SO...I have now completed the majority of my cage. Still need to tape and waterproof one section, and this time 'round the piggies will have a loft.
I use zip ties...not connectors (they infuriate me). Before I redid the cage (this time), I had a row of grids on top of each end of the cage...zip tied together. These are what the foam core "roof" rested on.
The Great Fat One sleeps on top of a large floor pillow I put on top of the foam core. The pillow probably weighs about 5-8 pounds, The Great Fat One is reaching 12. Here's the thing...because of the stability of the grids, I'm going to assume that I won't need any stabilization starting at the floor of the cage, holding the loft up.
Is that right?
**Cage is now a strange..."L" shape kind of. Like..an unripe "L". Main area is 2X5, but at the furthest end of the cage, there is a 1x1x1 bump out....in case that makes sense and helps with the answer at all.
