Hi everyone We bought our 2x bonded males (almost 1yr old) a new 2 story hutch yesterday in the hope of giving them more room, however it would seem they are quite scared of the ramp and haven't ventured down yet. I get that its a new house for them so they will be apprehensive so just...

We bought some of our panels and coroplast from candcguineapigcages. Although we also have the grid panels like the ones in Kavee, can't remember where we bought it from though. The good thing with C&C is you can overlap some of the grids by tying it with zipties to fit the space you have. I...

hmm ill see what i can do! i may not be able to give them access straight away to the run until iv fixed these bits but they should be okay in the hutch without until its all sorted shouldn’t they? also my dad can get me some more floor coverings however they will have been used / dusty, would...

I would be using the hutch for the guinea pigs, facing away from the run and with the ramp closed and the run for the rabbits with an old chartwell hutch inside it. It is only for the times when the shed and sunroom are too blazing hot for them. I would be around most of the time to keep an eye...

Hiya I have an 6x2 L shape c&c cage with a loft. My 3 sows are currently on fleece, which for the last 3 years has been fine. I used to work nights and could wash their fleece in the industrial washing machine at work and let them dry over night. The problem is now I’ve changed jobs to days...

Two sows together need a hutch which measures 150x60cm (a 5 foot hutch). Being double storey does not double the space - only the bottom level counts as living space as piggies are ground roaming creatures who are not natural climbers (meaning they prefer single level living). Double storey...

The blocks of wood are usually far too far apart and generally are not useful for them, but even with the blocks of wood, the wood itself is still too smooth for them to be fully comfortable

Welcome to the forum Yes a c&c cage is really the only suitable option for two boys. Sadly pet shop cages are never big enough particularly for boars. Two boys need 5x2 c&c. You can buy coroplast from wickes or even from Amazon. If you are happy not to use proper liners, you can use washable...

Alternatively, if it turns out they dont like it/won't use the 2 tiers, is there any harm in closing up the hole at the top, removing the ramp and creating efftivly 2x single story hutches and putting out 2x female piggies on the bottom and the boys up top? Currently the girls are in a...

He constantly amazes me. I'm sure he understands everything we tell him. Much as I adored Master Boris 🌈, he definitely didn't have the same level of intelligence. Mr Bob seems very smart so far, maybe he listens to "daddy's" advice? Both boys are enjoying the new penthouse and Mr Bob didn't...

I agree with mrs tiggy winkle. We cannot host video on the forum - you need to upload to YouTube first and then post a link to it here. Video hosting is costly and as a forum we cannot do it. Or you can just add some picture directly to this thread. Piggies are not natural climbers and some...

I wanted to make some bits out of cardboard like a ramp, tube etc. However I don't want to use sellotape as the guinea pigs will eat it and I assume glue isn't good for them either. Is there anything I could use instead? Any advice would be great!

Hi everyone! I currently have a double decker 6ft chartwell hutch for our 3 girls with a converted shallow angle ramp/tunnel set up to access each level which the piggies all love (thanks to the brilliant ideas in this forum, so thank you!). My question is the piggies live in our integral garage...

yes no problem at all! this hutch i really dont think they could get under, its not even big enough to put bricks under! ill have a think what i can use just incase though.. again i dont know if they will need a ramp as its so low to the ground, ill get pics tomorrow to see what you think...

Hello! I have two boars and am wondering if there cage is appropriate. I have two MidWest cages attached together by ramp. Each cage is 24’’ by 47’’. They used to be in a living world cage which I quickly realized was way too small. They seem to like it and are getting a lot more exercise.

I’m afraid you have miscalculated their cage sizes: loft spaces don’t count in the available floor space (reasons below), and it is only the bottom level of each cage which can be included. Therefore: Your pair have 10.52 sq ft, not 14 Your single has 7.92 sq ft, not 10 Any area connected by...

Does anyone have a good tip about building a ramp or what to use as a ramp? We have alot of grids, coroplast and zip-ties and I think a loft would be a great way for Djingis to get some energy out in the cage. He can zoom that ramp like crazy. Kongo? A little bit of extra exercise wouldnt kill...

Re-did the pen a few months ago so it's one big C&C with a divider instead of two pens next to each other and cleaning has gotten SO much easier! I can get both pens cleaned and vacuumed in less than twenty minutes now. 💜 I played around with replacing the hutch. The ramp to the second floor...

Hi, I used to have this set-up for my three sows and it provided ample space. I only changed it to C&C cage when one of my girls developed arthritis and she’d have to build herself up to getting over the ramp when she was stiff! This obviously won’t be an issue if your boars are young but just...

What lucky piggies 🥰
