check out the multi story open cage gallery cause my cage will be there...
 
I do that all the time! Redesign, find out exact measurements of coro I'll need, how many grids I'll need, how many sheets of coro, etc. I'm building a new cage this summer, it's going to be grand!

Call me stupid but what do you mean by multi story open cage gallery. I checked out your profile with the 2 pictures you had of the cage. Is that what you meant?
 
Click the galleries link at the top ((broken link removed)), then click "Open, multi-level" :) It should be in their galleries as well though.
 
Its in there now... lol
 
Thank you Mncavylover..... It's a beautiful looking cage. Wait, its just the beginning. After a few weeks you will be eyeing the 2nd level wondering, hmm....what about if I extend it along the side. Enjoy.

That's a definate.... lol
 
I can't make my cage any bigger or grander right now, but can hardly wait until I can get enough money to build a bigger and better cage. Right now I need to focus on keeping my piggies healthy by having all the right supplies for them. You guys sound like you're having so much fun!

We definatley are having fun but you are doing the right thing. We could make these grand cages right now but you are accepting that you can't yet and buying your pigs the essentials. THat is a true piggy owner.
 
To be honest. I work all week and can't wait till I get home, get undressed, eat and then relax for the night. I go out on the weekends during the morning and afternoons at times. I am home usually during the evenings. At this point in my life I enjoy the quiter time at home. I am even suprised myself that I am enjoying my piggies as much as I am. I usually get bored from things very quickly. It is now 6 months and the feelings are still very strong. I can sit in my bed and just watch them eat, drink, eat their hay, run up and down the ramp. I find this very entertaining. This site has alot to do with it. Especially the building of the cage. It has made a world of difference.

Same with me. I used to keep BOTH pigs in a my first home cage and It was too small. One day I was looking for a new cage online and I found Kathy's Kritters. I looked at her cage and I was like "ooooo special" so I planned out the cage and bought the Items that same weekend. I have noticed that when I had the super pet home, IU forgot to feed my piggys and water them. I didn't give them floor time. As soon as I built my new cage and came on here, It was such a differance. Now, I'll practically have a heartattack if i don't give them a carrot each. Then my family just stares at me weirdly..... o_O lol
 
Also Pennick, I was reading your profile and I realized that our birthdays are just 2 days apart. Not the same year but 2 days apart. And I just realized that... Im loosing it... lol
 
I ruined my father's 70th birthday yesterday cause I insisted on driving home early to see how my sneezing pig fares. There ARE some priorities after all. *G*
 
this is funny

i ust of done the door to my cavy sanctuary 45 times before i got it right
 
I just spent the entire spring break redesigning my cage for my three girls. It is 2x5 with another 2x5 cage as a secong level. They are so excited that it is finally done and are finally learning how to use the ramp!!!

HEHE!
 
I just ordered a wheatgrass kit so I can grow grass for my piggies. Is this obsessive or what. Pretty soon I will be bankrupt.
