Here is my 3x4 (on a 2 grids high stand) with the new cage liner that my sister and I sewed this week. My cage, instead of having connectors all the way around, has cable tie hinges on the front of the cage to make french doors for easier cleaning. They are secured to the cage base with binder clips so that they cannot open.

This first picture is with the french doors open.

And then with the french doors closed.

And here is the cage with all of the hideys, hay rack, pellets, water bottle, and pigs!

Nice. I just finished my cage today. Will upload pics later. I also got a new piggy today. I now have a trio

New piggy is. New piggy is not shy at all. Walked right up to the existing two. And took the veggie they were eating right out of their mouths LoL

And my cage is a non stop chatter of squeaks. It's adorable. Popcorn and sprinting. They all had a bath together. Blowdry too. And a quick brush. Nails clipped

Poor boy. The new one. His nails. We're spiraling.

If i regularly clip. Will this eventually correct itself? As the quick recedes? Will I be able to clip.off the spiral and fix his poor paws? He has one front.paw and back paw that's curling nails. Can't be very comfortable to walk on

@lunarminx thank you for the advice, unfortunately I don't have the funds to buy anymore stuff, nor am I sure where to get them in england. I did manage to make a lid for the cage with left over grids and it seems to be holding good so far, just use padlocks to keep it shut! :)

Thanks again

Your cages all put mine to shame but here goes:

Daggett and Norbert's cage:
10014344_709788432396415_3138486005775238919_o.jpg

It's a Midwest Habitat with an attached "large" Super Pet cage. They love it and seem much happier now than they were in that 20 gallon aquarium they were in when I got them.

My cage for my two boars isn't as creative as the ones I've seen on here lol. But they love that they have a gate where we let them out every night to run laps around the room. They go back inside when they need to go or when they are tired so we don't have to chase them around to catch them. The room is guinea pig proof of course but unfortunately it is carpet and accidents do happen (thank goodness for carpet stain removers) but it's a sacrifice we were willing to make :D

Here's ours! We need to get a larger piece of fleece but otherwise it's done. This houses my 2 guinea pigs Squeaky and Strawberry. They are really small piggies. I keep being surprised by some of the large piggies I see on here since our two are so tiny!

Our coro is on the outside of the cage since the table the cage is on is *slightly* too small for it to be 2 grids wide. The coro helps to support the edges of the cage just enough. The chew tunnel is only a temporary thing I put in there while we weren't quite done w/ the cage and Squeaky kept chewing on the coro. I know it's not the healthiest thing for them to chew on and they really don't chew on it much at all (they mostly chew on their hay). So I'm not too worried about removing it. They like to hang out inside of it.



Without further ado, here's our cage.

Here is a shot of all the cages. The girls are on the left, then three individual 2X3s for the boys. I'm still deciding what kind of fleece I want for the boys, but I know I'm ready for the camo to go! And everyone needs new fleece forests.

@acissej do you know how old they are? They look like babies whose ears haven't fully flopped yet.

I am not sure. The vet thought they were a few months old when I took them in about a month ago.

Kinda a little late to this thread. My cage is a midwest cage and soon I will be getting the midwest add on cage.
I have mine split in half. One half is the kitchen or bedding area while the other is the fleece area.

Photo on 6-22-14 at 11.29 AM #3.jpgThe kitchen area. I got Maple demonstrating the water bottle :)

Thats my cage so far.

Everyone's cage has so much cool stuff going on that ours seems pretty plain by comparison. We try to keep the floor space open because they are loving running around so much. We have tons more stuff, but it just ends up getting headbutted out of prime running space anyway ;) We try to change up the organization every time we clean the cage so they aren't bored.

We did bunk bed style houses. The boys, Nemo and Eeyore are on top and the girls, Peaches, Roo and Winnie are on the bottom.

I like the whole fleece lining the grids. Is that to prevent them from chewing on the grids or to keep warmth in? Or both? How do you have them fastened?

I think it is part of her liner. Some members here use liners that go over the walls of the coroplast trays.
