This is a great idea for other small animals, too, such as hammies.

LOL! At first I thought you meant baby-proofing as in human babies. XD But as a curiousity, can baby piggies really fit through those cubes?!

My babies can, they are 2 weeks and one day and when they were born they were all weighed more than 4.00 ounces. Thanks! I need to do that! I'm making the cage right now.

I'm so glad you posted this. We were using the standard cubes (1.5" opening) as an outside "grazing" cage for our cavies. When I got my new little girl, 3 months old about, she stuck her head through one of the openings and couldn't get it out!! She was panicking and almost choking herself but we got her calmed down and were able to cut her out with wire cutters.

I had NO IDEA you needed to "baby proof" a C&C cage as long as the sides were 6 inches tall. I wondered how they could "climb" the 6 inch walls unless there is decor (IE pigloo/hidey house etc) next TO the wall for a baby to reach UP past the coro to the grids. I am planning on keeping three two week old babies IN such a cage being built as I write this and had NO IDEA the dangers of the cage as IS. So, simply overlapping the grids should WORK? I shall certainly DO that THANK YOU for this information
