it's coroplast & sandpaper for grip

Hi Louis :) I made mine like 18mths ago so I'm not sure where you would get it now. the coroplast was real easy to find... just look up "sign shop" & you will find a few that sell coroplast :) The cubes are the hard part. I got mine from 2 bunnings stores & they said they were old stock from...

you open a door and get the piggie out

nah, they slip around a bit when they try to go fast but it doesn't bother them... the same as if they are having floor time on a hard surface. Anyway, most of the time there is more bedding so they dont get it that bad.

Hi guys :) thx for the comments. I've never had any try to jump out of the top (or fall) but Chet (above) will jump out if left with the bottom doors open. They will push the coroplast flaps down and walk on that to get to the other side (therefore the comment above about not leaving both sides...

Sry... that chart didn't work... Your cavy's diet: Pellets, Oaten Hay, Fresh Grass (when available), Vegies: Carrots, Tomato, Cos (Romaine) Lettuce, Cucumber (Apple/Continental), Capsicum (green/yellow/red), Celery, Parsley, Alfalfa Sprouts, Snow Pea Sprouts, Apple (Pink Lady), Nectarine...

popcorning Welcome to the world of Cavy Woltra :) What you described sounds exactly like popcorning to me :) It sounds like you have two very happy piggies! About the rumbling/purring... there are so many different noises that piggies make... the rumblestrut is my fav, when they strut while...

For any other Aussies out there who have been wondering about this "Timothy Hay", I've been doing a bit of research... The closest we can get in Aus is called "Oaten Hay". Oaten Hay has minimum 95% Oats & max 5% wild oats & Barley. Grade: AH1+ is the purest/best, AH2 is medium, & AH3 is...

Hey Oscar :)You must be enjoying the snow! :) The last time I saw snow I was 3yo. But that's beside the point... :D I'm glad to hear that you will wait til you have the money to make them a proper cage :) If you can make the new cage totally separate from anything else, then you can introduce...

wood shavings Hi golden sonata :) Where are you from, to start with? I'm in Perth, Australia & I can get it from Stock Feed stores or pet stores. Big ones like "City Farmers" are usually the cheapest. They tend to get expensive in small bags from small pet stores :S The only way of knowing...

hideys One that I found fun & easy when my guys were little, was Tissue boxes! They come in all sorts of colours & patterns. I just expanded the hole (made sure all plastic film was removed) & cut an extra hole in it somewhere. They loved hiding in them, sitting on them, running through them...

getting new boar Hi again oscar54 :) first things first... are you planning on BOTH of them sharing the 2x2? If you are... this is not actually enough room for 1 adult cavy & definitely not enough room for 2. If you look at the site again https://guineapigcages.com/ 2x3 is the minimum space...

Where are they at the moment? Hi again... Was just wondering how they are all housed at the moment? Do they all get along? Shell :)

Doors Hi lachaped :) I made my C&C by securing everything with cable ties instead of using any of the connectors that came with the grids (I think that the connectors look ugly, but that's only my opinion. & it's neater without the bits from the connectors sticking out). So when it came to...

getting a new male... I was lucky... I brought my second boy home when their C&C was ready, so they were introduced to the cage & to each other at the same time. Also my boy was only 5mo & I was introducing him to a 3wo baby. They got along fine & have not had any problems so far. Made sure...
