Hi!

I'm new to the forum and in need of some advice.

My piggies have chewed through their plastic housie that attaches onto their cage and it is looking a bit worse for wear. The house is great because it has the ridge on top that you can stick their food bowl onto so it doesn't get knocked over all the time, and it keeps it off the floor of the cage as well. And it hooks over the cage bars to keep it one place.

I have pigloos and cardboard boxes etc but none of these is any good for lodging a food bowl. (I'm sure my pigs were all footballers in a previous life...)

I can't seem to find anywhere that sells these cage accessories unless you buy the entire cage with it. Does anyone have any idea where you can get just the cage accessories without the whole cage?

Many many thanks!

Hi there,

What cage (make/size) are you using? It might help as someone on here might have the house/hidey and may be willing to sell/give to you.
 
Sounds like one of the Nero ones?

I tried to find replacement bits for mine a while back to no avail. I had the same problem with a moving food bowl but found a good triangular crockery one which they haven't been able to tip over (yet).
 
Hi Sodapops,

It's Essegi Small Pet Cage Baffy 2-storied. But I use it as two separate cages for pigs instead of using the ramp to connect them, I sealed up the whole in the middle (The ramp as it was would be dangerous for the piggies, I thought).

It's 120 x 54 x 102 cm and I got it off the Zooplus website. It's very big!

Hi Toodlums

The hidey houses in that cage look very similar to the ones i have taken out of my ferplast 80 and ferplast 100 cages. I'm not sure they'd fit though as the cage designs do vary. They both have a dip in the top to place the food bowl on so it doesn't move and they both have a lip that can be trapped under the top cage (if that makes sense)

(The little yellow one does look very similar to the grey one ive just removed from my ferplast 80).

You'll have to let me know if you cannot get an exact replacement, i'd be happy to let you have my ferplast 80 one if you are willing to pay the postage
 
Thanks Sodapops,

That's incredibly kind of you. I am off on a shopping mission tomorrow and a friend has offered me her rabbit hidey (sounds like an elongated version of what you have) but if neither of these options work out I may take you up on your offer, I'd be happy to pay postage - I'll let you know.

Thanks for being so kind!

Found a website!

Hello all!

I was actually looking for some small pet litter trays (as my local petshop always seems to have sold out) and I found this website that sells the cage housies I was looking for.

I've never purchased from them before but thought this might be of use to others in my situation - with a Guinea Pig who likes to chew plastic!
