need help or opinions

It is going to be more expensive to purchase one thats already set up. You can buy grids at Target or Bed Bath and Beyond. Coroplast can be purchased at sign stores but you dont necessarily need it. I hope that helps!

so the grids are like the bars?? that go around (or make the Cage?)

Yes this link will show you pictures of the grids. The 3rd and 5th picture are the ones your looking at..

storage cubes at Target

Make sure you can get the 8 or 9 hole grids cause they will try to get out and may get stuck!

thanks for the link now i know what i am looking for but what is the coroplast? Thanks for the help as well

Your welcome! Coroplast is corrugated plastic. People use these at sign shops. Fast signs is a pretty popular shop and thats where I get mine. You will have to do a little research to see where you can get it. For a 4ft by 8ft sheet of coroplast its normally around $30 but a LOT of people find cheap prices. Also, people use shower curtains as a base or towels. Whatever works will be fine, but the shower curtain/towels will only work well with fleece in my opinion. Hope that helps!

that does thank you i just have to find a sign shop and make my way to a bigger town to go to target lol thanks for all your help if you have any other opinions or suggestions i will gladly take them into consideration. Thanks!!

Thats good! When you find a coroplast shop, you can give them the measurements you need and they will cut it! At least the one I went to will. I bought one sheet and it was horrible, so if you are a bad crafty person like me and can't use a box cutter in one straight line then a good suggestion would be to let them see it lol. I showed them the instructions on how to cut it from this website Good luck!

DO NOT get the grids that are 8x8 space across. The spacing between the bars are too wide and guinea pigs can get their head stuck.

Only buy grids that are 9x9 across.

You can also call your local sign stores to ask for coroplast (corrugated plastic). If you can't find coroplast, you can use plastic shower curtain to line the cage, just make sure your piggies cannot chew the shower curtain.

is there anything else i can use besides coroplast as the bottom?

Yes, I used a outdoor table cloth that is waterproof. It works great. I just layed it down and layed fleece on top of it with a few layers of flannel in between. It is wonderful. My little guy loves it.

Awsome thanks
