Hey guys, I know majority of you that keep your guinea pigs inside use the coroplast/storage cube cages.. I was just wondering though, are there ANY store bought cages that would be suitable for two guinea pigs?

Please let us know the brand of this cage. I have never in my life seen a pre made small animal cage that measured nearly 4' x 8'.Matt & Guins said:They are (from memory) 240cm long x 120cm wide.
I saw that cage you posted in the gallery. I deleted it because there was no way it was that big especially when I compared it to the size of the Guinea pig inside it and the water bottle.Bellebelle said:Almost all pet stores sell the large cages. I have one myself. It measures 150 long and 75 wide. So its almost a 2 x 5 size plus it has a loft and plenty of room to add more.
You have got to be kidding me? You put 5 sows in a cage that measures 2.3' x 4.59' ? That is less then 2 square feet per animal. That means you had each pig in the equivalent of a cage that would measure 1'x2' or 30.48cm x 60.96cm. That is NOWHERE near enough room!Lissa said:I have several store bought cages that measure 140cm by 70cm. They have an upper level. The upper level measures 50cm by 70cm. I place up to 5 sows in a cage of this size.

It's plenty room as I offer the feed and water on the upper level so they have a lot of floor space to do laps. These cages set me back AU$189 for two (special buy) and AU$225 for the rest.

The cages I have are the ones with large plastic trays and a wired top and sides. There is a door at the front and one at the top. There are a few different sizes in this model, I have the largest ones. I do have a smaller one that I use as a hospital cage when required. The ones I have are big enough to climb into.
What is the brand name and make? I am still not convinced. It still looks small to me, much smaller then you say it is. I want to look up the size of that cage myself. I can tell you right away that it is nowhere near 5 feet long as you say. Especially if that grid you put up against it is a normal sized grid.Bellebelle said:Voodoo Joint- It is that big,
