Blathers

He wont have to bend at all with this set up. You can get a 6x2 on a 6ft table (half a grid overhangs each end but ive never had a problem with this. ive a base of grids on my cage so its not an issue.)

How did you fasten the curtains around the table? I think it looks adorable. It sounds like a more cost effective option as well. I already priced out the cubes and it’s going to cost me a small fortune with a 2 grid high base!

They are panels of material with a curtain wire fed through them. The kind used to hold up net curtains. Like a coated wire and you get hook's to screw onto the ends these then hook onto the grids. (i hope I've explained it ok.)

I'm sure I could ask my husband and he will point me in the right direction but I am pretty sure I know what you mean! I just love the look of the curtains and they hide the table!
 
That's what it looks like, I'm not sure if you get it in America or not. Screenshot_20200517_193633_com.android.chrome.webp
 
Reading all these updates really warms my heart! Blathers absolutely lucked out with you, and I'm so happy for him. I'm looking forward to seeing who he picks to be his cagemate! Best of luck with all the progress!~
 
He's a beautiful pig. His eyes 😍 and his hair colour 😊

Thank you! I think everything about him is just absolutely perfect! Although he was a cheeky boy at lap time. Chattered his little teeth at me when the veggies were gone so he could go back to his cage for his nightly tablespoon of pellets. :doh:

I get the chattering teeth from The Ever Beautiful Betsy (she has now taught Dennis) when she doesn't get her veggies when she thinks she should have them! These piggies like to keep us Slaves on our toes!
 
I also love this idea! I originally ordered the 160 but decided on the Midwest’s for more space. I didn’t know you could combine them! Now we’re onto a c&c cage!
Thanks it took a bit of figuring out due to limited space. Originally I wanted it right across the spare bedroom but we have bunkbeds for grandchildren so that was out. We put both extension bits onto the 120 main cage to give a 200 cm cage then staggered the 100 cm remaining main cage and used one of the drop down dividers a cut one section off it as a doorway and got a little ramp off amazon and cut an inch off each end to lower it so it just goes over the cage sides. We have tie wrapped both cages for extra safety although the top part of the cage fold over each other so it’s quite secure anyway 😃C2A391D7-B16A-4235-861C-C29156ADFA3D.webp

I think this looks amazing. Genius idea.

How dare we not have veggies the nanosecond these cuties demand them. I wonder if Blathers will teach the new boy his new found trick like beautiful Betsy did to Dennis. Here I was last night thinking I did something wrong that he didn’t like when all the little wanted was his pellets.
 
Oh his little happy face, he’s just so full of character :luv:

I was so surprised to see him have a little bit of an attitude last night! At first I thought I did something wrong to upset him until he stood straight at his bowl when I put him back home. Then I was delighted that he felt comfortable enough to let me know he wanted to go back to his cage because he was hungry!
 
No piggy pictures tonight but I have a question. I’ve never dealt with a fallout before between piggies. If Blathers finds a friend during his dates and they fall out later on would having cages next to each other be enough company for them? My husband won’t allow more than 2 piggies so it’s just something I was thinking about!

Not sure if some rescues might let you return the piggy if Blathers changed his mind 🤔. Some do/will

I will definitely be sure to ask them when he’s dropped off about if he changes his mind. If they don’t would side by side be enough company?
 
Hi Blathers!

Nice to meet you! I'm Rocky and the only boy in my herd. I'm the fattest one at the end in the photo if you are wondering. And I have red eyes like you! 😁 I'm so excited for you to have a friend soon. Hopefully you get on well with him. I'm also adopted and I used to belong to a trio of boars (my brothers). RSPCA told daddy that no one wanted to adopt all 3 of us together so daddy had to pick me so that my 2 brothers had better chances of being adopted together.

I have 2 girlies beside me, Sierra my twin from another piggy mother (in the middle) and Vegas the baby (yes she's still a baby at around 11 months). The girls say you look so gorgeous! 😍

I'm sure you are enjoying your new home. But I can tell you, ask your new mummy for grass coz it's the best food I think my mummy gives me. But I'm back on diet again today coz I've been eating loads and loads and mummy said I weighed 1527g yesterday. I don't know what's wrong with it, it's not my fault coz I just eat what she gives me!

Talk to you again soon!

Fatty Rocky (that's what mummy calls me)

Hey there you cutie Rocky! Matter of fact all 3 of you are gorgeous! The human has tried to give me fresh grass but I’m a picky boy. I won’t even entertain the idea of eating something that has touched the ground outside. I accept lettuce, cilantro, and cucumbers as my veg dinner. Otherwise I bring out my fierce teeth chatter until mom gets it right. These silly humans just don’t understand my refined palette.

Tell your mom you don’t need a diet! Round is a normal shape and you are perfectly round. Diets are just blasphemy! Torture to us who are meant to eat ALL day! Maybe learn my teeth chatter until the human gives you a proper serving!

Love Shy Boy (a little less now),
Blathers
 
Hey Blathers!

Every morning I always hide when I hear mummy is already awake coz she always like having cuddles and then she'll trick me into getting weighed! She's so annoying. I don't chatter my teeth to her coz she gives me food and kisses and tells me she loves me even if she calls me fat fat boy. I can compromise like that. 😁

Do you like getting cuddles with your mummy? I only like it for 5mins then I ask to be put back on the floor. Oh and I love cucumber and lettuce too! But cilantro (coriander) is yukkkkkkkkk...:vom::vom::vom: Me and the girls don't like drinking water from the bottles so we have cucumber the whole day. But Sierra and Vegas are complaining I always try to finish them all. I also love watermelon but now mummy won't give me more coz she said diet diet diet! :gd:

Talk to you soon.

Rock Rock Boy 😊
