    Good Deal

    I was walking around Target today. (Doing some Christmas shopping) I found a set of grids (with the connectors I believe) it was about 18 dollars. I thought that I would share with you all just in case someone is looking for them. However I can't seem to find them on the online store.

    They are a really good deal but the grids are too wide. They are 8 squares across instead of 9 so they aren't okay for small guinea pigs and aren't recommended to be used in general.

    Re: Good Deal

    There are a few different stores that carry grids that aren't the correct size. If the target ones you are talking about are the target brand ones then they are 8 across but if you find them that are 9 across then it's fine.

    Re: Good Deal

    The grids I bought were only 5 across from Target!

    There are threads about not getting Target grids or Kmart grids, they aren't safe for pigs I'd keep that recipt and take them back.

    Re: Good Deal

    Well I didn't buy them because I am very picky. I have all black grids with black connectors and I have to have the whole cage be the same color. I know it sounds weird.

    Oh you were mentioning not finding them in stores... If you order from Walmart online they will ship them to your nearest walmart to be picked up. Sometimes you can get them on sale too! I normally get mine from bed bath & beyond.

    I have some coming my way. My mom broke down and got me some for Christmas. She got sick of hearing me talk about how the girls are way to cramped. I get mine from amazon most of the time.

    Re: Good Deal

    I used 2 boxes of those Target grids because I couldn't find them anywhere else and buying online is out of the question. (Shipping to Alaska is CRAZY!) Inside the box is 2 different sizes, the 8 square ones and huge 5 square ones. The 8 square ones are fine for my 3 girls, and I used the 5 square ones for the bottom and storage part. The squares are a little over an inch and a half wide, there's no way my girls could get stuck.

    I have never seen that before. I would think a box would have all one size.

    Re: Good Deal

    Yea the target ones do have two seperate sizes, that is how they are so cheap. You are supposed to use the big ones as the sides of the shelves and the smaller ones as the base of the shelf so that items don't fall through.

    Kdon now I feel dumb if I would have thought what other people use them for I would have known. I only think of girds for cages.

    The 8 square ones are the dangerous ones. Please change them or overlap them like baby proofing.

    I get mine from K-mart & they are the 9 down & across. They are usually $19.99, but when I went on Black Friday they were marked down to 17.99, so I bought them

    It didn't say it was a Black Friday sale..the sign just said price reduced, so it may still be.

    I got my grids from Kmart and they work really well. No piggy in the cage yet, just planning ahead of time. I got them before Black Friday and they where 17.99 then. I think it's the new price for them.
