Carrot Cottage Demolition Thread

[VickiA]

I decided to try to document the daily decline of Mollie and Mabel's carrot house. This is end of day 1



End of day 2



End of day 3

Ooohh; good idea, thanks Vicki. I've never got my two one of these, but was thinking I ought to. It will be interesting to see how long it lasts.....or doesn't .

I've just got Bertie and Marley one of these they are too small to jump on the roof though bless them! They are literally eating theirselves out of house & home

 

[Laura mason]

I had one of these for my piggies but they didn't eat it very quickly and because it was getting pee on it it started to get mould growing up the bottom (within a week) so I had to bin it. I thought it would have been ripped apart like yours! They did have the odd nibble but nothing major x

Ha ha day 3 looks like Maud and Robyn's last one. For some reason they aren't as keen on their new one though.

Day 4 and the girls' renovations are coming on nicely.

 

[Posyrose]

The roof is definitely their favourite!

Wonder what they'll do when they've stripped off all the carrot on the roof. Sweet toothed little monsters.

 

[Swissgreys]

This is hilarious!
Your girls are real demolition monsters - Eddi (my bulldozer pig) send his respect their way!

 

[Teddybear22]

Well, no one can say that they aren't tenacious

Day 5 and there's precious little of the roof left !

If you don't mind me asking, do they actually climb onto the roof; is it strong enough to support a fully grown piggle?

Oh yes, they do climb on it. My heaviest girl is close to 1.35kgs and it takes her weight.

Day 6 and the piggies have repositioned the cottage to get a better angle of attack.

this is so cute!

 

[Jamjarpigs]

Oh my gosh this makes me want to get my boys one now.

Day 7 and the culprits are admiring their handiwork

 

[Posyrose]

Good to see that they are keeping up the demolition even though all the carrot has gone. It's certainly keeping them occupied!

 

[VickiA]

After an hour or 2 munching grass outside they came in to their newly cleaned cage and started demolition duties in earnest. I can't fault their dedication to the task.

Love it x

When they have finished can you send them over to me as I have to strip the hall wallpaper. It seems they are the experts and would enjoy it much more than me.
Just asking

Haha! I got my lot one of these for Christmas and for days all you could hear from the lounge was the sound of cardboard destruction Your girlies are gorgeous - they look like they're absolutely loving it too!

 

[maisie-piglet-mocha pigs]

Your Guineas are beautiful! Lovely colours

 

[VickiA]

Day 9 and the girls are still making inroads into the cottage. All carrot stripped from the roof and the walls are looking a little bare in parts, too

 

[Crystella]

a little bare? I'd say the little darlings have done a brilliant job of stripping that cottage

 

[artcasper]

Great thread !

 

[VickiA]

I will do an update post cage clean tonight.

 

[VickiA]

Mabel is looking proud of her handiwork


And just for @sport_billy a gratuitous Mabel chooken legs shot

So glad you posted this... my two ate exactly the same! They just love it. Jumped on top straight away as you say to demolish the roof first... they were only 7 weeks when they had their first one and being new I was omg how did you get up there... I thought guinea pigs couldn't climb! I actually ended up after they made a hole in the roof turning it upside down so they then started on the inside and walls!
