The problem seems to be rack systems that tend to migrate from small to smaller, which of course can be made to "work" but the one part that suffers the most is nesting. And of course not by all. Simply filling any rack system cage with substrate works, not a thing wrong with that.
Rack systems hinder learning, as you cannot watch the animals, which is key to learning. Even watching is a different learning experience then when you put cameras on them. They simply do more, when your not there. Talk about logical.
So, Gregg jumped on it, adapted it to his animals and setup then came up with his OWN version. perfect. Now you get to. feel free to add to it in any way you want and please call that method yours.
About me, When I was building zoo exhibits. some employees would whine, FR, its his way or the highway. Which is both right and wrong. The wrong part is, its not about my way, its about the right way. Mind you, lets say there are 50 ways to do it right and 50 ways to do it wrong. I only asked to pick one of the 50 right ways. If they picked one of the 50 wrong ways, they would get their bums fired. Consider, they were also allowed to put their own personal twist to it.
That Gregg picked a right way, you picked a right way, and that fella in Europe picked a right way, I am a happy person. And so are your hogs. And if that is a pain in the arse to understand, then surely I am your huckleberry. Congrats and run with it.
