    Outside

    So im going to probably make a huge outside cage out of grids for a guinea pig. the whole outside around it is going to be lined with grids to for keeping out dangerous animals! I was wondering if I could put a "lining" of grids on the inside around the edge so if animals somehow get in it would stop them. Is this ok? I was wondering if it might catch their feet or something? the cage dimensions are 6 grids across 3 grids down and 1 grid up pus another 'box' of grids for a hideaway. Please also give me any suggestions for my cage outside. It is going outside no matter what so what should i do to make it extra cozy and right? it will have a 14 by 14 hideaway made of wood and a 2 by 3 grid shaded area the rest grass.

    Im sorry I wasn't clear enough but the lining will be laid down so that predators cant borrow through there will defiantly be this on the outside but can it be on the inside too?

    Just curious, why can't you keep them inside? If you really really cannot keep them inside, don't use grids. It will not withstand predator animals.

    Also, it would probably be better for them if you find them a new home who can keep them safe indoors.

    I cant keep them indoors because my parents said no. They've lived long enough outdoors so they are going to continue too. I just want a bigger cage for them.
