Bambi is currently in my bedroom in a conventional 120x60cm cage, he’s an older lad so he’s okay with it but I’d love for him to have more space. My other boys have a 3x4 c&c with a six foot hutch attatched and they love the space. I just had a breakthrough and I feel silly that I’ve never thought of doing this before. If I take the table out of the guinea pig room then I could make another c&c for Bambi upgrading his 7.5 square feet of floor space to 13 square feet, which will be very useful when Bambi decides he wants to bring another friend home! I’m planning on doing this next weekend so I’ll make sure to post pictures here once I’m done
 
Sounds good! We moved a sideboard and got rid of a set of drawers to fit in our C&C- but when I was setting up Blodwen's 120x60 quarantine cage on thursday night it just struck me how much better and more spacious a C&C really is, you forget after a while how much smaller commercial cages are!
 
Even a 2x4 seems much more spacious for them! Hopefully he’ll be happy with the arrangements, I can’t imagine him being cross about it. How is Blodwen getting along now? Is she settling in more?
 
Just built the new cage, much more spacious than the other, he can actually run around in this one! Not done setting it up completely yet so there’s just hay and a cardboard box in there for now

I’m not sure sorry, I bought them on eBay a few years ago I think. They’re just standard metal grids that I attatched together with zip ties, you have to do a bit of searching though because they can be quite expensive

I may aswell just by c n c grids
 
The new space looks great for him! And sorry for butting in @Skypipdot these are the grids Ive used for my C&c's and just bought corrugated plastic from wickes for like £3 a sheet, found it a lot cheaper than grids sold as c&c grids

Not atall , your all good👍. I work for a sign company, i get the corrugated plastic free. I was thinking of you lot today, on a building site in milton keynes it was all being cleaned out, tons of corrugated sheets going in the skips, they use it to protect the flooring
