Some good some not so good but lots of guineas anyway.

First here is Mork this morning on my daughters lap looking cute

He's such a laid back and really sweet guinea who doesn't object to any kind of stroking, not like my girls they flick you off all the time.

Next I had to join in the new fleece brigade as mine are all one colour and I felt boring! So I have bought new fleeces and did all cages out in it. Here is the c&c cage photos with the new fleece

This is the top floor before they went in - observe how clean and tidy it is. Looks NOTHING like this now! All food is given on this floor only and all hay is eaten while they are inside a litter tray. The hay in the litter tray is really cheap soft hay (it's called FAB hay has anyone tried it?) and they love it as much as all the other hays I give them.

Everyone is inside and they ran about for ages checking out all the different floors and the new fleece.

This is Charlie checking things out. This is the middle floor and it has 4 hideys in it. Most of them sleep here all together in one corner.

Here's sizzles sleeping in the cosy armchairs. I have only put one of them in this cage so far - today they have both so I hope to get a photo of 2 of them chilling side by side soon.
 
Here are the others enjoying the new fleece in their cage too

I can't wait to put them together and add the upstairs. Mork doesn't have much room right now. Still wont be long until they can all live together

And Gypsy on the new fleece

And here is a photo of the girls in the run while I was cleaning the cage out. I put the Primark bag in - there are 4 of them in this bag munching hay!

I am so jealous you have some spoiled pigs :)! Love it... Ssh don't let my two see they will want to live with you! Mork is fab and so are the girls I can't wait till they all get to be good friends x)x)
 
What a lovely bunch! Mork is a very handsome boy - what lucky girls!xoxo
 
The photos were well worth waiting for. Such beautiful happy loking piggies. Love the fleece. I Love the piggie snoozing in the armchair. Brilliant!
 
The armchairs are a bargain - less than a fiver delivered!

Sizzles sleeps in that chair all the time it's her chill place.

Mork is such a stud, he is constantly showing off to the girls and they think he's amazing, its so funny!

Sarah got any photos of it in your cage?
 
Your piggys look VERY happy and very SPOILT! Love your new fleece and my fave pictures is the piggy in the armchair she/he looks so chilled out.
 
Where did you get your material for the cage? It's a C&C cage isn't it, if thats what they are called? I found an american website asking for $80-$120 for all the materials and shipping... but I'm sure I could do it from England right? I'd love to build my guinea pig a cage as big as the wall in this room.

I got the grids from Costco by me - it's a three storey cage so it used alot of grids. They were £10 a pack and I bought 3 packs. I know you can get them from ebay. They are called creative cubes.

Then the Correx that makes the base I got from a local signmakers. Where we kept making it bigger and bigger we have joined different coloured pieces which doesn't look the best so make it as big as you possibly can before you start. But if you ring a few signmakers and ask them prices - they do vary. But it should be much cheaper to make a huge c&c than to buy a cage. My rabbit 150 and stand cost £165 and the much bigger c&c probably cost about £50. I needed a cage on a stand for the others or I would have made another c&c. But I need to be able to move them room to room as and when we have guests. Also I can't move my C&C out of my living room without dismantling it first!
 
Lovely piggies and what a great setup!

I'm sure that neither Mork nor the girls can wait!
 
Your piggies are luck to have you! They are so cute and your cage is amazing!
 
I don't think I've seen photos of Mork before, he is stunning. Hope he is recovering well now?

I was thinking of ordering that brown bed last week - looks a good size. Is it easy to wash and dry?
 
He is doing good now thanks. Was off his food for a few days but the appetite has returned now. He spends more time in his igloo at the moment but wont be long now until he's in with the girls. How is your guinea recovering?

The bed isn't very popular with my girls. Don't know why. I have left it in there for ages now and finally they are starting to sleep in it. Maybe as it's getting colder? It washes beautifully and I generally finish it off in the tumble dryer after letting it almost dry in the air. The 5 minutes in the tumble dryer fluff it back up beautifully and it looks new again.
 
Gorgeous piggies Lisa, and I'm loving the fleece too! The cosy chairs are fab, aren't they? I only have one between my 12, most of them do like it though so I guess I'll have to stock up at some point. rolleyes

What size sign card would you think would be best, do they come in sizes or can I just measure the space and ask the sign makers for that size? Thanks =]
 
I love the new fleece, its really funky! Mork is a real stunner, I'm sure the ladies will be head over heals over him once they're introduced.
