Cage Ideas Needed!

[1GuineaPig1]

I am hoping for a C&C cage for Christmas. When I get my C&C cage, (Not if, but when) I am going to need some suggestions on how to decorate it. I looked in the member Gallery for C&C cages, but there are a lot of posts on there so it is next to impossible to read them all. Pictures would be nice, but written suggestions/ideas are welcome too!
(And if you live in the US, I would love to know where to find supplies for a C&C cage)

I think looking at the c&c cages thread is best, you will only get lots of more pictures/the same on the sticky thread on here.

Looks great! I was wondering, is fleece better, or is bedding? I go to school, and from what I've heard, fleece takes a lot of time and effort that I just don't have. But, my parents don't like buying a lot of bedding, so.... Ideas?

I prefer bedding. Aubiose looks really good! You could use fleece though and I have heard some people use towels!

It all depend on your preference. Try both, see what you think.

I have two C&C cages. One has a lone boar in it, who has bladder sludge problems. So, he's on fleece with a hay box. I need to use fleece so I can monitor his calcium spots in his pee.

I always used fleece with hay boxes, until June last year when I got my newest boy. He always tried to bury under the hay in the hay box and ended up causing problems with his cage mate who wanted to sit and eat in there.

So, their cage is now half fleece and half hay. He spends most of his time in the hay end burrowing around, and the other boy is in the other end lounging in a snoozy sack.

I personally find a cage clean is quicker with fleece, but then you have to wash it each week.

I also can't swap to complete hay as I don't have space in our bin to get rid of it.
