Their first Carrot Cottage

[Big Sky Piggies]

This is the first time the piggies have had a Carrot Cottage. They were trying to get at it even before I had fully removed the cellophane wrapping. I get the impression that they like it ....

Mine haven't had carrot cottages for ages, need to get some!

Mine love theirs too and have made the important renovations like making the door bigger and started making holes in the corners. They don't seem to have realised the roof is made of carrot though.. so that's still fully intact!

I really baulked at spending almost £10 (ebay) on a cardboard box covered in glue, which is why, at 11 months old, this is our poor deprived piggies' first one. It is mentioned so much on this forum that I thought it probably wouldn't be wasted money. I checked in on them earlier and they were so busy with that cottage that they *forgot it was nuggets time* I would have completely got away with not giving them any had I not accidentally clinked something!

We buy a carrot cottage and 2 large haycubes every month on Amazon subscribe and save, its a big saving like under £6 for a haycube and under £7 for the carrot cottage... and they never get bored of them- plus they can play in and eat the Amazon cardboard delivery boxes too if you take the tape off!

Win win.

@PigglePuggle Lucky piggies! Does all this only last them a month though? How many do you have? I was hoping their carrot cottage might last a little longer ... but perhaps not given the structural modifications that have already occurred in a day and a half. And yep, I’ve also saved the cardboard box it came in!

I really want to buy one for my pigs but they are about $30 over here in Australia! I can never bring myself to buy it at that price! And they don’t even have the carrot roof is just a grass/hay roof!

We have 8 piggies, the main herd of 6 can make a haycube or carrot cottage last at least a couple of weeks, but mad little naked skinny pig Tallulah and her husband can eat a whole one in 3 days!
