Cheap Cage ideas?

photosavvy · Jun 15, 2013

I need a really inexpensive way to do a guinea pig in the US. I am low on funds and my pig is needing a new cage. All advice helps. He's on his own right now because He needs a bigger cage in order to have a cage-mate.

Is it possible to put a sheet on my bedroom floor and set up borders so he can't go under the dressers or beds or in the closet and let him stay in my room like that? keep in mind I don't have grids so I would probably have to find something else to use.

I don't think free roam is the safest idea. I would only keep my pigs in a cage but I have seen some people build closet cages... I don't know if that is the best idea.

Have you try to find grids? Since you're in US, it should not be that hard to find. Try Craigslist, Goodwill and Freecycle. You can also look for cheap coroplast.
You can use shower curtain under the cage.

Edit to add: What's your budget for the cage?
Grids are about $20 from these places:
