Building my first cage! Tell me what you think

Spiffy'n'Spunky · Feb 24, 2006

I have extrememly limited space in my room for my two piggies, and obviously one store bought cage is too small for them, but I have no real way of moving any furniture or anything around to fit a CC cage comfortably, but I am planning on taking the sliding door off my closet, which creates a perfect alcove for the piggies. I know closets are no places for piggies, but Im permanetly removing the door,the piggies would the only thing in there, and my only window is straight across the room, so they will have natural light for 80% of the day. What do you guys think of this idea?

In my opinion it sounds good! Just make sure you have enough room and all of the other essentials and hey if you can fit the cage there and are permantly removing the door than I think that sounds nice. Good Luck!

Good idea.

What are the inside measurements of the closet?

Piglet · Feb 24, 2006

Sounds brilliant but like percy's mum said, tell us how big the alcove is going to be. Do you think it will fit at least a 2x3?

Spiffy'n'Spunky · Feb 24, 2006

It is going to end up being a 3x4 or 5 cage, i have just started to put the grids together.

BabyGrl · Feb 24, 2006

It sounds big enough. Maybe this is a stupid question but are you going to keep your clothes hanging in the closet and the pigs on the floor? I only ask becasue it could pose a problem if things fell into the cage accidentaly and the pigs chewed on it or your clothes could end up smelling like a guinea pig cage.

Giplet · Feb 24, 2006

Wow, that's big. I bet it is going to look really great. I think it is a fabulous idea, it will look like a shrine to your GPs. After all, you do serve their bidding. You should decorate it like a shrine and have little guinea pig crosses and symbols and statues and everything. Wow, I wish I had a built in wardrobe to turn into a guinea pig shrine.

By the way, where are you putting your clothes????

Spiffy'n'Spunky · Feb 24, 2006

I have a wooden divider between the closet, so all my clothes are going on the other side, so absolutely nothing is within thier reach :cheerful: I like the shrine idea :cheerful:

How about some pics when you're done?

Spiffy'n'Spunky · Feb 25, 2006

I will get pics up as soon as I can, hopefully tomorrow, yay!

Spiffy'n'Spunky · Feb 27, 2006

Well the cage itself is finished, but I measured the cage to be the exact size of the space I will be putting it in...so I have to cut about 2 inches off the end now. Pics should be up tonight :cheerful:

Giplet · Feb 27, 2006

Yay, pics!

Spiffy'n'Spunky · Feb 28, 2006

Yes! Finally the cage is done. I still have to secure the base tomorrow, but I just finished doing the second level. Tell me what you think!

Wow, the second level looks very comfy! Also, I love the artistic decoration on the wall behind.

Binas Cavys · Feb 28, 2006

Looks great! But how big is it?

Spiffy'n'Spunky · Feb 28, 2006

The cage dimensions are aprox. 2 1/2ft. by 3 1/2ft.

Giplet · Feb 28, 2006

And look at the space under the cage, ooo, you could store loads of piggy toys there!

Spiffy'n'Spunky · Feb 28, 2006

I wanted it up off the ground just so I could fit lots and lots of pigie toys. Last night, while I was sitting there sewing the fleece for the ramp/second story, Yogi and Boo-Boo came out of thier pigloo and were watching me and were making a purring sound! It was so cute, like they were saying thank you

Giplet · Feb 28, 2006

Aaw! They love you!!
