Hi Everyone,
I am brand new to making a C&C cage, so I have a few basic questions regarding the inner dimensions of a cage.
I am looking at the recommended grids from this website and they measure either 14" or 14.25" square, so a 2x4 cage would have an inside dimension of either 28" x 56" or 28.5" x 57".
If I cut the coroplast, according to the directions on this site, there would be a small gap between the outer edge of the coroplast and the actual cage grid, allowing for the connectors at the bottom edge, correct?
And...
If I buy (broken link removed) fleece liners:
With these dimensions:
==========
Product Dimensions
Note: GuineaDad Fleece Liner 2.0 will shrink couple inches after initial couple washes. Don't worry though, we've made the liners larger to compensate for it. The liner may still be a bit larger than the cage after the wash.
- Midwest Guinea Habitat size: cage size ~24"x47" ( 61x120cm)
- C&C 2x4 size: cage size ~27"x56" ( 69x142cm)
- C&C 2x3 size: cage size ~27"x41" ( 69x104cm)
- C&C 2x2 size: cage size ~27"x27" ( 69x69cm)
- C&C 2x1 size: cage size ~27"x14" ( 69x36cm)
==========
it looks as though they won't fit wall-to-wall inside the coroplast right from the start (before shrinkage). Other than cutting the inside dimensions of the coroplast to accommodate the fleece (after shrinkage), what other solution is there? I like these liners and really don't want to buy fleece and U-Haul pads, etc.
Thank you!
