Housecleaning All Done For Today

[MariaLovesPiggies]

Not sure which of my piggies had the party last night, but there was hay all over their kitchen this morning! Of course, both looked innocent during the interrogation and no one admitted anything. Not a problem; their house is all put back with fresh fleece, water, and kibble ... sans hay on the floor! Here are the before and after pictures!

Haha this made me smile! Cheeky piggies. Cuties pies!

Aww bless them! Do they ever jump out of there? My girl Mabel is half cricket I swear... She can hop over anything..

 

[MariaLovesPiggies]

They never jump out, unless we encourage it (which we don't very often) but they always jump back in. So after floor time, they just go home. It's handy.

... And so the burrowing begins

 

[Goth Mummy]

I really like your cage, did you build it yourselves? Or is it a repurposed bit of furniture? How high are the sides?

 

[MariaLovesPiggies]

It's the box that our patio gazebo came in. We still have the top half in case we need to replace it down the road. We've had this one two years and it's holding well. The sides are 19cm (7 1/2 inches) high.

Some pig has definitely been having a wild party

That's brilliant I love recyling and seeing people put up pictures of home made enclosures. Is it a cardboard box? Or wood?

It's a cardboard box.

It's lined with plastic, then a waterproof barrier and then a layer of chucks (blue hospital pads). We use enough layers of terry cloth and flannel and cotton with fleece on top to prevent the chucks from needing to be changed very often. It's in our living room so the piggies are with company all the time. Here is my view from the lazy boy where I a.m. enjoying my FIRST coffee of the day (this time change has wrecked my Sunday, haha. It's already 11:30!)

Mr. Lily is enjoying my apple core.

This burrowed bundle of fleece is Tyreese. He appears to have gone back to bed.

 

[piggyfan]

Aww hello cuties.

 

[Flutterby]

Aww they are lovely. Nice setup for them, lots of space.

Yes, they can run from the kitchen to the bedroom in no time and can get away from each other if someone's testosterone level gets too high!

 

[Maisy and Poppy]

Aww, adorable piggys.

Here is a video of Mr. Lily running home. I hope this works!

OK, going to try this one. I want to figure out which link to use so you can stay in the forum and not jump to Photobucket to view the video... Let's see what this one does...

Oh, that doesn't look good either. Hold on.
