Question Where can I currently find the cubes?
permalink
Most of the previous stuff was from a few years back, and now have stopped making them. None at B&Q or any other places I have tried.

I can only find them online at rediculous prices of £40 for 4 cubes!! Considering they are so cheap in the states Im not paying that for them....

Anyone know of any current UK suppliers?

Thanks!

The pet enclosures for 9.99 are a set of panels 34x23cm each. They are designed to make an octagonal run for hamsters or mice. They are not tall enough for a guinea pig cage and the octagon they make wouldn't be large enough for a cage either.

There are cubes on ebay at the moment (search for storage cube). They are £25 plus £9 postage for a set that looks as though it has 23 grids and 24 connectors.

I bought these and they the same size as normal cubes 14"x14. I think you are looking at the wrong item, these have sold out now. I posted my picture using these cubes in the open cages section
You can still get the mesh cubes for £13.99 plus £6.89 for 16 panels on Ebay. If you type "4 cube Home & office storage mesh and grid organiser".

I have that shoe organizer for my shoes and that would not work well for a cage, the panels are really small. The back panels are about 1/4 the size of a normal grid and the side panels are about 1/2 the size.

Guinea pigs aren't as popular here as they are in the U.S Its so difficult to find the right things.

I always check pound shops and poundstretchers and things, because sometimes they have great pet things (unintentionally). One I got a 'cat tunnel' in pink, which was lovely and perfect for piggies ..for 1.99!! Similar ones (not as nice!) were at P@H for 9.99!!
And i got a pop up tent perfect for the pigs for 1.00!!

I just wanted to clarify that the pet enclosure that I originally posted was the plastic cube storage that LindaP used in her CC cage.

You can get them in the Manchester area. The thing is they are discontinued stock so they can't search for them on their computer system BUT if you quote this barcode number: 5015772198409 they will be able to see them on the system. Confusing I know! The Old Trafford B&Q had one pack left. You need to ring the branch and quote the number, it doesn't work through the website. Thanks!
