Hi everyone!:)p

I havent been on these boards in quite some time as i dont use the net as much as i used to. I have been planning on getting the pigs a new cage and accessories and wondered if anyone could recommend the biggest cage i could get for them? at the moment Louis and Max live in a 120cm rabbit cage. I dont want a C&C cage(had one for my first pair of piggies and although it was nice i found it a bit of a pain to clean properly) and was thinking that maybe the ferplast 140 cage might be the biggest available? but wanted to check here before buying anything.

Also wondered if i could ask a question about vetbed. at the moment i have the boys on ecopetbed which is great but i want them to have something more comfy as they love snuggling in their corner hammocks so figured they would love vet bed. i just wondered if anyone had tried the whelping vetbed? i got some of this from ebay from the rats and i think its fantastic but obviously rats dont wee as much as piggies:(|)so wondered if it worked as well with them?

Really appreciate any replies, looking forward to giving my piggie boys a treat!:)
 
my piggies have a 2 storey hutch with a 3ft x 4ft run attached. and i put vetbed all over it even in the run. i wash them every 7 days and i have had no probs with my washing machine. i have used vet beds for nearly 4 years and will never go back. i have my original ones to so a very good investment
 
yes I have bought vet bed & been using for 2 days love it so much already have a second lot on order.

To show how good it is on the first day I had it down I must have put the water bottle at wrong angle & when I came home 3/4 had emptied into the cage. I felt the vet bed & it felt dry on top so first thought tiger must have been very thirsty. But i realised he couldn't have possibly drunk that much so lifted it up and was wet underneath & some had seeped through to the bottom of the cage. Saying that there wasn't a puddle or anything just damp all over. Also most inportantly tiger was dry!

I had to wash it of course which was easy just swept it off bunged in washing machine and replaced it with another piece. The piece I washed at 10.00pm was dry by 7.00am next morning just hung on airer (probably earlier actually)

I also have sweeped out all the poos today which was very easy & only took couple of seconds. When using shavings I would sit there for 20mins picking out poos & wees each day to stop me having to spend so much on shavings. I then had to obviously clean properly every three days which took ages as the shavings would be stained onto sides with all the wee.

I got mine from the below seller on ebay. It is a bit pricey but def worth it. You need to get two pieces though so you can put new one in the cage whilst one in the washer.

Also the chocolate colour I got is great for not showing up poos!

thanks for all the replies. i have actually been using vet bed with the rats for many years so i know how fantastic it is:) ive just never used it with the pigs so didnt know if it would be as good, seems it is though! think they are going to love it too so cant wait to get them onto it.

thanks for the link to that cage, i do remember seeing that at some point when i was looking but didnt really like the design of it. plus it seemed a bit steep for what it is.

yeah it is really
mine is similar design but smaller and i got mine second hand off ebay for £10. maybe worth keeping your eyes pleeled.
