New cage help

[IHorseCarzzy5]

I have two female guineas living together in a 2 by 3 foot homemade (not bought from a pet store) cage. I am looking to get a new cage that is about the same size and can put towels down so that the guineas can't get under them. I have looked at a few dogs crates and small animal cages at a pet store. Any suggestions for cages that might work?

Your pigs need a minimum of 4ft x 2ft cage so the one you've made isn't big enough I'm afraid. I'm not quite sure what you're wanting to do with the second cage? Do you mean to put more pigs in, or as some sort add on to the one you already have? It's better to go out rather than up, especially as it's not big enough anyway. Pigs will tunnel under towels usually, so you'd need fleece over the top. If you explain in more detail about what you're trying to do you may get some better advise.

I am looking to get a new cage for my pigs. I have been using towels/fleece for three years and i want to continue but with a new cage. Ideas on where I could get a cage?

The minimum recommendation from the RSPCA for two guinea pigs is 2x4 ft (60x120cm).

This is currently the cheapest one on offer on zooplus, which is the place that sells the cheapest cages; it also fulfills the space requirements: http://www.zooplus.co.uk/shop/small_pets/hutches_cages/guinea_pig_cages/120_cm_cages/83034

thanks for site tho it is of no use to me as i live in the USA. I dont think shipping a cage of that size would be easy. (UK to USA)

Have you thought about making a C&C cage for them? Lots of people on here have them Ive never made one (tho I'm about to expand the girls existing home and make one) but people on here may be able to help you with that.

Yes that site is american. The cage my girls live in is a C&C type cage. I am looking to find something with a lid.

You can make a lid from Closet Maid shelving.
