| Re: On Behalf of some of the GOOD petshops. Alfie, It sounds like you are geninlytrying to learn here. I give you credit for that. I couldn't find Coroplast either, but there are so many alternatives. No, I don't have a C&C cage, I would love to find everything and build one, but my constructed cage is 14.75 square feet. Until I can manage to find everything and build my cage, I found a different way to give my boys the space they needed. My cage actually cost nothing as it was made of things we had lying around our property. I'm just saying use your imagination. If it looks like it might make a decent cage, it probably will with a little imagination. Just remember to make sure it is large enough, safe enough and well ventilated. As for the pet store thing, have you tried talking to your local vet? Mine put me in touch with a shelter and an individual looking to re-home. Because of him, I found two beautiful piggies who were perfect for us and my existing piggy.
I live in a very small town quite far from anything. I understand that your mom might not want to drive very far. You can't control your parents, I know that. But maybe you could find something that they could help you make a cage out of. I have a friend who gathered up old political signs and used them as a base. He just turned the printed side down. Another guy used a tarp covered with newspaper then fleece. These are just a few ideas that are cheep and worked well for these people. Oh, by the way, very important. Be sure the guinea pigs can't get to the tarp as they will chew it. Max built a frame out of aluminum and tacked the tarp to it then put the cubes inside the frame. |
