...for Ollie and Tallulah. They currently have a 4x2 space, a 3x2 fleecy area with a 1x2 hay area added on the side... but piggy daddy and I were just watching them enjoying some cardboard boxes in the playpen and we had this coversation...
Me: "Tallulah is loving that box, maybe we should let her take it home to the cage?"
Piggydaddy: "but Ollie has been loving his haycube this week, if he tips it over he popcorns, I love it when Ollie popcorns..."
Me: "its a shame they dont have space for both, as well as their fleecy tunnels and hay... unless..."
Piggydaddy: "that set of drawers is completely wasted space, we could get rid of it and extend the hayroom..."
Me: "or... we could lose that set of coffee tables too and extend out as well as to the side... I mean, who uses coffee tables?"
Piggydaddy: "Ollie says yes, he just twitched his ears and did a happy little hop, we dont need all this hooman furniture."
Me: "on the CandC cages website now..."
So we're going to replace the 1x2 hayroom with a 3x2 cage, set 1 grid off from the existing 3x2 C&C area to fit round the awkward alcove and the radiator :)
I wanted to order today but we are out being festive this week so we'll order next weekend, hopefully get all extended sometime in January :) I do really love my husband, he is sooo on the same page as me regarding piggies taking over the house! :)
 
This is what we did in May. All furniture that we don't use anyway were thrown out and the piggies now have a better space for their house. Not that they really need a bigger one coz they are free roaming in the living room. 😁 We do all have a little bit bigger space now when the furniture was gone. 👍
 
It’s great when you have that rapport with your partner in life. I am so lucky that mine drives the 600 mile round trip for Ted’s dentals. I know I would really struggle if I had to do it on my own 😁 He is such a lovely man x
 
Eek how exciting.

I also have a fabulous husband who is as mad as me with animals. He bought me my own mini fridge for the animal veg and doesn’t mind (or at least doesn’t seem to..) the whole house getting taken over by our animals!

Hehe that's good! My boyfriend has been complaining about the drinks fridge/his beer fridge getting taken over by the guinea pigs food! Xx
 
Brilliant conversation. I am getting some pink correx and cage liners and loft correx and liner from kavee. Already got a load of white grids.

Going to be moving bedrooms soon and the squiglings will be moving from the spare room in with me. Also 2 rabbits, 2 hamsters (in sep cages) and the 4 mice!
