This is a picture of my guineas cage.

It was from eBay to replace me c and c.

It is very easy to move as it is on wheels and is great to keep clean. The base is very sturdy and not flimsy.


It is for my two girls.

It came with a platform and a ladder but the platform took a lot of room up and I felt they would hide too much so I just attached two grids at the end.

Internally it is just short of two grids wide and is four grids long.

I have nowhere else for them so it's in the bedroom with us, which is ok until they get hormonal then we don't get much sleep for a night x.

Hi what cage is this and what length looks fab
 
I have this cage too, though it is not in use at present. I only used it to house 2 baby piggies. It is a REALLY big cage, something like 5' 2" long and 2' wide external measurements. The wire sides are quite high as it is designed for rabbits. I took out the side panels and raised the base, as piggies don't jump. I had to keep the roof on to hang hay rack and water bottle, but could have done without it as I don't have kids or any other pets. Both pairs of piggies that lived in this cage were very happy with all the space. I bought this cage from Zooplus, but it is no longer on their website. It is called the R6A.

Does the photo show the whole cage? If so, then yes, it is too small. Buy the biggest cage that you can afford. The bigger the better. There is not much room for running around. A little wooden house of some description would be nice for the piggie to hide in and some cardboard or wooden toys to gnaw on.

Seems to be way too small, if that's all of the cage. One piggy needs at least an equivalent of 2x3 c&c grids, measuring at 42 inches by 24 inches. The more the better, if you're getting a c&c, a 2x4 would be great, but if you're getting another piggy for Pumpkin, then a 2x5 preferred.

Oh okay! I'll try and remember that next time I am at the store! Thank you for the info :D
 
You're very welcome. :)

That would have been the perfect cage for my piggies, it's giagantic, as I am thinking of eventually housing them indoors, but I am from Britain and I don't think they'll ship it anywhere outside the US. You're lucky to be American! :P

Haha! You could always try?!;) I'm not sure when I'll be able to buy it because I spent a lot of money on toys and a carrier for her :P

Well actually the piggies currently live in a 1.5x4ft hutch. They have separate floors each and currently live on their own though, and as 2x3ft is the minimum size for lone piggies, 1.5x4ft is technically the same. They will be getting a friend each, but at the moment life is busy so they'll sadly have to wait for now. :(

I complealy understand!:nod: Your Piggys just have to work with you :tu:
How cute would it be if once a year a bunch of people that own Guinea pigs meet at a little play house for the Piggys?! :D:P

That would be adorable, because they could show eachother their piggies. Not everyone would be able to make it though, and as there are piggy owners all over the world, not all of them could meet at one place. :D

Well yeah that's true! Maybe every country should have one?:P We gotta tell someone! Haha!
 
Exactly! Guinea pigs will use this to take over the world! But, as we are brainwashed, we will be happy to let them take over the world.

But maybe they've already taken it over? We live in our human cities and they control us from their hutches/cages/sheds, the world could very well already be their's! :eek:
 
Although they cannot physically force us to give them food, they wheek and play on our emotions so we give it to them no matter what!
 
Cage Type
Ferplast 100 with stand on wheels
Where it was purchased or how it was made
Made from metal and has a plastic base I got this brand new from Ebay for £70 it retails with the stand at pets at home for £95
What size it is
It is 100cm
How many piggies are kept in it
2 piggys both under 4 months of age
How easy it is to keep clean/if you'd recommend it
Extreamly easy to clean only takes 5 minutes to roll up the newspaper, sweep, spray and dry then refil. I would reccommend this to anyone with guinea pigs as its a very easy simple method of housing piggys indoor without it overtaking the whole room. With the wheels it's simple to move and clean underneath. The cage comes with an upper level which I put a hidey house and a food bowl. You can also keep a hay rack which gives them the whole of the cage floor to run around.
