Oh my gosh! That's a very pretty and well made cage--I love the layout and how everything matches...it looks very nice.
@JellyBelly33, not to be weird and random, but my room is that exact same color! Okay, weirdness over.
Re: My piggies are so weird!I would really like to rescue guinea pigs. I cleaned out my giant closet to make room for a 2x4 c&c three level cage. The first two levels will be 2x4. The last level will be 2x1. The two boys will be on the first level, and the three girls will be on the first and second level. I plan on using fleece bedding, high quality horse hay, Oxbow alfalfa pellets for the young piggies, KMS pellets for the adults. Please recommend websites, food, toys, ect.
@Spritzysmomma- I wouldn't keep them in the closet, I kept my pigs there and i feel like it made it smell bad beciase it's enclosed.
I agree with bacon4everever, also guinea pigs need sunlight and air circulation, two things a closet does not provide. But the cage sounds cool!
I understand your concern bacon4everever. I do not know how to post pictures, but the door will be open all day, Otis a very large walk-in closet, and it has an air vent.
*it is sorry autocorrect put Otis
So cute @sweetpea123 ! Love how neat and clean it is and the fleece is adorable!
Thanks @CavyChrissy ! I am so happy hubby finally helped me make itI hated the look of the c&c cages, and I saw a plexi cage in the picture area and just had to try! The bedding I made, but the houses are from peewees piggy palace. She has such cute stuff!
Simple, but Tribble thinks this is his castle.It's not coroplast, but made from three heavy-duty plastic mortar-mixing tubes from Lowes that I cut a few walls out of with a dremmel and then gorilla taped together. I purchased this fleece at all different times, so I was pleasantly surprised with how well the wacky color scheme seemed to come together!
Here it is with all the junk crammed under it.
And it sits right next to my desk so Tribb can come over and visit when I'm working at my computer. You can see the shelf in the background also stores hideys, towels, fleece, uHaul, and baskets of toilet paper tubes.![]()
So, after realizing a month or two ago that my future cage expansion could go even a bit bigger than I had hoped (length wise, we only had room for a 2x5) by removing their loft and adding it onto the ground floor, I finally got to expand my boars cage to its final size!
Instead of the original 2x5 that I had planned, Edelweiss and Mugwort now have a nice L-shaped 2x6 cage, complete with a brand new hay rack and - once they arrive in a few weeks - a brand new fleece tunnel, corner hammock, and pee-pad for underneath their hay. (because sweeping it up off the fleece is such a pain)
Here is their original 2x4 cage with a 2x2 loft (picture from June):
And here is their swanky new 2x6 cage. (I also made a little storage area out of spare grids. It makes it look much neater.)
I still need to get some wood boards for underneath everything so that it's on a nice, flat surface. I mean, it's quite sturdy, but it just looks a bit.. lopsided at some parts.
Sorry about the terrible pictures. My room is small and I had to squish the camera into the very corner while standing on my bed to get it all in.
I have nearly finished the liner for the loft and ramp, and I still need to get some wire to finish the ramp (to keep the sides fully upright), so I’ll post again when that’s done.
It’s a 2x8 with 2x2 loft, and it houses my 3 girls.
