If you want to you could build a c&c cage.

I just built my 1st one on Sunday. It's a 2x3 and my piggies love it. I used two boxes of 14 in cubes that I bought from target with cable ties that i got from home depot to secure the cage.

There were enough cubes for me to build a two level c&c cage with an extra level to use as a stand to keep my piggies from being directly on the ground. If you look at some of the pictures of cages here in the photo gallery you will get a clear visual of a cage similar to what I'm talking about. That was also where I got the design for my cage. My room is spaciously challenged but I was able to do it.

To be honest, I think it's better and cheaper to build it yourself. When I bought my piggies 1st home I went to a pet store who did exactly what they were supposed to do (make a sale). Poor me didn't know any better, I listened to a sales rep who told me that a starter home would be the perfect size for two piggies even through adulthood. I was sold what I now know to be a glorified litter box for $89. Not satisfied with that a few weeks later I purchased another cage 47x22 ($130)not realizing that those were the measurements of the outermost part of the cage and not satisfied with that I decided to build a c&c which both I and my piggies are happy with. Thank God for sites such as this and guinea lynx from which I was able to learn about adequate cage space. I didn't know better then but I know better now.Total cost of the c&c = $67 {$26 for both boxes of cubes; $35 for a sheet of coroplast and $6 for 600 zip ties}.

I know I kind of strayed off from the point but I hope I was of some assistance to you. But yes, with a c&c you can keep your piggies from being directly on the floor, it just depends on how you build it.
