Not sure if you noticed that these are the plastic ones rather than the metal grids. I don't know anything about C&C really so not sure if you can use those?

hiya thanks i just noticed that so wont bother. iv managed to get a molded correx cage so wont need so many grids 8)

2 by 5 c&c will need 14 grids pressuming it is on the floor, then for a 2 by 2 hay box an extra 12.

The interlocking shoe grids are too small. You need the 14inch square

which ones would be better plastic or metal? Sorry for hijacking the thread

 

[guineapigs<3]

personally id go for metal as my guineas pigs would eat through plastic in no time.

I'm desperately trying to find some reasonably priced C&C to make an indoor run for the chaps. There was some on eBay, listed as shoe storage (14" panels), that looked perfect, but the seller had none left. I've spent most of this morning searching, with no luck. Can't spend too much. These guys have cost me a fortune since I found them :rolleyes: , but I want to be able to let them out of the crate and free range wouldn't be safe at the moment, given all the trailing wires etc. in DS's bedroom...

Any advice would be very welcome!

That's what I was looking at last week, seemed a good deal
