Who has the biggest cage on cavycages?

[Myspoiltpiggies]

aww, I don't have big cages either - I am trying to find the materials still. I have found some places, but they don't have any in stock at the moment...

I have a 3 level 2 by 4. I think it's the biggest it's going to be now..it would make for an impossible cleaning task if it was much bigger!!!

That sounds fab. Would be brilliant if I could make mine that someday!

In the stable I turned a 24'x12' stall into a guinea pig pen for 7 but it's not completely temperature controlled. They have two 2x4 and one 2x3 in the house for weather extremes. I bring them in when it gets over 80F or below 60F in the stable. Still need to finish it off and upload some pictures.

How on earth do you safely enclose a pen that size??? Thats feet right?
I hope you don't have foxes where ever you live!

Concrete all around the edge of the building so nothing can dig in. The bottom also has 5" of compacted limestone nearly as solid as concrete, 6" of sand, and a 2" thick stall mat. Solid steel frame stalls with 2x4's going 5' up then 2x2" metal bars an inch apart another 4-5'. I covered the bars in hardware cloth(mesh wire) and the top with poultry netting to keep out any birds of prey. At night the doors are locked shut and nothing can even get in the building. I've come across nothing but a cat that can jump up the side of a stall and they can't get over the bars. Rats and various vermin have gotten trapped in the stalls cause they can't jump or climb out.

Ok just changes the cage today (hopefully the last time) and it is a 2x5 with a 2x2 on top.
