It should be fine, as long as you get a c&c cage sorted as soon as possible. Just make sure she gets plenty of floor time and lap time.

Is it a c&c cage already made up? Or are you just buying the grids?

Pigglywiggly is right, you can save money by buying the grids and coroplast and putting the cage together yourself. It will probably be about $15 for grids (at Target), and $15 to $20 for coroplast if you live in the US. For help locating supplies, try this link: https://www.guineapigcages.com/where.htm .

Even if you order it, you will still have to assemble it when it arrives. You would be much better off financially to just go get the materials yourself because you are really just ordering all the materials needed in a "kit" that will still require assembly. The only thing you won't have to do is cut/score your coroplast tray. You will still have to tape it.
