god I love these cages - do you fancy coming round mine and making me some :)
 
Here is my 2 girlies hutch. These photo's were taken in the summer but they now have a hutch snuggle and bottle snuggle and also more toys on the wire mesh of the hutch :) I would prefer to have my girlies indoors but it isn't possible. They are however kept warm and dry and seem to like their set up xx

Evening everyone,

I love the design, very stylish :-).
 
This is Pippa and Willow's pad

Taken when we first took delivery of it. Murdock decided it was quite a good place to take a snooze!

and this is the plaque we added to the door :))

They also have a run which is collapsible (and so isn't really worth photographing! :))

Thanks, I got the design from an website which i think was proposed for rabbits. Making it has been much more difficult than i thought!

There are some awesome hutches on here.......you guys have some imagination!

I have now chosen a colour scheme for the outside. I'm going for blue with a red roof.
 
Here are my hutches, I'd love it if mine could have sheds and great hutches/cages like all of yours are but I can't at the moment.

I bought 2 hutches and a run off ebay and they sent 2 runs so it was quite handy :)

I have 2 guinea-pigs in the little hutch in the corner, one boar in the hutch opposite it, 2 boars in the hutch next to the little hutch and 3 sows in the hutch opposite that (I hope that makes sense :)))

Sorry about the state of the grass, I'm moving all the hutches and runs soon because the guinea-pigs have eaten most of the grass!

Everyones pictures look really cool, I especially love pompypigs C&C setup!
Well, unfortunatly I can't post pictures :0 because I used to take pictures of my girls everyday but now I can't because something happened to the camera and they all got deleted! I was so angry! Anyway I'm a bit tight at the moment so can't afford another camera...but my friend might get me one for xmas so you'll have to wait till then.
To give you an idea, its a 4x4 C&C cage with two snuggle sacs, a pigloo, a log tunnel and a cardboard box in it! I use nice pink fleece for bedding too x)
Thanks for listening to me rambling on (I'm such a chatterbox!) so sorry for the long post!
 
We just moved our two pigs inside as it was getting too cold here (-1 overnight) and I'm a big softie so talked the other half into letting them come inside haha Anyway, we cant fit the hutch into the room so we got this http://http://www.glenkrag.com/cheeko09/product.php?recordID=725 it takes up a huge corner of the room but they seem to like it so far. I think it will take them a week or so to get used to it cos obviously its not the hutch they are used too. But at least this way they are warm, have more room and I can sleep at night :)

edit - It appears that link doesnt work, so I will post a picture of it instead.
 
Here it is -
cheeko.jpg
its twice the size of their outside hutch!

It has a detachable roof and base so it can go on the grass. It has a hole for the water bottle and two doors on the side aswell. I'm very pleased with it :)
 
May I be so bold as to enquire as to home much it cost? only I was thinking of getting something similar for our wee doggie for the caravan awning.

By the way I love it and I'm sure your piggies will to.
 
That one cost me 69 Euro. If you type in "cheeko easy up playpen" on google and click on the first result it takes you to their website and there is a whole page of them. They do ones that are a rectangle shape which I think are designed for dogs :D

oh and when it takes you to the page you need to choose "easy up" from the options across the top.
 
Claire w- I just wanted to warn you that there have been a few people who's pigs have become stuck in those sorts of hayracks but you can get clip ons to make it safe. I just wanted you to know, incase you wanted to get the clipons to make it safer as they can be a problem to some people ^_^

Heres my hutch I built a couple of months ago for my pigs
its 6x3ft and has 3 floors but I only have pics of two of the floors.

Middle floor (the hutch is made out of recycled wood so thats why the rafters at the top look a little strange, theyre dry and strong, just old)

Another side view

I dont have a pic of the top floor (I did but I cant find it), its basically a corridor leading up to an open comercial hutch filled with lots of bedding and heated ^_^

Also I change the things in the hutch around every week so thats why things are in different places in the pics ^_^

Oh wow all the set - ups are incredible! :) I'm too embarrassed to post mine now! :red They live in a 4x2ft hutch and have a 4x3ft run and a few toys. I'm hoping to give them the best birthday present though and that's when i'll post pics! I'm going to buy loads of pink acsessories and decorate their cage. You know... a pink bed, pink chew toys, pink jingle balls. I might even get fleece if i can litter train them! :))
 
Floor heights for piggies & advice on cage?

Hi all!
I am new to this forum and currently have 5 piggies (4 female and 1 neutered male).
We have built various pens for them over the last couple of years as they live indoors, but have finally got a permanent one built.
As it stands, it's currently like a large table (if you can picture that) but with sides, and an open top (to let the air in in Summer and I cover it with a blanket in Winter to keep them snug). The front, and one of the sides, is all perspex so they can see out and get some light. There are currently 2 levels. The bottom is a kind of pull out 'drawer' (also with perspex front and left 'pulled out' till bedtime) which is not very high at all, but they love sleeping down there as it's warm and filled with hay. The second floor has all their snugs on inc vet bed etc and then there is a ramp up to a small mezzanine floor with a house on if someone wants solitude.
The floor sizes are: 5ft wide x just under 3ft deep and there are currently 2 of them.
I can, very easily, put another floor in, which I wanted to do because I am considering getting another baby piggy. The thing is, where I have put the current rests for the new floor (when I built it), it only leaves about 7 1/4" (185mm) for the height of the second floor. Is this too low?
If it is, then I could make it higher but would just have to slip some perspex over the roof so they couldn't jump out the back!

I haven't taken any pics of it as new yet. but I will do soon.
 
Wow this thread is amazing, lucky piggies! My poor pigs house look so boring and small compared, but they are upgrading soon...

they do get lots of outside cage time.

Like I said, I was looking through this thread for ideas.
 
This is home for our two piggies Spike and Stripes, we found the shelves from an old plastic green house make great fences plus bed slats which we got from IKEA, just £4 for loads of wood, just one slat broken, bargain!

I noticed you mentioned that those green metal hay racks are dangerous. I have them in both my cages and they are always falling off and it does worry me. Do you know where I can get a safer one and what a safer one looks like?

Thanks x

I'd love to have cages like you have! Only problem is I have 3 dogs and a rodent stalking cat. I'll get pictures up on Thread in a few wheeks when It's finished, I'm going to create my own little piggy mansion, it's (hopefully rolleyes) going to be 18 square foot for three piggies, I'm doing this because Patch is being neutered to go in with the girls. It's (hopefully rolleyes ) goin to be done in about 4 wheeks because Patch is having his operation one Monday 2nd February 2010.

This is the thread where I've put the deigns.
 
This is my piggies mansion as my mum calls it! lol

Three little pigs live here and hopefully no wolves are coming visiting as it has no roof!

OMG! THat is brilliant! Do the piggys like the litter tray with hay in? DO they like the cloth over the top of the cage?
\
It really is brilliant!:):)

Hiya :)) Thanks! They do like the litter trays - they sleep in them and it gives them some exercise when they hop over the sides! I think it's important to have the cloth over the top - makes them feel secure. If they get spooked they always run under there.

I can't wait to make it one giant cage and see them altogether - 2 weeks to go!
 
I've another 5 wheeks till my new mansion is done, Patch's operation went well, he is eating pooping, peeing, drinking and walking around as though nothing as happened. I'mr really glad it went well. Now he has no crown jewels I've just to wait till he can go with the girlies!

It goes very quickly the 6 weeks. I'm on a week to go now. Poor Mr Quin is going to have a heart attack when I finally unleash the girls!
Glad Patch's op went well :))
