ProudGrandma Posted February 9, 2013 Share Posted February 9, 2013 I made these http://www.guineapigcages.com/forum/about-cages/75171-how-make-cozy-sack.html for my guinea pigs. I also included the wire ring in the entrance as described in the first comment towards the bottom of the page. I used a wire hanger and I used duct tape to join the 2 ends. Which worked great until I washed them. So then I tried wrapping a lot of yarn around the ends to join them...but that also didn't make it through the first washing...so now what do i do? Please give me a suggestion on what I can do. My piggies love these sacks...especially when it gets cold at night. thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Starr Posted February 9, 2013 Share Posted February 9, 2013 Could you just hand wash them? They aren't so big. :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ProudGrandma Posted February 9, 2013 Author Share Posted February 9, 2013 could...never thought about that...I just throw them with the fleece flippers when I wash them...it's easy that way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reeciecup Posted February 10, 2013 Share Posted February 10, 2013 Could you just make hooks on the ends of your wires and hook them together? Then use pliers to close the hooks to lock them together? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heather in Neverland Posted February 10, 2013 Share Posted February 10, 2013 Ok, is it weird that I thought you meant you made cozy sacks out of guinea pigs? It freaked me out for a moment. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ProudGrandma Posted February 10, 2013 Author Share Posted February 10, 2013 Could you just make hooks on the ends of your wires and hook them together? Then use pliers to close the hooks to lock them together? the only problem with that is that the wire needs to stay in a circle and I think the circle will collaspe with this method. I might just need to find a differnt wire...one that is still strong, but not so strong that I can't bend it so I can wrap it arouind each other.

Amy in NH Posted February 10, 2013 Share Posted February 10, 2013 When we had piggies we made similar cozy sacks. I made up the pattern. They were easier than the one you linked, though, and didn't have any wire at all. The piggies loved them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LaxMom Posted February 10, 2013 Share Posted February 10, 2013 We don't put wire in them and the piggies just go inside. Even if they fall shut, they'll just fling it open with a nose. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ProudGrandma Posted February 11, 2013 Author Share Posted February 11, 2013 well, maybe I will take the wire out then....do your cozy sacks look like mine (but without the wire)...or is your pattern really different? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
