Okay here are my photos - I will have more as we are remodelling the C&C right now. Giving Orson a section and adding a small hay loft in there.

So first the Rabbit 150's loft

It's been a wheeking success - they have spent most of today up there bless them. I'm hoping it acts like a giant litter tray and I don't have to clean out the bottom floor so often (currently a full clean every other day). You can see Mork and Gypsy in there in the one pic.


Next my one and only photo of Orson - he's shy at the moment but not shy like some of them I have had. He comes out when it gets a little bit quiet - he doesn't wait for you to be out of site and lights off like some of my others have.

He looks like this girl Lola

He's a titch compared to those ones though!
 
AWWW - Orson is a little sweetie! x)x)x)

I love you hayloft! It's great!
 
What great hay lofts! Very smart and neat.

Orson looks very sweet and he is a mirror image of lola. :))
 
Orson is the cutest! Bless him, give him big snuggles! The hay loft I love it looks fab great work :)!
 
Hayloft looks great. We have just bought a Trixie 150 and are going to try to copy!

Orson is very sweet :)

Did yours come with the grid ledge? That's what we have lined with correx and we changed the ramp as that was geared for buns too.

Yes we have that bit that we can't do anything with unless we adapt it! I saw on another thread that you were going to be adapting yours so have been keeping an eye on you!


Also, we can't work out how to put the white/opaque igloo type thing together :(
 
AHH ha that took me ages and one day I got a eureka!

The grid thing is not needed at all. That would be for bunnies. So discard that for starters.

Then the two pieces left slot together to form an enclosed igloo. Orson is using it at the moment I have lined it with newspaper and a layer of hay to make it warm for him.

The grid thing would fit inside to allow the bunny to sit on that and the wee / poo would go through the bars and be kept away from the bun.

I can take a photo of it if my explanation isn't clear.

Thanks I will have another go tomorrow. I thought it might be a toilet but wanted to use it as a hidey-hole. I was trying to put it together without the grid and wondered if that was why it wouldn't work!
 
That hayloft is great. Your piggies look chuffed.

And Orson is adorable x) So cuuuuute
 
Looks good Lisa! I need to make a loft for Mr Mushnik and Seymour in the 120.

I've not been on much this week - Who is Orson?? He's a cutie! Have I missed something?

Hope you and the fam are well xx

We're all okay thanks. Looking forward to a quiet time over xmas! Hope you're all okay and the babies are getting bigger.

Yes Orson - very very very unplanned. But he's now settling down in his space next to the girls. he seems very bemused and they seem very huge next to him.
 
He is the one of the cutest piggies I have seen for a while love your other photos as well, congratulations on rescuing that little guy
 
Any pig in Orson's situation would be hard to walk away from, but Orson really is a beautiful boy! I totally understnad why he is now home with you. I couln't hve resisted either...

The loft looks great! Hope Mork figures it out how to use the ramp soon :)
 
He's done it - seems he didn't like the darkness of it. We cut a skylight in and he was fine. Silly thing.
