The Cage

Tizzy and Russkit live in a 2x4 grid (about 150x70cm) C&C cage. They moved into it in August 2003. Previously Tizzy had lived as a semi-freerange pig with a small cage as his "base" while he roamed my room as he pleased. When I got a dog that wouldn't work anymore, so before I got Tubby I made the C&C cage for them. Later I moved it up on a table, and I'm very pleased with it, as are they. They have room to run around, are up high so they have a good view, and new things can be added all the time so it doesn't get boring. Lately I've been adding grids to make a second story, which they enjoy immensely.
