C&C My Guinea Pig Cage

Here are some pics

And a cute matching cage at that! Super cute. They look so excited. My pigs always popcorn with a fresh cage. Love the hanging fleece in back.

That is my version of a hammock. Initially I made it as a hidey hole and but they ended up using it as a hammock instead. In the evenings, there are usually 3 piggies napping up there, 4 is a crowd. The fourth is usually underneath.

Great cage! I can't believe they didn't poop that whole time.

Smart Piggies. I have a corner fleece and I found my little guy gets on top and one day he went over and was running in the kitchen!!! I only have it down two squares from the top and didn't even think about anyone doing that as the other 2 are older and not climbers, but baby did. He hasn't done it since though. I don't think he liked being out on his own.
Super cute cage

During cleaning, I put my girls in a separate temporary cage (mid western) while I clean top to bottom and replace everything. There is now poop

Thanks for the compliment.

The last piggie we adopted (Snowball) taught everyone to jump on it. When they saw her do it, everyone started copying her. None were wheekers until she came into the herd.

Great cage!

@CavieGuy what do you use for your hay? It looks cool, id love to try it. Ive been looking for something to keep my hay in since i got a new piggy and he likes to pee and poop on his hay:/

@Krystaleb97 I've been using this plastic container dispenser that I got from Ikea for over a year. I just covered the back of it with some spare coroplast that I left over.

Never had issues with this container at all.

That's brilliant, I love it and the price is right! Our hay rack is a wire shower caddy. I got the idea from someone on the forum here, I don't remember who it was. Then I saw the perfect shower caddy at a thrift shop for $2. It's like it was made to be a hay rack. I love thrift shops almost as much as I love the internet. lol

LOL! The way you said that gave me an image that just cracks me up! Guinea pigs on a trampoline!

It looks so nice! I love how everything matches! Did you buy the fleece online premade into things at a guinea pig site, or just buy a couple yards of fleece and made your own stuff?

The ikea hay rack is a genius idea!

How is your hammock supported in the back?

You can buy those things at IKEA... Not sure what they call them, sorry.
