Updated Guinea Pig C&C Cage

Hi Everyone,
This is my C&C cage that I made for my three guineas, Lucy, Ethel, and Dottie. I got the 9x9 grids at Bed, Bath, and Beyond. The fleece/Piggy Bedspread on the bottom I ordered from http://www.piggybedspreads.com/index.htm (if you do order a piggybedspread, please tell her that you saw it on my video!) and the fleece on the top I just cut out to fit the size. The fleece works SO much better than bedding. I would definitely recommend it. All you do is sweep up the droppings and the urine in soaked up. The ramp is made from a standard piece of wood (1x8x6) that I got from Menards. I just measured the length I needed, cut it down, sanded it, and drilled two holes at the top and covered it with fleece. The two holes I used to attach the ramp to the top. To do this I simply put zip ties in the holes and tighten them, it works great. Both of the top and bottom trays are made out of coroplast. The igloo (on the bottom), tube (on the top), and the bed (on the top) I got from Petco and the pouch (on the bottom) I made myself. I hope you like the cage. My two guinea pigs love it! If you have any questions, just post them and I will try to answer!

Where dis you buy your coroplast?

[AJors1034]

@DeannaCharles I bought it at a place called Fast Signs. If you go a place that makes sign you should find coroplast.

You know this is really funny because I walked into a Fast Signs and asked them if they could sell me a full sheet of coroplast and the girl there said no and that I could find them at Fry's. She was either trying to get rid of me or she wasn't very intelligent.

I think if you find a sign shop nearby, you should give them a call first and see if you could get a quote on your purchase.

Really. I suggests going back in there and asking again. I bought my coroplast about 2 years ago so maybe there policy has changed, but im thinking that she didnt know what she was talking about. a piece cost me $20.

I'm getting a guinea pig really soon and I can't find coroplast anywhere in my country. So I need to find an alternative for coroplast. That polka dot thing is fleece? Does that mean that it can't get soaked? And what's the thing that absorbs under? Maybe i'll be using cardboard wrapped in shower curtain as the base.

I've also noticed that there's no poop anywhere? so how did you do it? THANKS so much!

[AJors1034]

yes the polka dot thing is fleece and i keep it in there for a week and then take it out and wash it and then put it back in. on the bottom of it is a waterproof pad, so i think you would be alright with card board. i purchased it at piggybedspreadscom. and as for the poop, i sweep it up with a mini dust broom and pan. it works really well.

It's really nice to see guinea pig owners who obviously love their guinea pigs

and work their hardest to give them an amazing life. Good Job :)
