So excited Im gonna give it a go and build a new bigger cage today. The biggest yet, I am going for a 3x6 base and a 1x6 loft. I have one that likes going up and down the ramp lol. Right now they are in a 2x5 and I had a 2x2 and loft but it was too hard to clean so I took it off. I dont think having the 1x6 along the back will pose a problem with cleaning. This cage will also be completely enclosed as I am putting it in the living room and I have 3 cats who are very curious about their piggie sisters lol. The living room is where the kids tv and toys are so they will have lots of interaction in there, and we still have the family room for our adult space.
