It's been a while since our last C&C cage tour. Here's a look at our current spring themed guinea pig cage setup. Can you spot the cavies going about their piggy business?
Cage size (in grids)
3x5 + 1x2 loft :: Belka, Truffle, Peaches & Poof
2.5x4 :: Revy & Abby-Roo
Total: (20.41 + 2.72) + 13.61 = 36.74 sq ft
For bedding we use anti-pill fleece layered over washable furniture pads. You can read more about how fleece bedding works here.

It's certainly interesting to see how our cage has evolved. If you've found this helpful I'd love to see pics of your cage or DIY creations (Twitter, Facebook). Hope the tour has given you some fun, creative ideas to add to your pigs home!
You're very welcome! So glad you got some ideas for your pigs' home :) and a big hello to your little piggy family!
ReplyDeletePerhaps, you could always try it out. They might come around to the idea after they've seen how it works firsthand too.
ReplyDeleteMy piggies have a second hand with two levels. Although it's not a c&c cage. It has hayand newspaper for bedding and a log tunnel to hide in. I love the idea of having fleece but the other piggy slaves don't. Maybe we could ha ve the top floor with fleece and the over floor with hay. What do you think?
