Does anyone have the R5A 120 cage from zooplus?

I used to have one, then upgraded to C&C purely because of size - there was absolutely nothing wrong with the cage itself. I found it to be a really easy cage, particularly the way the base slides out from underneath the cage for easy cleaning. The frame/stand is integrated into the cage itself so you can't use it without the stand. There are two reasonably big doors so it's easy to reach in, and the quality seemed good. It has two shelves but I generally only used one as the ramps for two took up a lot of floor space. Also the ramps are quite steep but the piggies would use them if covered with an old sock or a tunnel.

Oh, and it's on wheels so you can move it around easily.

I've got some photos somewhere, can look them out if you're interested.
 
Thanks for that PigTastic, I would love to see the pictures if you can find them, thank you :)

My mum is interested in adopting the guinea pigs and she needs a nice cage that has easy access and can be moved about with no hassle.
 
Here are three pics I've found, they're not amazing, don't show the doors open or anything but hopefully it will give you a better idea of what it actually looks like. Excuse the silly cuddly rabbits on the side, wrong species I know!

I have that cage for my 2 girls. It's great, easy to clean out x
 
I've got this cage but I don't think I'd recommend it. The slide out tray can drop out so I have to make sure I have upside down plastic crates underneath it.

Access is great as the entire top opens up. Front door is a really good size.

The fact that the trolley/cage are built in means you are a bit restricted, ie I'd love to have it on a work surface in my utility but can't as its too big in the frame.

I like that its on wheels.

Pro's and cons really.

I don't think I've been much help really!
 
Thanks for the replies (and the pictures pigtastic, the bunnies are adorable!)
It's given me and my mum lots to think about.

We have also seen some 140cm and 150cm cages on stands that we're considering too now.

Although saying that mum isn't 100% sure she can adopt them yet, we shall see.

pictures on zooplus site of my bunnies in cage with review, thought shelf may be a bit high for guineas? A year or so on, my bunnies have cracked the shelf so had to remove. (they liked to jump up rather than use the ramp. I used the shelves one at a time to give bunnies room having the litter tray at other end. I cannot find any spare shelves so will be a bit annoying to have to buy a whole new cage just for a shelf,:( they liked living under it at night on hemp mats. tried a plastic step but they grumbled about it being a bit too small for them both to sit under, any suggestions.
P.S. sometimes they wriggle the tray so it comes out of the supports, we store paint pots under cage so it just drops a small way before their great escapes around the conservatory.rolleyes
 
I have this cage,it's only been taken out of packaging and stored in the shed as someone gave us another one ,thinking of selling it if anyone is interested :) ,I am in runcorn Cheshire but would pack in cardboard and bubble wrap for a courier if you wanted to do that x
 
I'm sorry but bad. It is quite small.

look in to getting a C&C. I would very happily help you. I'm in the UK to and I am getting my first C&C this weekend. I will give you the websites I'm using.
For the wire cubes (grids)- i am using these because they are strong and big. Also there are enough cubes in the packet for a 2x4 with an upper 2x1 deck----

For the coroplast- I am using this one because, well I am- what can I say! You can also buy coroplast from your local sign shop, maybe for cheaper

And for the cable ties I am using these. because, well they are cabe ties, what can I say!----

I will also post some websites that have been very useful for me!
http://www.guineapigcages.com/cubes.htm it is american, so it is not possible to get any of the products show on the site but it is still very useful!
http://piggiepigpigs.com/ she is soooo helpful. subscribe to laura's you tube channel. She is really clever!
http://jackiesguineapiggies.com/ just a good site really.
