Well a few days ago I orderd my first cc cage! It arrived this morning so I put it together. I feel so much better for my girls. Now all I need to get is another one for the boys, oh and a top for both of them!

Elly is helping out!

A temperary top

I just ordered mine and I cannot wait to get it! My girls are in a smaller store bought cage for the time being and I can tell they are just not happy. I cannot wait until they are running around being happy biggies in their new cage!!

C&C cages are great. You will love them. Easy to keep clean and of course most importantly the piggies love them!

Congratulations! Your piggy's will be so much happier now. Just like us people and our "Living Conditions" This makes such a big difference especially on ones well being as well as ones attitude.

WOW! The cage looks awesome. I can't wait to get mine!! How long did yours take to come? I ordered mine last night but don't know when to expect it.

**Shadows_Gold** · #10 03-28-09, 09:34 pm

Well I think it took about 3 or 4 days. I'm not sure really, but it came very fast!

I love your cage!

It is very nice. I am still in the process in convencing my parents to let me get my guinea pig one.It is not going to work out to pretty.

what is that lining the bottom of the cage?(sorry...really inexperienced with cages!)

**Shadows_Gold** · #13 04-29-09, 10:01 pm

Its like fleece, an old blanket on top of some puppy training pads and old towles.

**Simonmaal** · #14 04-30-09, 09:13 am

Well done - looks well built and tidy! The only this is, I can't see any hay; is the hay in the blue litter tray?

EDIT: Ah sorry, I saw the hay rack!

They need hay and some toys but other than that, perfect! How do you like the fleece as opposed to kiln dried aspen or pine?

We rescued a young bunny last week that one of our neighbors left when they moved. We have never had a rabbit and need advice on how to put a secure top on one of the cages from Sue's C & C Cage kit specifically the 27 x 71 cage. We have 4 cats and want to make sure the bunny is safe until they get accustomed to each other. So my primary question is: Can I buy a cover for the cage mentioned above and will the cage be strong enough/secure enough for a cat (or two) jumping on top of the cage? My secondary question is: do you have any advice on how to acclimate the two species? Thanks, Steve

Nice cage! Your fleece is very clean. I made the mistake of putting bedding in my loft above the fleece on the lower level and every time my pig comes down the ramp he drags bedding down the ramp with him. When I clean the cage I'm switching the loft to fleece too, I just hope the hay doesn't stick too it bad.

It looks great! I would add another hidey or two so each pig can have one. I can't tell exactly where your hideys and litter box are placed, but I would move them away from the edges of the cage, if that is where they are, so the pigs can run laps around the perimeter.
