Question Are these grids safe??
permalink
I bought grids today for my first C+C Cage from Bed Bath & Beyond.

I thought they looked rather large when I opened them so I measured them.

They are 14.5" square.

I measured the holes and they were 1.5". Should I be concerned about my pig getting stuck?

Thank You for reading

If this helps, my pig is not pregnant, and is 4 years of age.

On the home page it says do not use grids with inner square spaces greater than 1.5 inches.

So I guess it is okay if your pigs can't get their heads through the bars.

Thank you to Jenni_Feathers and newpiggiemommy.

Your responses make me feel better because I know that he should be safe.

I didn't leave him in it overnight.

Thanks again

Exclamation Re: Are these grids safe??
permalink
No I have not built my cage.
Well sort of. I have only bought grids and I set the grids up and my pig is in them now.
I have been checking Coco and he has not been doing anything that seems alarming yet.
Is there any concerns that I should have?
If there is, what can I do to make it safer?
As I said previously, my pigger is not pregnant, and is 4 years old.

Re: Are these grids safe??

Yes steve_and_pigs, you are right he is.

the first thing he did, and i am not kidding, is he looked around for 3 seconds and did about 10 popcorns and did like 5 laps.

I was so happy, because he looked at me like "I L-O-V-E love this thing, it is so roomy and I can go nuts!"

Even my mom and dad agreed that he is noticeably happier and they can see why I was begging for a C+C Cage!

Re: Are these grids safe??

How ironic is it that your guinea pig's name is "Coco" and my guinea pig's name is Chocolate, You bought your grids from Bed, Bath, and Beyond. And I am going to buy them over there aswell. Wow and I was also going to ask if the grids were safe too. Haha thanks for posting up this thread. It helped alot.
