Not Ranked. Helpful AND tactful post? : 0 Re: What should I carry my guinea pigs home in? | | I built a quick setup of two 2x1 side by side cages for transport, cleaning, etc. I left the zip ties loose so that I could easily get grid connectors on. I put some plastic and then towels or bed sheets underneath.
I divided the cage up because if I put my two boys together in a much smaller space of the total 2x2 that this cage takes up they will start to fight more. Probably not enough to worry but I don't want to take any chances trying to stop a bad fight in the car. Plus the divider also adds stability to the cage. If I ever have to do a long trip with them I might make a coroplast base that goes around the whole outside.
I have a Honda Fit (Also called Jazz) a compact wagon type car. But it has a very large cargo area in the back with the seats folded down. So I can easily fit something that is 2x2 in grids. If I ever had to take pigs and a bunch of cargo I would make a similar setup of 1x2 split down the middle.
I like the split cage setup because it keeps them from fighting when they are cooped up but still lets them see each other. |
