::)I'm so far behind getting pigtures posted, that I figured I had better start a thread, and gradually feed in pigtures, or I'd be banned from Wheekers for flooding the site with the 3Piggles, lol.
The first pigtures are of Zippy, the baby i got at 4 weeks old, and who has given me so much love and fun.
SORRY, NO LONGER HAVE ACCESSS TO THE PHOTOS. I will try to find new photos to post.

Just to bring everyone up to speed, here are some of the 3Piggles.
The white one is my Little Girl. Her real name is Harlequin, but she's always been Little Girl. The brown one is Fudgy Momma, or Momma for short.
I will try to find new photos to post.

Aww, lovely pictures! Your pigs are really adorable! They look like they're enjoying every moment! From the Christmas Dinner to the Playtime in the cage! What a happy life they must have! Zippy is adorable! Look's like he's enjoying his hay as well!

thank you all for the nice comments. The kids love to know when people think they're cute, although always think they're cute.
I'd love to have them on Sugar andClouds friends page. That would be so nice. Thank you.
Tomorrow I'll try to post the pics directly, without the URL.

Little Girl loves her hay loft. It's made of grids held together with cable ties. It's very solid. Zippy loves to get under and pull the hay down all over himself. He comes out looking like he rolled in it, lol.

Portia, yes, she jumps up there. That's her special place. She really loves it just after I fill it with hay, and she can burrow into it and hide. Momma's doing her "you don't see me" routine, which is one of her favorites. She won't jump up, but she'll jump down. Little Girl jumps up, but not down. Zippy's not a jumper, he's a roamer.
The kids were out for floor time today, and Zippy wandered out of the room, looked down the stairs, checked out the bathroom, and was about to go into our bedroom, when I called him back. He loves to be called back. He comes trotting back down the hall, talking and chirping the whole way. He feels special that I'm watching him roam and care enough to call him back. lol

Haha. I've seen some guinea pigs jump up on top of pigloo's and it makes me laugh because my guinea pigs never jump! Once I just put my pig in front of a small log toy and she just sniffed the log then walked around it.

Aww the pigtures are so adorable! Zippy is so handsome and shiney and of course the girls are gorgeous as always. I love the hayloft! What a fantastic idea! ;D I might just have to try that here. Great job & can't wait to see more pigtures! Hugs to you & snuggles to the kids.. Lee Anne & all the boys

How big is your cage???
Mine is like a 2 by 4 I'm pretty sure... But i was thinking about building that hay rack (its a really good idea) for my cage and seeing how my pigs react to it.
:]

Lovely pictures. I love it when they get into the hay racks like that. Chocolate used to do it all the time but he is too big now!

I took the long weekend off, but I'm back with more piggy pics. The cage is 3'X6' with a second level of 20"X6". The tubes connecting the two levels, and acting as an in/out ramp of Funnels for ferrets. I got them at Petco on-line. They aren't big enough for Rexes, but they're great for regular piggies. Here's the latest version of the cage. I only changed the in/out ramp funnels to match the other ramp. I plan to put a skirt on the cage to hide the storage undernieth.

The green pigloo in the lower left hand corner, that's in the cuddle cup, is a regular pigloo with the entrance cut out. It perfectly fits the store pigloos, and the kids love it. When it's warm, and they don't need to snuggle in, they use it like a turtle shell, bomping it all around the cage with them in it. Little Girl especially likes to use it as a shell. I think she thinks she's a turtle, lol. It's also the pick up station. I'll pick up which ever pig is in the turtleloo, so the next one that wants to be picked up goes in and waits.

WOW WOW WOW I love it and you should come over and help me build Cloud and Sugar's cage again. I want something new for them but I think I will have to wait for some money. I sure do like the setup 3piggies. ;D
