Guys your cages are great. Love the guinea pig saga pinky. yay. I update my cage a bit so I will take pictures again today.

I use a shower curtain. I had to literally build my cage on a moment's notice so I had no time to find coroplast. I planned to but I still haven't and the shower curtain does it's job. I'm starting to crave a lift out box though.
I revamped my cage last night, moving the ramp and using pipes as a support for the loft instead of a grid. I like it so much more and so do the piggies.
What kinda pipes are those? Where did you get them?

I'll eventually convince my husband that we can go bigger, but for now this is our setup.

I cut the grids down to use, then I sanded the rough edges so they weren't sharp. I used a drimel type tool.I love the little lofts you have set up! Where did you find the mini grids?!

I used heavy metal closet shelving supports to hold the front up so I didn't have to have it enclosed. The zip ties are stronger than the connectors and don't come apart so they work well.How did you support the loft areas? Were zip ties enough to keep it sturdy?
Your cage is beautiful! I do have one question though: how on earth do you get the top off? I am moving into a home with a dog, she's peaceful, but I'd really like a top on the girls for my own peace of mind. I wanted to do the same sort of design, but I'm worried the top may cave in, or cleaning will be awful. Any feedback?Just finished it up last night and moved the girls in. They were immediately happier and running around and popcorning. They seem to love it. I'm really happy with how it turned out too. Couldn't have done it without the knowledge from this site.
So onto my 2x12!!! Yes 2x12!
