The first time I owned Guinea Pigs, it was when my children were pre-teen. We all enjoyed them, but when they passed, we put everything away. Now my kids are grown, and I decided to adopt a couple Guinea Pigs for myself!
I had always kept my piggies in a fish tank (20 gal.), but have always advocated larger is better when it comes to small animal pets!! Unfortunatly I never had the money to buy anything bigger from the pet store.
I never new about C&C Cages until this time around when I accidently came across this website!!! I was thrilled to find that I could build them a 2 story cage for very little money!!!
I used my $30.00 frequent shoppers bonus bucks from K-Mart to buy the cubes & some extra bedding - the cubes were $19.99, but they were basically free to me! Then asked my neighborhood sign maker if I could purchase the Coroplast from him -- he gave me 2 pieces (4'x4' and 2'x3') for only $10.00!!! So after reading the directions posted here I now have a WONDERFUL piggy play area for my guinea pigs!!
I've uploaded the pictures of my 2-level cage in the multi-level photo area in this website (although I'm not sure how to attach them to this posting).
Thank you so much for your help!!
