Cage Does anyone in the UK have a nero 4 cage? - Guinea Pig Cages, Care, Store, Photos of Guinea Pigs and More Forum!

I have a nero 4 cage for my two piggys and feel guilty now as I have seen all the lovely photos on here of all the c&c cages, but I cant find the grids to make them or the correx to make one.

My piggys have been living in there cage for 1 year now and they seem to like it. Its the biggest cage I could get for them and ive got the stand aswell so they arent on the floor. They come out everyday for floortime for about 4 hours. I also have a hutch for them and they go out on warm days and a run on the grass again for warm days. (I never leave them out overnight.)
Does anyone else from the UK use a nero 4 cage?

I'm also based in the UK, it can be a little bit harder to find the Correx and the cubes you need to make a C&C but please stick with it.

This thread outlines some places to get correx:

When it comes to getting cubes, I got mine from ebay - it's worth checking back there regularly.

You really will notice a difference when you move your piggies over to a C&C. My girls have never popcorned as much as they did the day they went into theirs, it's well worth it.

I agree, all 3 of my boars had been living in the petstore cages 6 months or more, and they were totally different animals when they first "realized" that the whole C&C cage was their "house"! Good luck, I sure hope you can find the supplies.

Hi Sammi!

I used to have a Nero 4 before learning about C&C cages. My Percy is now so much more active! The Nero 4 is now used as a "HQ" for my house rabbit.

You can find the correx in sign shops. As for the cubes, I got mine from France but the online store of Robert May has some as well.

Some of the cages on here are absolutely wonderful. I wonder who is having the most fun: the pigs or the humans?

Sammi,heres a link i posted the other day. You can find the grids on it. I got free corex at our town council office (past elections) so i got it for free.http://www.guineapigcages.com/forum/...-found-uk.html

How does the correx work? I mean it looks easier enough arranging the cubes but how do you get the correx to go into the rectangle shape?
Thanks for all your advice everybody.

Here is the link. Looks easy enough.

The Nero 4 just isn't big enough I'm afraid.... I'm in the UK and I got my grids from ebay - they are called 4 Cube Mesh Grid System . I got my correx on-line from Signwholesale as they sell big sheets of Correx but you have to order a minimum of 5 sheets. Otherwise ask at Sign Shops.

Finished product (2 x 5 grids) - 70inches long and 28inches front-to-back. I made a stand out of grids as you can see. I made this including the stand with 3 packs of the ebay grids. I'm really happy with it.

You can get the grids from ebay - one pack is enough to make a 2 x 6, and the packs i've seen on ebay cost about £20 including postage and packaging. The coroplast, I just googled and quite a few places came up within the uk. Good luck!

How big is it?
