Hello everyone, I am new to the forum and I have been lurking around here for a few days. I purchased a young male cavy for my seven year old daughter for her B-Day. I bought a 18" x 30" cage and read more here and thought it would be like me living in my bathroom. So I returned before constuction. I read alot about the C&C cages but I decided to use wire shelving sections to make a 6' x 3' x16" tall rectangle checked at 1" x 5" with a coraplas bottom with 5" returns up the sides. Is this ok or is there a reason everyone uses the connectors and the smaller squares for the pens. Thanks Robert
