I'm so excited I can't believe what just arrived in post. I bidded on a customer returned cage on ebay from a shop selling returns, they said beware as it could be damaged no returns blah blah.

My current emergency / hospital cage is only 80cm. I thought it was 100cm but realised how small it was when building all my cages and got my tape measure out! I wanted a smallish cage to replace it, as sometimes a small space is better with certain illness (it is not to be lived in by any of my pets ((hopefully - I don't want any more ill pigglies @ present))

So I found a 100cm cage on ebay, I took a chance but it has arrived in immaculate condition, along with for some reason unknown to me a huge back of unopened bunny friscgras which is lovely and green, a wooden toy (which I will bin as it has no labels so could have been used) , and a huge living world glass water bottle which looks clean but wet so been used so it will be disinfected and sterilised, I will also disinfect the cage although it looks unused.

All this came to a total of £14.55 plus £6.99 P&P!

I cannot believe my luck, Now all I need is to find a 120 cage for the same price and I'm all sorted with my set up!
 
I know and I am so much happier with the fact it is cheap because I am hoping for it to stand empty for many years to come :)
 
Sounds like it was from one of the Zooplus returns sellers. Ive ordered dog beds and hamster cages from them before and they always add extras....it feels like Christmas getting a delivery from them :D
 
I'm keeping looking for a 120 for a permanent cage. I have it on my phone for ones in my area and keep looking through cheap sellers. I have just realised this has come from Germany lol. the hay is only on german website and no English on it, it should be 13,90 € not sure what that it in pounds
 
there is german sticker on the box with zooplus crossed out lol I cant belive this has been returned in Germany then sold to England lol
 
Well my pigs are very pleased with their free gift. I managed to read enough of the german to know it is a 3kg bag of premium hay. I'm wondering if its their version of readigrass. My pigs would have expensive taste not sure I want to order all the wsy from germany though!
 
I wanted to trwat you all to piccys of my gang nomming. I didnt get all my pigs and to be honest I was lucky to get any the minute they heard the flash they were off lol heres what I managed to scrape together for you :

That's is a good bargain, I got a brand new 120cm for £5 off ebay a while ago. Little petwarehouse do a 120 for £35 inc delivery which is better then most of the market, a lot stronger :)
