I have just moved from my home town of swindon to my new home at university in bournemouth, This has not being going well. (which is a whole other story)

This is the cage my boys have at home (its still there, so all i have to do is pop them in a carrier and hop on the bus)

But here is the new piggy set up! It is exactly the same square area, but contains a new hay box which is proving great. :) The main section is 150cms by 72 cms and the hay box is 50cms by 72cms. It is also raised up on tables, this is partly so i have somewhere to store all their things under the tables, and also in the hope that being at my level will make them more confident which it has!

You can get the grids at Walmart online! I've also heard Home Depot and Bed, Bath and Beyond. I got mine at Walmart, and in most places, they're only available online, so that is probably why you're having trouble. I used all of them but 2 and I have a 2x5. Each grid is 12 in wide and 12 in high. Good luck! x>>

Sorry sweetie! I didnt see your question there :)

A c&C cage isnt something you usually buy ready made, there are two parts, the grids (which in my pictures are the shiny metal sides) and the base, being the plastic. The grids are best obtained online here in the UK, and the plastic is called corex, also available online or alternativly corethem (same thing) is stocked by B&Q in some larger stores. There are some great tutorials on how to build these if you look online (its super easy)

Alternativly there is a lady called Kim on the forum who sells kits, so you would decide how big you wanted it and she would post you all the right things you needed so you dont have to sorce it all yourself :) I'm hoping someone tech savvy with see this and kindly give you a link to her shop :)

My boys love their cage and i definatly wouldbe be without the versitility of C&C :)
