Thought I would add my new cage.... it's divided in two for the moment until the quarantine period is over.

love your set up miss piggy, wish i had space for c&c cages too
 
It's not been easy beleive me! Although my dad built it for me he's not impressed! He keeps offering my boyfriend money to take me away!

They seem to like it though and it will be much better when the divider comes down.

Next job on the list is an outdoor run for them!
 
I would really love my piggies to have the pleasure of being outside for a while on good days but as I live in a multistorey flat its impossible. :'(

I could bring them to a friends house and use her garden as they have already said I could make a pen up there but I think the boys might get a bit stressed travelling or am I being a silly mummy :-\
 
It depends how long the journey is, when i take mine to the vets (other side of town) they are fine, I put a towel in the carrier for them to sit on, and a large piece of newspaper for them to hide under, no probs. Keep windows open a little bit if you haven't got air con.
 
I agree with maisy. My two seem fine on short journeys but I think it really depends on your pig. It would be worth it for a couple of hours of run time but would probably say it's not worth the upset if it's on for a short space of time.
 
i love all these C & C cages, they look great and i am sure the piggies love them

me and my other half are planning to make one for our 2 boys, just getting the grids is rather hard at the moment but i will keep at it, i dont really wont to end up paying a fortune having them shipped from the US

i hope to make a 3 x 2 with an upper floor, would really like a 4x2 but i am not sure if there will be the room.

i wish pet shops would stock the C & C materials but i suspose then no one would want to buy theirs neros etc

its really nice to see people really care about their animals and supply them with as much space as possible :D
 
love them love them love them

Brilliant cages!
 
Miss Piggy how did you get your water bottles through the mesh? did you make a little hole

this was one thing that put me off getting mesh grids but maybe i am changing my mind now :-\
 
If you have an old cage take one the opening of it and it should hang over the grid and you can attach a bottle. I have done this on the right side of my grid part of the cage (you can sorta see the top of the bottle)

Sorry not been online for a while!

The spout of the water bottle does fit but you have got to force it a little at first. Once you have done it it gets easier to put in and out everyday.

It is a bit of a pain at first and to be honest when I bought them I didn't realise they were mesh but you can tell which hole you use easily and I find that it is a lot easier to get them at the best height for your pigs as in my other cage it was either too high or too low.
 
Beths_piggies.... where did you get your hay rack... I really need one!! The only ones I can find have a stupid but sticking out for a mineral stone.

I got it at Kennlegate Pet Supplies, it's made by Trixie
 
just wondering would it be ok to make a c&ccage for a single guinea? i have all boars and unfortunately have never managed to fully bond them. they play together in the run but they all have seperate living areas as they just won't share their space.
 
Of course it is :)

I have my pregnant sow in a C+C cage by herself... and I have my 2 boars in a C+C cage together :)

Maybe you could make a C+C cage big enough for 2, but seperate it into 2 so they can each have half? Just a suggestion :)
 
I originally was going to build one for my single boar but then I decided to get him a friend. They have been side by side for a week or so now (he was neutered only a few weeks ago) and I think it works really well as the can fully interact with each other. I'm not sure you would get the full effect if they were in 2 cages side by side.

I think the minimum for a sinle pig is about 3x2 grids (each grid is about a foot) but please anyone correct me if I'm wrong!
 
I have my 2 boars in a 2x3... its only temporary... but Cindy is in a 2x2 until she has the bubs...
I agree... a single pic should at least have a 2x2 or 2x3
 
Same here BW.... Spike is in a 3x2 and Buffy a 2x2 until they can live together. In hindsight Spike is smaller so it should have been the other way round but Buffy doesn't move much in her cage whereas Spike runs rings around his!
 
bet they cant wait to get altogether!
