Re: the overall cost.

Well my entire cage cost me around £31 for a 5x4 with a 3x2 loft. All there little cuddle cups and tunnels cost me £21, I also made some of their things so it cost me about £10 in materials. The bedding I used to use cost me £11 for 2weeks. Now I have changed to fleece which cost me £20. The food pellets cost me £14.05 a month and their vegi's cost just over £10 a week. Oh and the hay costs me around £7.57 a week.

I hope that is what you were asking for!

Re: the overall cost.

My pound key on my laptop won't work, so here are the figures:

A pack of cubes (13) - 5.00
Linoleum - free! (Leftovers from the bathroom)
A 3ft by 2ft bale of hay - 4.00
Allen and Page guinea pig food (13kg) - 12.99
Readigrass (a ginormous pack) - 9.99
Vetbed - 20.00
Towels - 6.00
Hay rack - sort of free because I just use a bent grid
Chubes (cardboard tunnel) - 3.00
Fiddlesticks (wooden tunnel) - 4.50
Cuddle E Cup - 8.00

Then I spend about 10.00 on vegetables weekly

Re: the overall cost.

Let me add: I have loads of more toys in the cage but they are all free because they're home made

Re: the overall cost.

My cage which includes the mesh grids, base and tubs to make the platform cost me about £28. The cage plus everything else needed for my piggies cost about £80.

Re: the overall cost.

Cavy-cool, where do you get your meadow hay from? I get mine from a feed store in reading. A massive bale for only 4 pounds
