Oh my goodness! I'm getting so much inspiration/great ideas from all of your pics. My two little guys went from a store bought to a 2x4 with upper level:

The boys hit adolescence though and the 2nd level (and wooden hidey) were becoming grounds for bullying, so I took it off and they now have a 2x5 L shape:

Hoping to get another boar at the beginning of May and as I have to move this to another area of the room, I'm sure it will find a new form soon. :)

We're moving in 2 weeks. I totally cannot wait to buy the supplies. It is tempting to buy them right now xD

do you wash those hanging pieces of fabric, since they are dragging on the bottom?
I think those are a great idea! I just want to be prepared before I give it a try

I just added the fleece forest a few weeks ago and so far they aren't really dirty but I probably will have to wash them eventually. I have them attached with Velcro. My girls really seem to like it in there.

Two bent grids (they were made of plastic) you could use regular grids. Just bend each grid into and L shape and zip tie them together. and something comfy to lay on.

This is an overview of my 3x5 C&C cage divided into two 2.5x3 cages. On the left side is my single sow, Millie. On the right side are my current guinea pig fosters; two 4 month old sows.
View attachment 24095
This is the fosters half of the cage. Jen's Custom Crafts Huts, wood tunnel, litter box, hay rack, pellets, and water bottle. Also they have a Oxbow hay mat that I slide under the divider so each half gets some of it :)

Piper was checking out the camera, and I thought it was too cute of a picture not to add! :)

Aww! Piper is so cute and I love that name on her! Why not adopt them? :p

I love them so much, but my guinea pig is to aggressive toward other guinea pigs and I would rather foster pigs without homes and help my rescue, though I felt especially close to these girls. Also, they were just adopted by a wonderful family yesterday, and it was probably the hardest time I've had to let a foster go. On the bright side, I have a new guinea pig foster that really needs someone to tame her so she is more adoptable! :) That's my job :)

So I've added another loft to the boys' area. They both love lounging in the loft area and were getting possessive over it, thus I added another small loft that they easily jump up and down to and it took care any fighting over lounging arrangements. I also added an extra food dish to the upper most loft of the lower level so there is no bullying.

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

Boys' level


Girls' level

When you say lift out box you mean a coroplast box that is built to remove for cleaning? Thanks in advance.
