So I got that guinea pig habitat plus cage from amazon and it is working great. I have three guinea pigs so I wanted to get another one, for obvious reasons, but I can't figure out how to set the thing up. I mean I know how to set it up, but not put them together. I need help. I wan them to have more room, and am thinking about getting another one so they have even MORE room, but first I need to figure out how to put them together. Please if you can send me a link for a video or can tell me hoe please do! Thanks.
 
You have to flip the 2nd section around (kind of like inside out) and match up the gates where the ramps will open opposite each other. You can then use the dual ramp cover for the base going over the ramps. And I would suggest not keeping any other divider in the cage. Are you putting the 2 in an "L" formation or straight across?
 
I am trying to put it in an "L" formation. Okay I will try it and see. I will post when I figure it out.
 
I have pix on my home computer I can upload later if you need me to... they might help you to visualize the set-up
 
Yes that might help.I am going to try and do it with what you told me, though if I can't I would love to see those pictures. Thank you so much! I will post in about 5 minuets or so.
 
Okay, I feel really stupid right now. I still can't figure it out. Please post those picture whenever you can. Thank you so much for your help.

Sorry, it took me awhile to get this posted...
Look at the first picture: see how the doors open inward? Just line the door up with the door on the 1st cage. Make sense?
This is not how my cage is today, I have both my MWs connected long ways with NO divider
Ask if something doesn't add up
 
Okay when I turn one of the panels around this happens.

So now They open the way I need them to, but I can't hook it on because one side has those and the other doesn't
 
Where did you separate them at? If you take one junction apart you should have a hook on one side and a straight bar on the other, you then flip it and put it back together
 
And you should only have to take apart 1 of the cages, leave the other alone
 
If I do that then I end up with two sides that have hooks and two sides that are straight.
 
4 sides? You should only have 2 sides unattached. How many sections did you take apart?
 
Yeah I do have two sides unattached. I mean when you reattach it once you have flipped it. When I try to reattach it to the sides it was originally attached to before I flipped it.
 
What you need to do is this

@Soecara I did that. After I figured that out (Thanks dearpokey) I realized that the cage I already had up had a problem. Now that door is opening the wrong way. I need it to fall back ward in to the cage, but instead it is falling out of the cage. When it is opened.
 
I am going to post a video so you guys can see what I am doing. It is uploading to youtube so that I can post it on here.
 
Okay so this is the video. What am I doing wrong? [video=youtube;7JnKDelm0Dg]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7JnKDelm0Dg&feature=youtu.be[/video]
 
You can do as you mentioned at the end and turn the cage around/opposite but this may cause your doors on the other ends to be backwards. Another option is to use pliers to remove the doors and the hook and put on the opposite side. I've done that with mine. I have two of these I used to use.
 
I think that is what I am going to do. Thank you @Soecara, @dearpokey, and @blessedmom! Nothing can make you feel more dimwitted then a new guinea pig cage!
 
most of us have cursed at a cage or grids ourselves!
