hi i might get my OH to read this I am really not good at understanding it lol,thanx so much for the info i must seem silly not knowing much about them although the truth is all most people i talk to here say is get a cage or a hutch, just today i went to a petstore because i didnt know where to try and not only did i see piggys not in the best conditions, but the petshop manager looked at me like i made up the whole c&c idea they didnt believe me because they think being in the pet business they know more anyways thans againxx>>>
the c&c grids can be got at B&Q - diy stores or office equipment stores not sold for guinea pigs really.
they are a storage system laid on its side, to make up the cages.

If you are looking for the bits and bobs you need to construct the cage this may help

Just bought my grids from ebay last night. Wish I could have found them around here because the shipping was quite pricey, the only thing I can figure is they must be kinda heavy.
you are basically searching for something like that ^
here in the states they mainly sell them as shelves or organizers, but I don't know about Australia.

The grids are made for shelving so noone will know what you mean if you ask for anything piggie related you should be able to get them from a DIY store and just ask for cub shelving. The other part is chloroplast (hard plastic sheets) which you can get from a sign makers. the first c stands for cubes and second for chloroplast. So it is a cube & chloroplast cage!
hi guys i looked at every place possible for the cubs i looked at all hardware stores,target,kmart,homeware shops,and everything else along those lines and had no luck so i went and brought a nero4 today works a treat but still need cubes to build run i will just buy off ebay i think thanks for all the helpxx>>>
Do you have a Bunnings near you? If you haven't already tried them, give them a quick ring and see if they stock the Grid Storage System They certainly did up until recently by the looks of it <fingers crossed>
