Beautiful! Here is my boy's cage. I have the same one for my girls. I put grids under the loft. They love to sleep in there. The kitchen area is under the fleece on the main floor. They love the loft too!

Very nice! I did have a top tier but one of my boys suffered a back injury from the ramp, so we took it down but I love your set up xx

Oh no! Sorry to hear that! I redid my ramps to make them longer and not as steep.

Here is my set up, these are older pictures, the left side is now a 2x5 on the bottom. I have a boar and two sows on the left side and a boar and three sows on the right (neutered of course).

Wow I love the hay rack idea! Thanks

There’s some wonderful set ups there and some very lucky piggies.
Mine is a 5x2 with a 2x2 extension for 4 sows

Wow I love the hay rack idea! Thanks

I actually use these small plastic laundry basket for hay now (bonus cute picture of Elsa). I was having to fill up the hay racks a few times a day and these baskets I can load up!

This is my cage, just after I had built it and moved in my three (my original boar and 2 just adopted sows).
It's a 5x3 c&c sitting on an old extended dining table, so I don't have to bend my old knees to get down to clean it etc

So awesome! I wish I would have done longer narrower cages.

These cages are awesome. I wish I could fit in a C&C cage

This is such a good idea! I might steel this, I have problems with Willow (and now Honey) jumping into my hayracks, they're over the door storage basket things, and because they're metal I worry about them hurting themselves, this is a great alternative!

I also zip ties the baskets to the grids on the side so they don’t flip them over.

Excuse the mess in some of the photos, it was before poop scoop I have a 4x2 with a 1x1 hay room add on, and a 1.5x2 loft, housing 2 sows

How often does everyone spot clean? I clean my boys out daily and then do a quick spot clean before bed x

Poop pick up/hay&pellet fill every morning
Straighten up/poop pick up if needed/fresh water/veggies evening(beforehand bed) and then full change out every 4-7 days, recently with Honey being on medication, her poops have become softer and so get trodden around the cage so I'm full changing every 3 or 4 days
