2 full storeys c&c cages

[lovelygirl]

Hi well at the moment my girls have a 2x4 bottom layer with a 1x4 l shaped upper level, I have decided that i would like to give them two full levels, but the problem is how do you access the bottom layer without the top level falling in? also need to be able to clean and catch the piggies easily!

this is what they have at the moment?

any ideas on whether the ramp(s) should be internal and maximum angle acceptable to piggies|)

We have since changed out minds or well chris has changed mine, we are now planning a 2x2 extention sideways against the wall and continuing the 1st floor 1 cube deep above. This requires moving a table out the way but does give them about an extra 8 ftish in space. 6x2 bottom layer and 8x1 upper layer, which is actually more space! can't seem to work out the area but over 20 ft square

I have seen a C&C grid system integrated into an ikea shelving unit somewhere. But that is probably better for about 3 cages for two guinea pigs.

PS: I have also posted my cage pics in the cage/hutch gallery.
PS: I would recommend to put that cage of mine on a pedestal for better access - I am lying on the floor to fold the fleece over in the back corners.
