Well ,they've been with us since new years eve and have settled in just great! We have just modified their cage a little to give them a bit more floor space and I'm hoping it will be ok for them until they are a little older/bigger.


Anyway here's some pics of our little rascals!

They are all gorgeous and I am loving the cage x)x).

I think they will need bigger once the boys hit the hormones, have you thought about C & c?
 
very very cute just love the first pic! think this thread needed a glynis warning! :))
 
oooowwww, a hammock, I like that idea :) Think I may try and set one of those up in my new cage.

I like how you have made an extra level for them but I bet it won't be long until you have to upgrade :) They grow FAST! hehe

They are adorable piggies. I bet you're going to have a lot of fun with those cheeky boys.
 
Hi, yes i thought the cage would eventually need to be bigger. They are currently situated on top of my dogs 42" crates, so i have space for something 2x longer and aver a foot wider. Only problem i have is 4 very determined cats who at the moment are on constant piggy watch, so if i make a c&c cage it needs to be extremely kitty proof!

They seem real happy for now and we are letting them have a good 4 hours free running in the living room on a night :)
 
What a lovely trio and a god set-up!

I agree that you will need more space in time (as lots of space seems to be a key factor in how stable your boy group is), but at least you have some time to look around and think about possible designs.
 
They are beautiful, but yep before they hit the hormonal stage definately need to get them in to roomier quarters ;) that cage looks great though love the hammock and second floor great innovation.
 
Simon really does look like he's having a right good laugh in that first picture. They are all very cute.
 
They are gorgeous! They look so friendly, I love the facial expressions! x)

I like the hammock too, I would give it a go if I had the room!
 
Awww bless them! x) They are adorable and i love their names! :<> I have the same bowl for my piggies. :(|) I just have a question though? Is the brown one called Theodore? I thought it was the brown one but when there was a picture of him in the hammock you said: "Alvin's pleased with his hammock". ;) x

ooops- yes it is Theodore in the hammock, not Alvin! Must have been having a blonde moment lol!

Thanks for the lovely comments everyone, we are very proud of our new piggies :)
 
They are gorgeous! i just love the first pic,you must feel so luck to have such photogenic pigsx)

I must agree on the bigger cage,they ideally need 2-3 times that size,mine have 2 x 5 C&C cages, I'm also a keen lover of trios and am presently bonding my second trio.
My advice is though they need alot of room and can be very delicate particuarly when they are all roughly the same age like yours are,i usually go for a daddy figure with two baby aged pigs because it makes for more stable pairing.
Its highly likey your boys will have big dominance issues so to reduce the risk the cage should be massive;)
 
I'm so jealous you can have 3! and they are just soooo gorgeous x), I'm even more jealous!

If you wanted to go down the C&C route for later, you could always use the spare grids as a roof of sorts to minimise feline threats. Failing that, what about Chicken wire/mesh cabletied to the top? I can't quite come up with a 'door' solution to access piggies, though, but mybe other members may contribute?
