After Claire's thread wanting to see other people's sheds :)) here are some pics of my little rescue set up:

My shed is 8' x 6' - when I bought it I didn't have any rescues!
The main hutch block is a Punchard, 2 blocks of 6 on top of each other. Each level can be split if needed, but mine are all open, so 6' x 2' per level. The bottom level is completely open into the sow pen

The other block is 4' x 2, 3 levels

It has been knocked through since this pic to make 3 good size hutches rather than 6 too small ones!

Underneath this is the extension to the sow pen

The 2 parts of the sow pen have a tunnel between them

TBC.....
 
Dinner time in the sow pen:

Outside I have an 8' hutch that is used for a group of pigs in summer, but currently is the bunny day time accommodation:

In my kitchen I have 3 large indoor cages, the bottom is on stand, the others stack. I then have 2 small indoor cages on top of my puppy crate

Ideally I only have one pair of indoor pigs

In my lounge I have a playpen for bonding and for people to meet their potential adopted pigs

For summer I have various runs that have been begged and borrowed (Freecycle!) or come in with pigs:

If other rescues would like to add their pics, I'm sure we all like to be nosey!

hiya Sophie! It all looks fab! One question though, where did you get your indoor cages from? How many pigs are they ok for?

They are only ok for 2 pigs, they were donated so I'm not sure where they came from!

There is a 120cm one on Zooplus but it's still only really ok for a pair. There are not many indoor cages suitable for more than that, unless you adapt them :)
 
What a fantastic set up! Wish I had the space to be able to do something like this. Looks brill x

It's the ferplast 120 then! I've got a ferplast 100 as a hospital cage incase any of them have to be seperated for any reason.
 
Thats a brilliant set up! How many piggies have you at the moment?
When you feed the veggies do you put them in bowls or just around the cage?
I'll try and get some pics taken of my cages:)
 
Sophie if i come back as a piggy i want to come back as one of your's or Laura's(ccc4):)):)):)):))

My camera battery is refusing to charge at the moment, so will try and take some from my phone later.
 
Fab set up and lovely pics. Must keep you so busy.
I notice you have a seagrass tunnel in one of your pics. Can I just ask if they're easy to keep clean. I wanted to get some but my girls have a tendency to pee in anything tunnel like.
Thanks, Sharon. x
