:( Looks amazing but I think its better for rabbits.

I don't think pigs do vertical.. it would make a great hide but the transition between layers look like holes to stretch up and down between... no ramps.. if you can ramp it.. maybe... but i wouldnt risk it. also, pigs dont like twisting their spines, if they fell it could be pretty rough on them..

sorry to be a party popper! poop!

Great comments from Dusty_bugs as it is quite tall in real life.

May be stick with single cardboard boxes. Empty beer boxes stuffed with hay are a favourite with my piggies.
 
Pigmass! Tracey its still summer :))

But there is only 120 Days 8 hours till Pigmass..... Good point on the ramps Dusty Bugs. Maybe you could remove the ramps and just use it as one mega hidey with just ground floor? I would love to do this for Meg and see her little proud face poking out :)) Although it would be an expensive Folly. If I would the lottery I would get them one each in a huge run.... *dreams*

it must be hard work making those boxes empty eh? :)
 
I think you'd be far better doing your own thing with empty cardboard boxes. Lots of supermarkets have them near the checkout.

i reckon it would be perfect for kittens too. having 6 little ones who will be running around in a couple of weeks it may be handy for them:)

it was lovely to see you and Russ again too. tell your daughter she is welcome to come and visit anytime:)
i've just bought one for the kittens off amazon
 
I bought this for mine and they loved climbing in and out of the ground floor, but it is just a hole to get up the floors, and it's a big jump at that. I now use the turrets as tunnels, which they love much more!

even better!
 
I know a fellow user on here bought one for her piggies.

From what I recall they chewed the castle down so they eventually got to all of it anyway. Piggles are smart ;)
