Do you ever browse websites for pigloos/hideys, but end up not buying anything because you can't guarantee that your pigs aren't too fat to fit through the door?! :{

There are a few wooden hideys that I would like but it would be such a waste of money if they can't accommodate a certain pig's chunky bum.
It's so annoying, and it's not like I can take him around the shops testing to see if his fat a*se will fit before I make a purchase.


Anybody else have this problem? rolleyes
 
I've just been thinking the same! I saw one built up in pets at home that was for guinea pig size and thought it was small, was thinking the rabbit one might be bigger and more appropriate, I don't know?
 
Have owned a number of different tunnels and mini play houses in the past and never had a problem with the door sizes :) is hard to tell without them there though, but would say any should be fine as long as they are described for a rabbit or piggy :)
 
My guineas always do a bit of 'renovating' if the openings are too small! Soon enough the opening is comfortable enough for them to squeeze their large derrière in. :))
 
I have been thinking quite often the same...

Thankfully, I have a wood tinkering hubby who has built me a few houses. For the rest, I use cardboard.
 
I always buy rabbit sized items, I got some snuggle sacs from ebay which would barely fit a hamster!
