I re-introduced Popper back into the herd and it went well.. so far. So I decided to open the lower cage up minus the bully male, Gibbons who's still in his own cage.
Here's the outcome:

This is the right side of the cage:

This is the 8 1/2 long part of the cage that's under the girls cage on a table:

And this is the left side of the cage that use to be Popper's cage that's now open to the other cage, it was a 2x4:

Here's the leader of the herd, Errol. He's bit of a bully.. loves to chases the others and block them in hidey houses.. I'm hoping in time he lets off a bit as he get's older. He's not even a 1 year old yet.

A 12 pack!? Maybe if you cut down on Mr. Gibbons' Coors Light intake he would be a little less beligerant? lol

Seriously though, great layout! Lots of cute piggies in there.
 
Popper, he's still unsure to explore the rest but he's just too cute not to show a photo!:

Everything was washed and cleaned before putting everyone back in the cage, and all were introduced to Popper on new territory.. my hallway. I wish I could have all the boys together but Gibbons fights with Popper, Angus, and Hedwig and I can't take having another abscess happen. Gibbons just healed from a nasty one himself. He's constantly chewing the bars and I feel bad but when else am I to do? Rehoming isn't an option. Hopefully when he get's older as well as everyone else, he'll settle down a bit.

Any feedback would be nice!
 
Oh gosh, that made me laugh too hard!
I'm not a drinker. My husband does on occasion and the boxes are perfect for hidey houses! lol.

Thank you!
 
WOW!!!! I love it! They are all really cute and I love all the space they get!
 
Oh my goodness! 12 pigs! I am jealous! What ages do they range?
 
I actually have 10 guinea pigs.
The females I have are Calidora, Bellatrix, and Ellerby. The mom is 2 years old and her two females are about 3 months old. (Don't have photos in this thread but in do on my Halloween photo thread)
And the males.. lets see.... Budington and Hedwig about 3 years old. Saber, Popper, and Gibbons are about 1 year. And Errol is about 9 months. And then Angus is three months. He was the only male that Calidora had.
*Note - I didn't breed. I rescued the dad, Popper and a few weeks later took in the mom and babies unexpectedly. Mom and females are separated from baby boy!
:]
Basically 3 months to 3 years. Ages are just what previous owners/shelters said which are never exact. All my guinea pigs have been bounced from home to home, shelter to shelter.
 
I also laughed when I saw the Coors.... looks like Mr. Gibbons has all the company he needs..... Everything looks fabulous!
 
Ha! I use Shinner boxes! :p

I love the layout and all the cute guinea pigs! =D
 
Thanks everyone! I know it doesn't look at neat as coroplast but it works and it's cheap since I'm always trying to find ways to expand and mess around with this layout. :]
 
errol is just precious!! he just makes me melt! i've always had smooth-hairs and i've recently become completely taken with abbys ❤️
