I've been working on the sow run portion of the bank some more. It's now had one coat of undercoat/primer and two coats of aquanamel. The paint needs a week to cure so while it does that I've been installing more hardware.
I've never found a cage catch I actually like, they are ugly, awkward and a total pain at feeding time. So I'm trialling magnetic catches, they are pricey at $4 a catch but I think they'll work. I've just installed two in the sow run, one per door and I think I'm definitely going to need more. Probably two at the top and bottom at the end of the door and one more on the hinged section. So I need to head to Bunnings and buy two more sets of catches (two in each set) as well as door handles for all of the cages.
If the catches work in the sow run with a a nosy houdini cavy (Ebbie) I'll install them in the bottom level as well and have slightly more aesthetically pleasing cage locks.
