C&c Help?

[Emily Limm]

I'm soon making my boars a larger cage since they have a slightly too small one. I live in the US, so where would a good place be to buy the supplies (If you live in the US)? How big would it need to be for two boars? How to make it as well? What is the outline stuff the put along the bottom of the grid, is it fleece as well? And might I get suggestions of C&C cages with only one floor?

I like my c&c cage, and I'm waiting for the expansion, making it in to a 8x2.

Some people use a waterproof covering with the metal grids of a playpen as a cage. Some even put a cage in the pen so the piggies can come and go as they please.

A good place to get grids is Amazon(I live in the US) I used zip ties to hold the grids in place.

2x4 is the recommended c&c size but the bigger the better. Check out Cubes and Coroplast for C&C Cages for Guinea Pigs in the US
