How Big Of A Gap Can Piggies Get Under?

[MushiiPeas]

Hey guys,

I want my piggies to be able to run around the hole of my bedroom floor as the pen is too small for all six of them to play nicely but there is a 4.5cm gap as my bed base is on wheels, do you think the piggies could get under it?

Should i try and stuff it up with a blanket or something?

Thanks if Advance!

it depends on the size of your piggies haha i personally would say better safe than sorry, or use a strip of wood or cardboard to act like an extra skirting board, maybe do a head test with them? most rodents do the head test, if the skull fits through then the body can squeeze through if the skull can't fit then the animal can't fit?

Thanks for the reply, think I'll be blocking it with some cardboard just in-case!
