I am researching cage size's for guinea pig's to find out the most popular size please use the poll and add extra detail's in a post ie 2 level or size of store bought cage
 
i have 2 C&C cages both are 4x3 and have 4 piggies i each :)
 
We have a C&C set up consisting of three storeys of 10.5 grids in length and 2.5 grids wide so is just a notch under 12ft long x 36 inches wide. Home to 12 piggies though with dividers :))
 
I have 4 c&c cages at the moment

two 4grids by 2grids
A 4grids by 2grids and an upper lever 2by2
and a 6grid by 2grid with a 3grid by 2grid haybox

also I change them around to accomadate foster piggies
 
I clicked the poll size 2 by 4 although I have different sizes I didnt realise I couldnt vote again :red
 
i have the ferplast 140 x 2 and a 6x4 wooden wendy house for summer days. i am looking into c & c but went with the ferplast as i have a cat very well behaved but never to be trusted so need to make strong lids

Have not got C&C housing but would be interested in buying quilted cage liners in the future - likely to need 3 lots of 4X2 size:)
 
I have recently converted to an indoor open cage, but couldn't get hold of any cubes. I ended up with INTERLOCKING SHOE ORGANIZER/SHOE RACK for 16 PAIRS from Amazon ([ame]http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B0011YAZV8/ref=oss_product[/ame]) which work really well. I had to find another solution for water bottles though as the plastic sides don't enable you to just hook them on like you could with a traditional c&c. I have a hutch inside the cage for this. Total cage measurement is 7ft 7 by 5 ft 9.

Forgot to add for those interested - one box from Amazon was enough to build my cage, but I did run out of the little interlocking corner pieces.

If they are seperated do you have seperate correx trays or just grids in between?
 
I have two 6ft by 2ft hutches, one houses 3 piggies and the other 2. I also have two 8ft by 2ft hutches, one houses 5 piggies and the other has 3, but it's divided. The boars can see each other but not touch.
 
I voted a 4 x 2 C&C and a 5 x 2 C&C, but I haven't built that one yet :)

I also have a 5ft x 2ft double hutch for outside in the summer, but didn't count that.

I picked "other c&c" but my piggies don't actually have a cage. I have sectioned of part of my spare room which they are shut in when I am out and at night but if I am home the have a whole room to roam but they choose not to really. There area which is cornered of is about 8ft by 3ft and they seem pretty happy :)
 
I have 4 boars. 2 in each cage. The cages are made from wood but each cage is the same size as 2x7 C&C.
 
2 x 6 in grids (7 foot by 28 inches in size)
3 storeys high
Bottom level houses 2 female piggys
Top 2 levels, connected by ramp houses 5 females. (mum, friend and 3 daughters)

ours doesn't have an option to match: home-made open-plan extending into the living room :)
 
Misty's cage is 1m x 1.2m, built courtesy of my OH and my dad! xx
 
My 3 boars are in a 3x6 C&C cage.
Plenty big enough I think (as does my room which doesn't have much space now haha)! :)
 
Mines an old run modified to fit under the stairs so not technically a C&C :)p
But it's 3 by 6 They were in ferplast 140 before
 
I got a appartment-building aka flat for guinea pigs.

Size per floor is 100cmx60cm. Each floor has two guineas, one has three (a baby, a teenager and an elderly pig).
 
I've got a C&C based cage with a wooden structure that I made to make it stronger.
There are two 2 x 5's on the ground floor next to each other, one with a pair of boys and one single boy next door. On the next floor is a 4 x 2 with a neutered boar and female and on the top floor is my little cockrel George who thinks he's the king of the castle and is the loudest wheeker of them all!
 
I have 6 store bought cages; 3 Hargen Zoo Zones I beliebe are Medium size, 2 Cavie 120's and a Cavie 80
