Cage Size?

[Little Ones]

What is it that makes having 8 holes as oppose to 9 dangerous? I recently just ordered some that have 8 holes for my C&C, I didn't even think there would be a problem!

@Little Ones here's the link that explains it:

The holes are too big so potentially a Guinea could get stuck. This is the thread I've just read: Which C&c Grids Are Piggy Safe?

@Little Ones here's the link that explains it:

I read it but I was slightly confused as to what the actual problem would be

The frames are all the same size. Less holes within the frame = bigger holes. Bigger holes = more chance of piggy heads getting stuck

Oh I thought it could be that but I still feel like the holes are the right size and not too big at all

I guess it depends on your piggy, and what size they are- and how inquisitive!

Yeah I thought so, I think the chunkier of my two wouldn't be too fussed but my other boy however is rambunctious so he may try to poke his head through I'll probably just give them a day or two in it before making alterations, he may be too fascinated with all the new things that he just won't care about the bars... At least I hope so anyway

We have a tube that looks big enough for a stuck head- we fill it with hay and they seem far more interested in yanking out the hay than nosing inside, I think a lot is personality.
