So I've been searching for cubes all over the place, a surprisingly harder task than I thought it would be, without any success. My last hope was Costco after trying the local Target, Bed Bath Beyond, Walmart and Kmart. (I can't believe what a hard time I had finding the things!) Well, my brother headed over to Costco the other day so I asked him if he could look for some. I (thought I) had never seen them before and I had doubts.
He comes home with no luck and I think damn, that was my last hope. But then helping him carry groceries from the garage, I notice something I've never noticed before in all my life of living in my home (which sadly has been my whole life).
We had a whole shelf made out of cubes just there on the side of the garage. And on the shelf was 2 unused boxes full of more cubes and connectors! I can't believe that all this time I've been fretting about finding the cubes and they've been literally RIGHT IN FRONT OF ME!
Anyway, I made a 2x4 grid cage and I'm planning on adding another level. Luckily there's a Sign-A-Rama really nearby so I'll be getting some Coroplast soon. But I have doubts about my cutting ability and so I'm wondering what the size dimensions for the coroplast should be for the 2x4 cage? :?: Do they score it for you as well as cut it? If so, does this usually cost extra as well?
Also, what should I use for the floor of the second level? I know coroplast is probably the obvious choice, but I'd like to explore my options. Is there some kind of carpeting available that's easy to clean? Or should I try fleece?
Sorry for all the questions. When I'm finished, I'll be sure to take some pictures. Right now all of my cavies are in tiny overpriced commercial cages. :sorry: Thank goodness that's changing soon.
