This is our set-up we are in the process of redecorating/organising their room and I'm going to attempt to give them this space over 2 levels so the buns have more floor space and then I can put the piggles on a table rather than on the floor.

The hutch is 3 levels and they have day and night access to the run.
 
My two live in a ferplast 140 cage.

In this picture they have a hay rack on the right hand side of the cage, but now I just give them a pile of hay on the floor because they like that better :)
 
How long and how much did it cost to make that?

I want one!


I'll ask hubby how much it cost, as I'm not sure how much of what wood it took. We did get the frame wood ( 2 inch x 2 inch )from a local carboot. Fiver for 9 bits at around 8ft long each piece (I think, again I'll check) think the frame for everything took about 5 packs in the end. And we used tongue and groove wood from B&Q, about 7 packs, maybe 8 in the end. It was the long stuff. The wire we already had. PVC sheet about 6 quid, those spacer things and special screws for the PVC roof are the killer, soooo expensive.

As for time probably a couple of weekends from start to finish. Hubby likes all this DIY stuff, especially little projects like this.

So I think it cost about £100, but I will ask and PM you.

Hi Tracy :wave: They are fine and Daisy (was Snowy) is the friendliest little thing. They've now got a small plastic dog bed with hay in and they all squidge in together, Guinness is one happy man pig!! :lol:
