Their first Carrot Cottage

Blitzen fell asleep in a carrot cottage one night, when said carrot cottage was preventing Comet from making a new zoomies circuit. So Comet kept headbutting it out of his way and straight into Blitzen's backside, lol.

I swear the cottages were the only thing they never peed on. Or pooped on. Everything else, sure, but the carrot cottages were apparently sacred.

Merry would like to tell them that if they turn it over they can also make it into a boat. I'm not sure where he is going to sail to but he says he can pick them up on the way. .View attachment 145825

That's brilliant! It does look very different from ours... I'm sure Bianca would jump right in. Ophelia, I'm afraid, would probably decline the invitation.

As well as a boat it can be used as a toilet too!

I'm hoping not! At least it doesn't have a floor. When they were babies, they had the Rosewood Hay Cubes. I stopped buying them when we got to their third as they weren't at all interested in the hay, only nibbled the box a little, and instead used it for their toilet. A very soggy toilet. It was a pleasant surprise that they had litter-trained themselves but when they had grown so much that their bottoms hung over the edge when they weed, I decided that that was enough. With no more soggy boxes to squeeze into they un-litter-trained themselves. We just used to call them their toilet boxes. Doesn't have quite the same ring as 'Rosewood I Love Hay Cube'.
 
I bought two recently thinking chew-monster Gi would destroy them in days! Barely touched! Sticks to the wallpaper and carpet! :doh:Little :)) Aliona had a nibble but pretty much untouched! Think they’re too blooming spoilt these three!:))

The boys had 4 in the end, two on each side of the cage. And they used them as hideys so I never needed anything else for them "house" wise. Best purchases I ever made, lol.

I care you didn't know. Wilko stock them in for £6. But they seem to go out of stock fast
 
I'm not even sure where my nearest Wilko is - the only one I can think of is Ashton, and that's a fair distance for some carrot cottages heh. I got mine off Amazon. When I have guineas again it's going to be one of the first things I get.

One of the few times Blitzen would ever show his face was when he decided to start eating at the roof. But I'm derailing the thread again (sorry @KHBz , I'm really bad about that). You'll have to let us know how long they manage to make it last!
 
@KHBz . . . I used to worry so much about them munching and well generally attacking the carrot house and wow. . Now after reading and asking people it's ok etc and to a certain degree good for them. . :yahoo:

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!
