Hey, I'm millie & I'm a newbie. I have three guinea pigs which i have pampered for three months now. They are named candy, floss & bubblegum. I have them in a hutch at the moment but want to build a C&C cage. I'm looking for ways to build a single cage with a hay loft or a double storey. I would like a close cage due to the family cat. Can you please give me descriptions or photographs to show me different designs and layouts.
Also is there any other materials you can use other then corotherm/coroplast/corex


Thanks

We went a bit OTT with ours but is great fun and I'm constantly changing things around or adding bits:

Some people use lino to line the cages, we begged disused hanging signs from DIY stores and cut to size lol.

Omg! Amazing set up. What did you use to create the coconut/paradise/tropical theme and where did you source the decorations. Well Done with the set up its very impressive and inspiring. How many guinea pigs have you got? xx
 
Maybe you could have 2 floored cage. With a ramp to acess. To make it more interesting you could add fleeces, cosy cups, tunnels, socks, soft oys, chews and bell ball thingys
 
Hi
If you have more space you could make a corner cage with part of it covered with a second level. Or if you are tight for spca you could make a 2 or 3 leveled cage.

Too make it more homely you could use differnt patterned fleeces for the flooring, hammocks, cosy cups, cushions, tunnels, play balls, paper bags, chews, hideaways.

Aw, thanks. OH is a builder and has some great ideas so he designed it. The back of the pen is all bamboo, the stuff people use on a roll for balconies etc. and a straw one for the roof. The bamboo at the front is edging from B&Q and I just added the tropical bits as I found them, mainly on ebay. We added the background scenery (posters), fairy lights for a nice effect. Looks lovely at night all lit up and OH found some lights last week in a chinese lantern design so have those now instead.
We have two boars, 10 mths old in one side, two boars, 8 months old next to them and two girlies have a 7ft x 2.5ft level upstairs. Keep a 5ft spare bit in case the boys ever fall out rolleyes
Am thinking of adding another little girl (or two) in the future.
