This is absolutely right. Piggies need horizontal space as they don't climb, so you can only count the space on the base which, to be honest, looks less than the hamster cage I have that's currently unoccupied.

If you look on the Guinea Pig Cages website you'll see a section on "found me at". Go there, it's mostly US based.

They dont climb? Mine do ;D But I did start a new home for them..
I went to all the stores that the website recommended for cubes and noone had any. If you look in the housing section in this forum I put up pics of the new cage so far.
 
They don't naturally climb. They're only climbing up ramps in your cage because space is so limited and they have to. Keep persevering with trying to find the supplies - maybe go on the GPC forum and ask on there if anyone local to you knows where to find things? Majority of members there are US-based.
 
have you though of trying ebay? or some such similar site? perhaps the newspapers in the classifies. perhaps you can get a cage that can sit on a cupboard top or two cupboards put together. hoping you find something soon and good luck with your furbabies. hugs and cuddles :smitten: :smitten: :smitten: girls send :-* :-* :-*
