Hi all, here are some things i made for dizzy and hugo:

The step/tunnel/bunkbed:

I zip-tied 2 nic panels together and stuffed one halfway under the cage, and bent the other. i then zip-tied the bent panel to their "cage"(it's more like the kitchen/bathroom for them because they free range my room all day) i had some extra foam, so i cut the foam to fit the top of the bent nic panel, and them cut cloth and draped it over the foam. i safty pinned the cloth and the foam together, then i safty pinned th foam and clothonto the bentpanel. i also sewed a "pillow" to go in the tunnel. the step leads to the top of the cage.

dizzy on the step, not quite sure where to go next

veiw of the step and the top of the cage

The Chair

i at first made thisfor hugo and dizzy, but hugo outgrew it. dizzy enjoys it though. i sewed this chair together with foam and fleece. i sewed mesh at the top because it's right next to my bed so when i look down, i can see dizzy sleeping in her couch through the mesh. dizzy LOVES stuffed animals...i think she already stole 3 of mine, as you cane see, she dragged one onto her couch.

dizzy modeling it:

thetop bunk:

this one i didn't really make, but i foun it at dollerama.it is a under counter shelf. i guess your supposed to slide it under a desk or table. i slid it onto the bars on the top of the cage, and used a snap at the back to hold it up, if that makes sense (the pic will help)

ill post more soon!

So cute! I haven't heard of a GP free-roaming before. I imagine you must have to stop up some smaller holes so she doesn't get into trouble? I always also thought most GPs were not as good at litter training as rabbits. Dizzy seems so sweet!

i was surprised also, but i thought, why not? she is fully litter trained, not an accident in a month. the meathod i use is after 2 weeks i encrease the time she has out of her cage, and while doing that i get rid of the litterbox she least uses. right now she is out for up to 5 hours, and has 5 litterboxes (the size of my room is pretty big..for her anyway.) she is a curiouse little bugger.

ok, soI spentmy morning (like from 8-9) making the top of the cage have bedrooms for dizzy and hugo(andI cleaned out their kitchen/bathroom which is their cage) i'm not quite done yet, i would like to get some hanging parrot toys or somthing for hugo, and later on i might make a small roof over top of his floor(only part of it though)and i would like to somehow hang little names over each of their bedrooms like "Dizzy's piggie palace" or something. hugo's room is on top,dizzy's on the bottom.

they are spoiled...i like the under counter thingy too! dizzy sleeps in it ALL the time, go to dollerama to buy one, they were only 1.50 including tax.

 

[pixxie]

here's another thing i made for dizzy. i bought 2 bowls at dollerama and driled holes in them. i then put zip ties through the holes and made it very tight. if you want to do this for your bun, you may need bigger bowls...

btw dizzy and hugo have been chewing it so much...that's why it looks uneven for the bottom doorway

You have some very cute pets, Hugo is very handsome. You have some awesome creativeness, those are great things you made for them. I have flemish giants and its hard to find things for them to crawl into.

The top of Hugo and Dizzy's cage is redone! dizzy's piggie palace is still the same, but hugo's large loft, well, is now LARGE. It's 2 levels. i'll have to post pics soon (i'm @ my grandmas and grandpas for the weekend)

I have to say that I'm really enjoying seeing your creations for Hugo and Dizzy. They look like they are really having a good time.

I see that you are using a wood pellet bedding for Dizzy. Have you ever tried the fleece layers with towels under them? I am thinking about doing that for my piggies because I am just not that crazy about the Yesterday's News for them. I used to use the wood pellets, but Colin started doing this coughing/choking sound. We were thinking he could be aspirating the sawdust from when the pellets break down. I just don't like how smelly the Yesterday's New gets within a few days of cleaning the cage.

thanks! i have tried using fleece but the cage they think that the cageis ONLY their bathroom and kitchen, if i put fleece in, they wil start peeing and pooping on it (even if there's litter boxes in there) so the fleece would smell like crazy (i've tried it).what i'm gonna do is have them free range my room all the time(and if i can convince my mom to let them fre range at least part of the house that would be good) and i'm going to have 1 litterbox in every room, so the cage is their litter box for my room.

hey everyone, i just wanted to post some pics of Dizzy's piggie palace and hUGO'S LARGE LOFT,new and improved.i also made stairs for dizzy because she was still having a hard time getting to the top of the cage with 1 step.

Hugo has 2 levels *(because he likes to jump so much)* and dizzy has one level (because she doesnt like jumping and climbing to high kevels unless there is stairs) hugo jumps from his first level to the second(roof)level using the top of the organizer.

now this is a view of the bathroom/kitchen and their rooms(and my futon bunkbed)
