UK Started my Cavy Cage!!

candi · May 7, 2005

I haven't been able to find the cubes anywhere for a reasonable price so I decided to go with the wire mesh panels from homebase which Wheekster told me about. I've made the main cage all I have to do is the base and I'm going to make them a small second level using tubs. Here's a picture of the cage so far: https://www.guineapigcages.com/photos/showphoto.php?photo=2647&password=&sort=1&cat=500&page=1

Candi, that's fantastic! What sized cage have you made it then? Just out of curiosity, are you from the midlands?

Piglet · May 7, 2005

Also, will you be using correx for the base?

candi · May 7, 2005

The cage is 28" by 50". No I'm not from the midlands, I'm near Manchester. For the base I'm using cardboard covered with a thick shower curtain. I was going to use lino but the prices around here are stupid and I can't get correx as I use buses for travelling.

bromers · May 7, 2005

did you order the wire mesh panels off the internet or did you go into a shop and get them?

candi · May 7, 2005

I got them from Homebase as far as I know they don't sell them on their website. They're probably too large and bulky to send in the post.

I made the base of the cage today, here's a picture: https://www.guineapigcages.com/photos/showphoto.php?photo=2658

looking good what did you use for the base?

Piglet · May 8, 2005

She did that she used cardboard and a shower curtain. It looks really good candi, very inventive!

bromers · May 8, 2005

yes one of the best whats it called alternative material cages in a while.

Piglet · May 8, 2005

Oops, in my post above I meant 'she said that she used'

How much were those wire thingys?

candi · May 8, 2005

The wire mesh cost about £16 altogether for 3 large sheets.

I've just finished making the door to the cage for floor time:

There's a final picture of the cage here: https://www.guineapigcages.com/photos/showphoto.php?photo=2701

I've had to also baby proof it with cardboard until they get bigger.

Piglet · May 12, 2005
