C&C Baby proofing C&c

I'd do 12 inch walls -- he can easily get over a six inch one.

And you need a lid on the female cage. A determined male can push up the lid on this own cage and squeeze out, but he can't lift the lid on another cage. Closet shelving makes an awesome cage lid.

No, just on the baby's side, unless the male takes up bar chewing. In that case, you might want to put some on his side.

If his head will fit through the holes in the grids, then yes, you need to babyproof his side as well. You can use cardboard if you don't have that much coroplast.

Ok so how do you baby proof a c&c cage? Would 6-12 inch high coroplast walls be enough? Or do I need to do something else? I’m going to have my 2 month old boy on one side of the cage and my pregnant female on the other side

You can also zip tie extra grids around the cage to minimize the grid holes by doubling up the grids. Just zip tie the extra grids slightly to the left or right of the main grid, thereby making each grid hole half the size.

This allows for ventilation, you to see the pigs and easy to remove when the pigs are old enough.

Use the grids later to expand the cage or make a playpen for floor time.
