I just went out to Kmart, and bought 2 packs of 23 grids!
Im not sure how I will make my cage but if anyone has any ideas, I'm open to them. I just changed my mind from a hutch to a C&C, and I'm completely clueless on how to make my cage. I definitely want a second floor, but with this many grids, I could have a guinea hotel!!! (Not that I will)
if anyone has some unique cage setups, I'd love to see them!

You can keep it for quarantine for a new piggy, for a place to put your pigs when your cleaning their cage or some people like to use the base of it for a "kitchen" area in there c&c cages. :)

I used mine for my second piggys quarantine and also for a place to put them while I clean out their cage. (It doesn't take long, like thirty minutes total.)

I had mine for a week until I returned it, upgraded to a Western then upgrade to a C&C. I kept my Western and have used it as a temporary cage. I put my piggies in it when I clean my C&C. I've also used it as a QT cage when one of my piggies got sick.

Scroll down to labgirl5's post. (Also lissie's) She shows a few pictures as an example of how to use it as a kitchen in a c&c cage. :) Or are you planning on using your loft as a kitchen so they have more room "downstairs"? (That's what I did and I love it!!)


Also... I suppose you could use the base as a loft too, just cut out a section/entrance on the side of it (and file it down so there's no sharp edges!) right where the ramp would go.

Ah, okay, just making sure they're safe! My Kmart only sells the 5x5 grids :p.
