Hi,
I just looked at different pictures in this forum of Guinea Pig housing. I see all sort of cages like hutches, regular cages and... c &c cages. I had never seen a c & c cage before, as far as I know they aren't used in Belgium or the Netherlands ( I know for sure that no one has them on the other forums where I'm a member off, and there are lots of members on those forums ).
This was the first strange thing I discovered.
The second was that no one seemed to have a cage like mine, while those hand made cages are very common in Belgium and the Netherlands. We call them guinea pig flats. They are made of wood and specially treated to be water proof, so they can't rot. You can't buy them in animal stores but lots of people make them by hand. You have them for outdoor and indoor use. Mine is obviously one for indoor use, as it doesn't have a roof and other stuff you must have in mind for an outdoor cage.
They are good looking as you can make them fit in your interior, match the colour of the wood with your other furniture etc..
They are very easy to clean, as you can just pick out the plexi glass in the front and start sweeping. It's easy to take your piggies too, no need to open doors to feed them,...
My question: Do you know these guinea pig flat? Has someone got one of these?
Pictures are always nice...
Here are some pictures of mine...
Greetings!
