I have three indoor piggies who I would love to have running round, at the moment they get put in the bathroom everyday to roam about. However this not only causes problems when we want to use the bathroom, but it also means we have to get them out and I want them to be able to come and go as they please. We don't have a lot of space so a collapsible or something I can take apart would be brilliant. Any ideas that would be appreciated.

Also I'm in the Netherlands so it either has to be shippable or parts I can pick up easily.

Thanks :)
 
I do not know about the netherlands for the sites i use, but have you tried ebay? or making a c&c cage?
depending on the type of indoor cage you have and how big it is, is it not an option to just remove the top and put it outside? (if it is a wire top, you can use it as a run)

Unfortunately we don't have a garden or any outside access in our current place.

I don't know what c&c stands for :red

I'm trying to find something to build round their house, to make it a bed area and give them all more space as their getting older and a lot bigger.
 
Hmm. You could try a puppy run? I've seen those in pet shops in the Netherlands and you could join two together around your piggie's house to create a run? C&C might be a bit expensive to ship and it wouldn't be worth paying for it if you can get the same result using metal puppy runs. You can collapse those too so you can store them away when needed!
 
This run is FAB!

I got it when it was in the sale a month or so ago and the panels can be used as a hexagonal type pen or they can be used as a gate.

I use it for my buns which are indoor at the moment but their cage is quite small for them both. I have quite a large kitch so they have their cage filled with hay and then a massive section of the kitchen cordoned off. I change it every few days to spice things up a little! Hehe.

I have also done the same for my two piggys Alan and Barry until they went back outside a couple of weeks ago. They loved it too and is very safe and secure!

I know you said you don't have an outdoor area but just so I know I have said it I'd never use it as an outdoor run!

This would be perfect for you and well worth the money!
 
I got one of these from Zooplus to make an indoor run for my piggies:

Mine have a 2 storey hutch in the utility room, I use 3 of the sides of the run up against the hutch and open the lower doors so they can come and go as they please. I spread a fleece blanket under it to stop them skidding about on the floor! and to contain any hay, poos, etc, it gets shaken out at the end of the day, and washed in the machine when needed. They love it :).

And Zooplus appears to have a Netherlands online shop too, here: http://www.zooplus.nl/

Hope this helps!
