I agree, i think it's better safe than sorry to not use them. Without you knowing one of your guinea pigs could get it's head caught and get a possibly fatal injury. If i were you i wouldn't risk the chance. Do you still have the receipt? If so you could go back to Target, exchange them and buy them at a different store where the grids are the standard 9x9.
