LATEST REVISION: The cage is now a "2 x 6" (16 sq. ft) Cubes & Coroplast cage. There is a grid divider in the middle to separate the 2 pairs of pigs. Each couple has a "2 x 3" with a "2 x 1" Upper Level and a Hanging Shelf Basket. The checked Contact Paper on the front of the cage has been removed from this latest revision.

PRIOR CAGE: Items used for cage construction: Black Organize-It Storage Solution cube grids from Target, black corrugated plastic, black cable ties, black & white checked Contact Paper, black rubber-shelf grip, carpet tape, packing tape. Base is made from cube grids and is extremely secure. Bottom level is 2 x 5 grids. "Loft" (on right) is 1 x 1 and upper-level (on left) is 1 x 2. All connections were reinforced with black cable ties.
|
Left side of cage: ramp to 2nd-Level is made from two pieces of Coroplast taped together sandwich-style. Carpet tape was used to attach rubber-shelf grip to give the pigs more traction. A hand-held hole punch was used to make holes in one end so the ramp could be cable-tied to the grids and the bottom rests on a brick to reduce the angle.
| 
Right side of cage: accessories include: 4" PVC pipe, wooden bird toys, water bottles, Bounce Back* toy, Tug-N-Tumble* toy, Kritter Kabobs*, wooden Critter Cube*, hammocks*, Cuddl-E Cups*, Igloo*, ceramic food crocks, etc. (*made by Super Pet).
Cage dimensions:
2x5 cubes = 13sq. ft.
