[align=center]So... When I got my lil Crumble, my whole intention was to try to bond him with one of the girls and move him outside. However, certain things are certain to make me doubt myself so I decided to spruce up his home and keep him inside for a while longer. I feel I can better monitor him while I adapt to his teeth and his diet, etc.
Anywho, I was trying to figure what I would use for the flooring. I have a big blue tarp but it's not smooth, it's sort of threaded so I figured he would start chewing it if he figured to lift it by scratching at it and that made me nervous. Tile wasn't an option because it's a temporary emplacement and the way the setup is, I can't have an elevation off the floor. Hmmm what to do, what to do. Aha! Vinyl flooring! Bingo. And guess what?! It was on special at 3.29⬠per m2! Woot!
This is what it looked like before, when we first setup:
And here's what it looks like now:
Used hooks and a dowel to make a place to hang toys from:
Rolo's old nestbox is now Crumble's bed, since she doesn't use it:
Crumble exploring:
We used extra playpen panels and tie wraps to close the base of the guinea pig cage we built. The two front panels open up, and I can attach the rest of the panels to create an extension so he can have twice the space to run (the cage space is 120cm x 60cm, so double is quite nice to bunny500 in!) Maybe in the futurehe will get to run around in the room as well.I use binder clips to shut the doors:
The piggies are on top (Bit bland as we are still working on their castle!):
This is a quick view of my hobby/pet room to show you how closeby I can sit and how we manage to make a small space work) Oh and you can see the air purifier. Such a tiny handy thing!:
So anywho, I am sooooo thrilled with the way it turned out. I will try to put in a 2nd level to make things interesting but for now, for something that is supposed to be temporary, I must say, I am very happy with it. It's nothing special, but it's coming up with the ideas to make this work that I am proud of. Lol.
