How high?

[lindsay7]

Hi we have finished our piggy shed today just a few finshing touches to do curtains etc. Pics to follow as it was dark when we got finished even though its fully lit in there it will be better to take some pics when its daylight.

The piggies will be able to run around the shed floor in the day, we have a mesh divider to split the girls from the boys its 24 inches high is this high enough to stop the boys getting over into the girls? Obviously no houses or toys will be put next to the divider for them to climb over on.

one of my boars actually climbs mech to get to girls, he got over 2', so try 2.5 - 3'

Hi Lindsay,

I think that would be enough. I had 12 inches seperating mine and it was never a problem. But now my boys are bigger it had to be a bigger fenced area!

Hope the pigs like it!

It's the girls who get a bit flirty when they're in season in my experience! So keep your eye on them too! Mine pushed two pigloo's up to Ralfies cage and were attempting escape ;D

ROFL Emma, they are clever! And also my boys escaped through not climbing but gnawing their way out. They hid the hole with hay! So just be careful and double check at the joins just incase. Thankfully my boys and girls were in 2 different pens and couldn't get to one another. But I'm sure that some pigs could go info the Cavy Olympics!

Today i had Rosie and the pups in the play area in front room and romeo was in his house making a fuss cos he could hear/smell them.... i went upstairs for a sec and came back to find a cheeky romeo standing on the armchair next to his house (deep wooden box) he had used his nest bed to climb out and scramble over the edge, it was so funny to see his little face!

I don't know. There would be stiff competition for things, pole vaulting and high jump in paticular ;D

one of my piggies got up a sheer 24'' divide (it was ply wood) it really surprised me and, the icing on the cake, was that the top had like a two inch gap...nothing else like that has happened again but still
