As some of you will be aware, as we go into this winter I have only2 piggies left not 5 :(

Truffle and Smudge seem happy together and although they are now rattling round in their hutch (2 floors and double depth) I wasn't planning on moving them to a smaller one, at least they can mooch round if they want to. And its what they know. Do you feel it would be beneficial to move them? I do have a smaller hutch with door one end (4' long) but they can't tuck themselves back away from the elements as much in there I feel.

Are there any heatable beds I can buy which are perhaps microwaveable yet suitable for piggies? Two small beds would be better than 1 large because they seem to sleep very separately.

I'd love to hear of anything you use
 
Snugglesafes are good, though they aren't beds as such. When warmed in the microwave they stay warm for several hours. I have two which I use for a semi feral cat in her kennel and in the real cold of winter, I change it over for her every 6 or 7 hours.
