Can any tell me how much floor space this cage gives and also is each section big enough for 2 piggies? If so i am looking to poss get a new set up for my piggies, i want a stacked cage...been looking into a c&c - but they seem quite difficult to stack and also a corner cage will use the space better....but Maths is my strong point so cant work out if each section is big enough for 2 piggies? I hope this makes sense. If I bought it i would cover the hole up with some sort of correx or wood or something (any suggestions welcome as i am rubbish..), but as i say i cant work out how much floor space the cage has...

Thanks :)
 
Just found it on ebay by using the item no.350906891641. It measures 141x100x86cm. 100cm down each corner side, 86cm heigh and 141cm across the widest point on the diagonal. Ideal indoor retreat for rabbits and guinea pigs. A ramp joins the two levels and the size of the base allows easy turning for pets. Lots of room for toys etc. Comes with all accessories shown. Dark coloured bases on all. Silver Bars. Judging by that it should be big enough as recommended size is 120 x 60cm & this is definitely bigger than that on the base then you've got similar space at top so more than ample.

I used to be good at maths but that was in my schooldays many moons ago. I work out that the base area is 750 sq cm less space for ramp with upper floor the same. A recommended cage 120 x 60 cm is 720 sq cm just one level & this has 2 so I would say definitely big enough for 2.
 
Thanks for the Maths help :P :) I will keep this cage in mind.. i like the idea of a corner cage to save space.. :)
 
When Zooplus used to stock this cage, the customer photos showed it's a lot more spacious than you would think just looking at it. It helped to see it occupied so you could see how roomy it was

Thanks, yes as you say i noticed they used to stock it and as you say some of the pics make you realise that is is rather large :) I am quite tempted to poss save up for this cage. I wonder how it is to clean....
 
I was actually just going to mention cleaning out, as i could never clean out my 120 without lifting off the cage top, so i cant imagine they are easy to clean through a small door. But then no cage has everything!
 
I have this cage and I think it depends on how well your pigs get on and how often they have floor/run time. If they are taken out regularly and get on well then it should be ok for a pair on each level. If not and they have the tendency to get grumpy with each other, I wouldn't do it. By the time you've got food bowls, houses and toys in there, there's not much room for them to run around.

Also, yes the bottom level can be a bit of a nightmare to clean. To take the top level off would mean dismantling the whole cage, so you have to do it all from the small door at the front. So unless you have really long arms or are small enough to get your shoulders in, it's very difficult to reach the back of the cage.
