Planning on setting up the cage soon and this is the plan. Coroplast as big as possible, 3' wide and as close to 7' as long as possible (may need to rearrange room to get all 7' feet out of it). It will be at least 4' long though. The cage will sit under my finch cage so the guinea pig cage will catch all the timothy hay the finches throw out. The finch cage is 21"x~30". I will take the wheels off the finch cage and just sit it in the g-pig cage. The finch cage has a built in shelf about 6-7" off the ground when the wheels are off and I am going to use this as a second level for the guinea pigs. I will cover it with something (otherwise it would be bare large-spaced wires) and build a little step.
I found a source for the Coroplast. When I walked in and asked about the sheets his response was 'rabbit or guinea pig? I have sold about 50 of these things for that, apparently we are on some website. I'd like to thank someone for that'.
Today I will be looking for some grids, preferably just white.
I have not decided on what bedding to use. I work at a small mom and pop pet shop and get a great discount so stuff like Cell-Sorb and Carefresh (we carry both) is a lot cheaper for me than for others, I understand how expensive it is. But from what people on here have said I may try the timothy on pine method since I will probably just get a huge bale of timothy from the local feed store anyways. I could get huge things of pine from the feed store or my work.
What do you guys think?
