So I have finally decided to turn my box room into a pig room for my ladies and their soon to be husboar. I will be going out today to get fleece and towel for the run and their hutch will be coming into the room with their run taking up most of the room so they can be out all the time (unless we have Mario out for free range time which means they will be in their hutch :) ) Can't wait! *squee*.

I have loved having my girls outside but I am finding it increasingly difficult to clean the hutch outside because of my knee's and arthritis and also the weather has started turning already. The plan was to bring them in for winter, we've just decided they are going to be house pigs full time, that way they can always have run space :)
 
Yes the hutch will be their residence, plenty of space for it in the room. Then they will have their run attached and a shelf stack at the side for their things :)
 
Hopefully some time over winter I will be getting my C&C block's depending on how much easier it is for me to deal with the hutch inside, as because of my condition easier is better. If the hutch works out ok inside with sweeping out etc where I don't have to crawl on my hands and knee's too much then it will stay :)
 
Hopefully should be done by the end of the day :) We've got some things to do this morning but it is our task for the rest of the afternoon :)
 
Lucky you and lucky guinea pigs.

I wish I could keep mine indoors. I love C&C set ups.
 
Sounds like a plan.... :yahoo:

Piggy room.... :luv:
 
Yeahy piggie room. Good luck with the set up. Exciting times ahead.
 
My girls have their own room in large c&c cages.I have fibromyalgia and possible arthritis in my knees so it has to be easy for me so I have a ground sheet then incontinence pads then fleece.Have litter trays that I clean out every two days .I can sit in my cages so don't have to bend too much.Have smaller towels and fleece that get changed every two or three days and the main fleece gets changed once a week.Works great for me.If you are using a rin this could be a way for you to do it as the run will keep the fleece down.You can just lift the fleece out and shake it .
 
Ok here is it all done :) Need a few toys for the run, the ladies aren't too sure about the fleece but they will get used to it. Mario (in the top temporary cage until he's neutered) is very excited because he can hear and smell the ladies! Turned into a completely different piggy :) So glad they are in and warm and dry :)

Thankyou :) The whole room is now a piggy room. The shelves in the corner have all their stuff on and the pop up purple laundry basket is filled with loose hay for refilling their racks :)
 
Wow looks amazing Ruth, :yahoo:Well done must of been a hard work setting it all up again, I love the pic of Mario smelling the air...brilliant photo. I bet your ladies are thinking what has she done to the grass ha ha :D . Are you going to put fleece in their hutch once their used to it. I could message you the person I got mine from so you can have a look he does all sorts :)
