Just got a cavy, love him so much already, and I really wanna get a C&C cage for him... or actually, to make my own, heh. Well, I was trying to figure out where to get the Coroplast, and happened to mention it to my manager and assistant manager at the Circle K I work at. The asst. manager, Bonnie, actually was the one who convinced me to get a cavy in the first place. Turns out, we get the stuff all the time as part of our promo signs and stuffs... however we can't actually put most of it up because either we don't have the room or it's for cigarettes/alcohol, and since we're like two blocks from an elementary school, that's kinda prohibited.
So they just gave me, completely free, a decent sized sign made from the Coroplast stuff. It's got printing on one side, but is just blank safe white on the other,which is good. =) Granted it's only about 3X5, but still, that'll be a major upgrade from the cage from the pet shop. (sorry, I know I should have gotten a rescued cavy, but I didn't learn that until after he was home! :sad: )
Anyway, if nothing else, I'm pretty sure a bit of ingenuity could be used to piece a few pieces of this Coroplast stuff into a pretty good almost cost free cage! =) Just check out your local Circle K! (I guess almost any grocery or convenience store would work, but I feel obligated to advertise, hehe) We're *constantly* throwing out old signs, and they just get tossed into the dumpster, so if you're nice, I'm sure you could get set up pretty good!
Anyway, that's what I wanted to say, heh. Hopefully it helps, and if this has been mentioned already, sorry for the repeat!
