To all of you so against C&C Cages .... you don't *have* to use a C&C cage to give your guinea pigs adequate space. I tried C&C cages for awhile, had a variety of different difficulties with them, so I constructed something else, that, while not being a C&C cage, still meets the space recommendations of this site.
If you look at the photo gallery, there is a section called "Alternative Cages." There are many, many examples of people's cages that are *not* C&C cages, but still meet the minimum space recommendations.
The excuses for not giving your guinea pigs the space that they need - you have a dog and cat so C&C cages won't work; C&C cages are dangerous (I cannot fathom how you got that idea); and that the C&C supplies aren't available - seem pretty pathetic to me. If you're handy with tools or even just a little creative and *willing*, you can create some great cages that give your guinea pigs adequate space.
