Well since the (( Bunnies moved outside)) I've had a move round in the pet room. This has meant that we've been able to finally fit the gerbils' tank in there instead of them being at the top of the stairs and we've also been able to set up a permanent small animal correx playpen.
I decided after some debating with myself to try using the bunnies' disused dog crate as a piggy cage - the main reason being that Ned-the-Spiny-Mouse lives on top of the crate and it's handy to store things on top. I was concerned about the wide bar spacing though and didn't want them to have less space than they'd had in their previous large C&C cage. Sooo I used Correx to make the dog crate bar spacing safe and added a large 'porch' with non-slip Vetbed on (there's Correx underneath it to protect the laminate). I plan to replace the multi-coloured bars with C&C grids when I finally get round to buying some cable ties!
The 'porch' is a permanent addition - they have access to it all the time.
And I may or may not remove the door to the dog crate - am not sure yet - I was worried about safety but it doesn't seem to bother them as they just walk underneath it....... oh and they don't use the Fiddlestix - they just 'hop' over the entrance to the dog crate! :lol: I may still get a larger one though for my own peace of mind.
Oh and apologies for the colour clashes lol. I've got tons of fleece that I need to cut up so I can have two contrasting fleeces rather than the rather mind-boggling matching fleece and accessories. I've ordered a hay rack too but it's not arrived yet. :?
But anyway! Here it is:
I think Ronnies pretty relaxed in it...
