Hi everyone,

I am going to be moving house anytime from Saturday to the Saturday after depending on the council. What is the best way to prepare the boys for moving? I will have to demolish Pig Palace at least the night before as it's too big to take out in one piece.

I have their playpen, but it might be too big to fit anywhere whilst I'm moving boxes etc.
 
Hmm, we moved in February, it was a bit stressful for the piggies because they were in carriers, so I think the playpen is a good idea... hmmm isn't there a corner of a room you can put them in while your bringing the stuff in? Otherwise I can't think of anything apart from a pet carrier :/

Can someone take care of them for you while you move?
 
Good luck with your move. I hate moving , it's so unsettling. I'm sure you will do your best to ensure it's not too disruptive for your gps

There isn't anywhere for them to go as it's a house swap. So my stuff goes and there's comes in. It's so confusing! I could see about them going to Uncle James but I'd rather just move them at the same time as we are moving. If this makes any sense :zzz:

It really isn't fun, is it? Just hoping to have enough room in my current kitchen so that they can just get packed up at the end and sit on my knee. Thankfully it will only be a 5min ride. They hate being locked in as they free range. Going to have super angry piggies :))

They'll forgive you !
 
Thank you @VickiA

I'm hoping it goes well too, the boys will have more room so that may also help. Coriander is also a winner here :D

For some reason someone wants my poky bungalow :eek:
 
That's the boys in their playpen in old house kitchen until I move on Sunday. They are trying to chew their way out :( It just isn't safe to let them run around lots of boxes when I'm asleep. They've also knocked their water bottle down and it leaked so they only have puppy pads on the base now as there is no spare fleece :(

:D Pig sitting? lol They'll be ok; have finally calmed down!

We have I think 6 people to help so we should manage, thank you for your offer! :wub: :luv:

Will have to visit the Burntisland piggies once I move :D

Also won't be as embarrassed to invite people to see piggies since my bedroom and livingroom won't be the same room :D

It totally is! The last time I moved it was just a bedroom worth of stuff but now it's a whole house plus the boys. I just want to sleep lol

Have bus pass now so can get through. Have been hiding away because my neighbours are awful and depression set in. Getting back on track now :)
 
Glad all has gone well. Hope to see some photos of the boys setup when you get chance, I bet they think they are little furry kings of their castle.

Enjoy your new home x
 
I'm not even sorted after 8 months lol.. we moved to a smaller property so finding places to put things has been a mission and getting rid of stuff we don't really need. Plus trying to get the council to do repairs which I've now ended up complaining about.

Nice to hear your boys have a nice big cage :D

Thanks Lee! I have invited you to their facebook page. They honestly act like they own the place, it's crazy. Sir Piggies.
 
Glad your move went ok - I am going to put myself up on the swop list in a couple of years time - want some bigger rooms - not looking forward to it mind.

I wish you luck :)

It took me 3 attempts to finally get a swap. The person I ended up swapping is the son of a lady who turned me down earlier in the year :)
