a 2x2 is too small for one guinea pig. Minimum size for one is a 2x3. Why are they separated? If you have a female and male, I'd have the male neutered and house them together.

congrats! It is nice to see others so excited. We have had our piggies for 2 weeks and already thinking about or next rebuild. They love the 2nd story, so we are going to add a third. Have fun.

the grids are fairly large and I think if I compared them to other grids it would be a 2x3
and they are male and female and I don't think I have a savvy savvy vet near me to neuter and I will be up grading!
But for now its sooooooooooooo much better then her old pet store cage good thing she only spent a couple weeks in that thank god

GuineaLoveer · Apr 17, 2013

and once I up grade I may be getting anther piggy for my female!
and my grids are 14x14

I agree.

And when you say 14x14 are you saying inches? If so, that's the size of a standard grid. 2x2 is not the appropriate size for 1 guinea pig. If necessary, build 2 separate 2x3s if you can fit those in better. Or find a corner to fit a 2x5 or 2x6 in/divide diagonally.

well done!! at least its better than a pet store cage, at the moment im building a large cage, its a pain, im having trouble cutting coro hehe

couchon · Apr 17, 2013

Yeah, 2x2 is not enough space for one pig, unless it's very temporary (as in you are expanding within this month or so), and 14x14 is the normal size for grids, so they are not any larger.

I fell ya I had trouble cutting it too lol

pinky · Apr 17, 2013

What's the dimensions of the cage? Are you using cube grids or something else? What the size of the spaces in the cubes?

GuineaLoveer · Apr 17, 2013

I am using grids I got them from bed bath and beyond (broken link removed)
and I think I was wrong theirs ten cubes on each sry

MozzaAnPam · Apr 17, 2013

Hey! Great job!! I was very proud when I got my first C&C cage done too!

I have those exact grids(as do approx 90% of the users here). And a 2x2 made of those grids won't be appropriately sized for 1 guinea pig. Keep in mind, the sow is pregnant(right?) The babies need space to run. That's an extra 2-4 guinea pigs. The cage for them should be atleast 2x5(min for 3 adult guinea pigs).

pinky · Apr 17, 2013

The photo shows they're 9 spaces ones which are 14" across which means each side of the cage is only 28 x 28 which is only 5.44 square feet.

GuineaLoveer · Apr 17, 2013

im not sure if shes preggo her stomach ha-sent gotten much bigger and still no movement

couchon · Apr 17, 2013

Even if she is not, that's not enough space --you need to expand by at least 2 cubes in length (one for each pig)
