I bought grids today for my first C+C Cage from Bed Bath & Beyond.

I thought they looked rather large when I opened them so I measured them.

They are 14.5" square.

I measured the holes and they were 1.5". Should I be concerned about my pig getting stuck?

Thank You for reading

If this helps, my pig is not pregnant, and is 4 years of age.

On the home page it says do not use grids with inner square spaces greater than 1.5 inches.

So I guess it is okay if your pigs can't get their heads through the bars.

Thank you to Jenni_Feathers and newpiggiemommy.

Your responses make me feel better because I know that he should be safe.

I didn't leave him in it overnight.

Thanks again

No I have not built my cage.
Well sort of. I have only bought grids and I set the grids up and my pig is in them now.
I have been checking Coco and he has not been doing anything that seems alarming yet.
Is there any concerns that I should have?
If there is, what can I do to make it safer?
As I said previously, my pigger is not pregnant, and is 4 years old.

I think you're all set. I bet he's really enjoying his new pen!

Yes steve_and_pigs, you are right he is.

the first thing he did, and i am not kidding, is he looked around for 3 seconds and did about 10 popcorns and did like 5 laps.

I was so happy, because he looked at me like "I L-O-V-E love this thing, it is so roomy and I can go nuts!"

Even my mom and dad agreed that he is noticeably happier and they can see why I was begging for a C+C Cage!

How ironic is it that your guinea pig's name is "Coco" and my guinea pig's name is Chocolate, You bought your grids from Bed, Bath, and Beyond. And I am going to buy them over there aswell. Wow and I was also going to ask if the grids were safe too. Haha thanks for posting up this thread. :) It helped alot.
