Pig Ark - Small

The Small Pig Ark has been designed specificaly for small breeds and the new, specially bred 'mini-pot-bellied' and 'micro pigs'. It will, for example, hold two smaller Kune Kunes or even conventional breed weaners (for a month or two before they outgrow it!). Please ensure that the size is OK for your pigs, because breeds such as the Kune Kune can vary considerably in size and it's a little too small for our own Kune Kune sow.

While this ark is modest in size, it is built to last. The front, back, and floor are all made from 12mm thick panels, so the ark is immensely strong. It needs no maintenance whatsoever, and because it won't rot or rust, it should last over 20 years.

It can be assembled in less than 10 minutes and dis-assembled even more quickly, if you want. Assembly is tool-less (except for two nuts and bolts if you fit the optional adjustable vents) and is extremely simple. An eye is provided at each end of the roof bar for a rope, should you wish to move the ark in one piece with a loader tractor. Hand holes are provided, and two people can lift one of these arks (they actually weigh 47kg).

The central roof panel is easily removed, so adding fresh bedding and cleaning is a breeze. We don't know of any other arks offering this feature.

This ark has a solid floor. As standard, it comes with an optional door which, when not in use, clips to the front of the house - nicely out of the way but always there if you want to use it. When closed, it is held securely in place by a quick release clip, and makes the ark fox proof. Two optional adjustable vents permit ventilation when the door is closed.
