Sunday Night Chat

[LuvMyPiggers]

I'm reaaaaallllllyyyy bored so I thought of making a general Sunday night chat.

 

[Binas Cavys]

that sounds like fun

 

[LuvMyPiggers]

Yay! Someone came. How are you? I remember people used to make these for friday nights once.

 

[RubyPiggie2]

Hiya! How is everyone?

 

[LuvMyPiggers]

Well that wasn't very sucessful... I say we try a Friday night...

 

[Piglet]

ha ha! I was thinking the same thing Can we just have an everyday evening chat?

 

[smileyface cavy]

Chat in the chatroom or on a thread?

 

[LuvMyPiggers]

Hmmm... tough descison... probanly thread because of time zones... Good Idea piglet... I'll ask a mod to change it..

 

[Binas Cavys]

Yup, LuvMyPiggers is right it would be easier on the tread.

You could do a 1x4 loft if you have enough grids....

 

[Piglet]

That wouldn't work because then the ramp would be too steep. You could do a nice L shaped loft.

 

[laura220]

Oops, I think I have like 28 grids that I can use. EDIT--> Nope only 26. *shrugs*

I was thinking a 1x4x1/L shaped one. That'd take 24 grids? So I have extra. Hmm..I'll count my grids again. BTW, the cage needs to be closed and I don't have linen shelving. And I'm limited on zipties too(can't buy more because they're EXTREMELY expensive here).

I use fleece and puppy pads for bedding. What should I use for the loft? How does carpeting work? Do you just wash it when it's soiled or replace it fully.

 

[Piglet]

That's not going to work - your ramp will have to fit into a space that is one grid wide. Carpet is very hard to wash so I don't recommend using it. Why don't you carry on using fleece?

 

[smileyface cavy]

I'm very bored too... what should we chat about? (other than ramps)

 

[Piglet]

um...our plans for the week. I'm going to a theme park on wed with friends. And then I have a wedding to attend on the weekend!

 

[smileyface cavy]

Ooh! Who's getting married?

 

[laura220]

See, I'll put one bent grid/ramp downward then the other is sideways at the end of the first. Get it? It's too hard to explain. Kind of like a tilted back upsidedown 'L'? I've already made sure it'd fit and wouldn't be too steep.

I don't have more pup pads to use under the fleece in the loft so what would I use under? Newspapers and 1 or 2 layers of towels? And would I just fold the fleece blanket so it's actually a couple layers of fleece or cut it?

 

[Piglet]

Oh, I see! That would work nicely

I would fold the fleece - it will become more absorbant. You can use towels too - they would work well.
