When I bought my two boars about just over a month ago I think they were small and I had a perfect size 100 indoor cage from pets at home for them but as I'm new to owning guinea pigs and only had a rabbit and other pets before, I didn't realise how quickly they grow.
I need a new cage but can't find any C&C grids to make my own and the website I found a already made one on, I forgot to bookmark so it's a no no...

I have absolutely no idea what I'm going to do about their living arrangements now..Anyone have any Ideas either about cages or where I can buy C&C grids in UK
Thanks:)

You can also use metal closet shelving for the walls or a shorter X pen that is marketed for dogs. Not sure what is available in the UK but I'd look thru the photo section so you can see some other ideas for cages.

That was my problem too. So, i bought metal grids and cut it the site i wanted, adjusted to the size of the coroplast base. You can find grids in a construction store for example. If u want i Can show You a pic

There are a ton of people from your area that I'm sure will pop on when they can. Your time is pretty late they usually are on earlier...

I can't remember the stores that people have found them but I know people in the UK can find them...

These are the grids i bought. Its easy to cut, manageable and harmless to the piggies.

Thank you for the replies. I've found myself somewhere to get the grids from after looking around other threads.
