Re: Heights of sides of Coroplast on C&C

How young is considered "young"? I'm not sure of the exact age - I'd gotten these guys from a pet store (I know, I should have read up more before), so don't know their exact age (I've had them a month, and I'm guessing they have to be at least 2 to be at the store).

I'd gotten the largest cage from the store at the time and started my research after the fact. Eagerly putting the finishing touches on a dual-level C&C so I can get them out of the other and into a better piggie home. I am planning to switch use fleece when they move to their new accommodations.

I was noticing the cage they have now has 6" sides on it and they go up to the little platform to look around the room quite often, so was thinking that they're having trouble seeing out. I'm building the new cage higher with storage underneath so they'll be higher off the ground so unless they can see over the edge wouldn't have as much of a view.

After reviewing the baby-proofing doubled (overlapping) grid pattern I'm thinking of cutting some grids in half (so 7" high) and attaching those and keeping the coroplast lower so that they'd have the visibility and the small grid safety. Then once into full adulthood I could always take the extra grids off.
