Re: A commercial cage that is big enough?

I looked at these Midwest cags before. I actually think they are pretty good.

Personally I wouldn't use any commercial cage for a guinea pig or anything larger - I am totally converted to C+Cs. I found it fairly easy to make. My problem was the cost - I was lucky to get my grids half price before Argos stopped stocking them, but the coroplast cost me a fortune in price and delivery (had to use ebay).

But having spent so much time on Yahoo answers, I have noticed that many people simply will not make their own cage - no matter how cheap or easy it would be. In these cases I will recommend buying a C+C through this site, or as a last resort looking at those Midwest guinea pig habitats. They may not be perfect - but I think if people insist on a commercial cage, and it is this or some crappy normal cage half the size, then this is definately the better option.

Incidentally, I also contacted Midwest about their appaling rabbit cages. They were actually really helpful, and apparently they are in the process of disgning new rabit cages, with at least one model that will meet the 2x6 foot minimum requirement.
