Just wanna post my C&C cage set up :(|) I have my 2 piggies in this (well sort of... my neutored boar lives in this at the moment and my possibly pregnant sow joins him for closely supervised playtime at the moment before retireing to her own Nero 3 when we can not watch them both). They will both be in this together just as soon as the Sow is past her due date and the pups, if any, have arrived.

apologies if the quality isn't great, they are off my phone ....

I got some great advice on here about the ramp, which I then adapted to my needs.

The ramp is 2 grid squares bent into an "L" shape (by bending very carefully over your knee as they can snap otherwise, luckily mine worked first time)...

... I then cable tied a piece of correx to it long ways on the bit they were to walk on and stuck correx "rungs" onto it....

... I then made a ramp cover out of the fleece I use to line the cage and this ties onto the ramp with fleece ties wrapped round the back. I am considering changing the design of the ramp cover slightly so that it sticks on with velcro.

The cage is lined with fleece and I cut and hemmed 2 sets so I have one for the cage and one for wash day. They are LOVING it so far.

I have actually added a couple more litter trays, regular cat litter trays with a small amount of shavings and their dry food in (in a bowl obviously) . This has helped ALOT with weeing on the fleece. The upstairs igloo is also IN one of the 2 cat litter trays

This has given me an idea as most of the weeing on vet bed happens in my piggies beds! Wonder if I can put them in cat litter trays with carefresh in? Hmmm.... may have to have a think and try out a couple of things!
 
exactly ... thats why I put the igloo in it as they wee loads there
