That's great-thanks! :)

Mind if I ask a few questions? Are they metal or plastic? What colour are they? What size are the holes in the grid? And, finally, do Argos deliver? Thanks. :)

Just wanted to add something I forgot to address (and it seems to be too late to edit my original post). Although I believe that it's entirely possible to build an outdoor run that is animal proof (unless you have a problem with bears/tigers/giant mutated crocodiles etc), I would never leave...

I have an outdoor run for my guineas, and as long as the weather is nice (I'm in England) and I'm actually at home, I'll leave them out there all day as they seem to love running around in the fresh air, eating all the grass. I wouldn't leave them out there on their own, (for example, when I go...

I just got my cubes through Counters Direct ( (broken link removed) -already mentioned on the first page of this thread, just under a different name-great company by the way), and it cost me just over £70 (including £15 shipping) for 21, 12"x16" stainless steel grids, and 40 connectors. They're...

On the subject of grid hole sizes: I've just noticed that on the main page it says they shouldn't be bigger than 1.5", yet the cubes I recently bought have a hole size of just under 2" per square-has anyone else got similar and encountered problems? It isn't fully built yet, but I've put Molly...

They have a dry mix, fresh hay and vegetables.

Hi all. Just a quickie-I have 2 runs, one containing buster bunny, and the other containing my guinea pigs Smudge and Molly. These runs are seperated by wire mesh, and here is where the potential problem lies... Buster likes to lay right next the partition, and his fur pokes through. Molly...

Nothing more to add, other than a huge 'thankyou' to you all. :)

Thankyou, you've all been very kind. :) I still feel bad about leaving him on his own (well, not staying with him-he had Buster, Smudge and Molly with him)-I was torn between staying with him because he was dying, and leaving him alone because I was hoping he was just having trouble passing his...

Sparkle passed away this morning. He obviously wasn't well, but he didn't seem to be in pain-his breathing became wheezy at some points, but he wasn't crying out in pain. I feel really bad because I wasn't with him when he passed away, but I couldn't face sitting up the whole night and watching...

Thankyou. I cleaned him as best as I could, but he hasn't had a pee for ages now (as far as I can tell), and I know that's not good. I hate to see him like this, but selfishness is stopping me from having him put down. I'd feel like I was betraying him, but if he gets any worse I'm going to...

I just checked his penis (saw the vet do it last week) and it seemed to blocked with a load of gritty white stuff-I've cleared most of it, and now I'll try to get rid of the rest. Any chance this is bladder stone being flushed, and the reason why his stomach area seemed slightly firm and why...

He's still quite lethargic. He's on my lap, and I'm massaging his tummy because it felt a little hard-he's also got a runny nose now. I hate this.

I've got him wrapped in a towel on my lap-I think he's going.
