I think I could figure out how to scan my pattern in since I have a scanner. I just have to make it the right scale. If you want I can let you know if I figure it out if you want to give the pattern a try.

That would be amazing!!! �� Thank you!!

The first cage I have ever built the midwest just go to small for my girls to have a good time. So from 2 midwest cages we now have two 2X5 C&C cages and they are so happy! new cage.jpg

I finally had the chance to expand this weekend! The girls (Abby, Penelope and Phoebe) had a 2x4 and now have a 2x5 with a 2x1 loft. They were separated until a week ago (two in one cage and one in another) and the introduction went amazingly well. No chasing, no arguing, nothing. My base on the main level is wood pellets and the base on the loft is Uhaul pads. After I took this picture, I took out the fleece hidey - they never use that one and I figured they would rather have more floor space instead.
PS - My rottie absolutely LOVES these piggies and they love him too! They come up to the edge of the cage and touch noses, especially Phoebe. And no, he is never left unsupervised with them!

Here is Binky and Bilbo's cage. Bilbo is still camera shy and hides unless I'm holding lettuce. Today's hay holder is a repurposed baby toy. I like switching it up to keep things interesting. They have 3 or 4 different hay holders.

The only real constants are the huts and the two stuffed toys. The zebra is Binky's. My daughter (henceforth Mouselette) decided immediately that he needed a friend and gave it to him from her personal collection. It was kind of adorable.

Binky is completely hers. She brushes and feeds him. She has a hard time understanding why Bilbo doesn't love her yet. Binky loved her immediately.

(Yoga mat, because I don't want guinea pig pee on my carpet).

They also spend large amounts of time in the kitchen, almost to the point of that being a second home. It's about 50sq ft of floor space, which is small for a kitchen, but great for them and really easy to fence off. I just lay out a blanket, put out food and water and hay, give them huts and a litter box and let them have it.

Treats go under the stacking cups. The boys particularly like that game.

and here, because there really are two.

Hi! I'm new to the forum and new to guinea pigs, but am head over heels in love with them:love:! I have two boys, Snickers and Twix. This is the cage I made for them. It's a 2 x 5 with a 2 x 2 loft, offset to add storage under the loft.

Oh goodness, my cage pics aren't as great as everyone else's but I will try to upload some decent ones.The upstairs now has a better fleecy forest, and we are going to expand the loft to a 2x2 so we can move the Cavy Cafe up there. I also had to include the pic of Cuddles zooming down the ramp because they both use the loft a ton, especially her and it's lots of run to watch them race up and down.

I have 4 boys and have been looking for a sapyed sow to be a new addition. The top two levels are one cage bottom two are the other. The pictures are just after cleaning with some cage items missing.

We have a cement floored basement, so we don't have to use coro in order to protect the floors. Soooo we use an expandable puppy run for a cage instead of grids, its amazing and large or small depending on what you need. Then we use fleece bedding and shake the poops off everyday, and clean the fleece every week. We have four pigs in it.20180202_090909.jpg20180111_125443.jpg

We are new to the forum, please comment on our converted ferret cage! Still want to add a floor in the middle like we did in the top and find one more shelf for the ferret nation cage. All input appreciated!20180204_215025.jpg
