Good to use to make a C&C cage for my 2 piggies?

[CoconutandCocoa]

16 grids (: When I get my coroplast, and put it all together, will this be enough for my 2 guineas? I may get a third in the near future, but I'm not quite sure. Would it be okay for 3? (Unless I got a male, he'd go in the girls old cage..) (or if my piggies have babies - Its a possibility atm - )

Oh and zip ties! (:

I think I'll do a 4x4, so from a birds eye view, it'll look something like this:

(Without the ones in the middle, only the border)

That would be double the recommended cage size so your two will love it! |) It would be suitable for 4 piggies I think, maybe 5.

Is a 48x96 sheet of coroplast good for this? Or do I need more/less?

You would need more coroplast. You can tape the 2 sheets together. A 4x4 cage would be 56x56 inches.

Do you have any Bed, Bath & Beyond near you? Their grids are a little cheaper.

Have you found coroplast? I got my 4x8 ft sheet for only $10 from here.

I count 19 from the pic.

Hmm.. lets say I use 16 of them - I create a 4x4.


How much coroplast would I need? It's very very confusing to me!

Is one of these the right amount?:

Your amazon link is not working for me. To make 4x4 cage you need 16 grids. If you buy the BB&B one, you'll have extra grids for a hay rack.

For the coroplast, to make 4x4 grids, the inside would be 56x56 inches. Then you would add 6" for the sides. So the whole piece would have to be 68x68. You could tape the 2 pieces of 48x96 together then cut to 68x68.
