To low?

[Ilovemypigs123]

Will my piggies be able to climb over this, they’ve been in it before but plan on putting this as a wall to extend they’re play pen even more?

I would give at least 30cm of height to make sure he doesn't jump over, but a guinea pig would have to be pretty determined in order to jump over a 23cm high cage.
If the cage is going to be in a place where you can't afford him to escape (like in the yard) then I wouldn't risk it, it's not worth buying.

A c&c grid is 35cm so I would not use anything less than that

At least one of my boars can stretch himself to a foot long and he'd make easy work of a grid or pen that was too short if he felt like it. And they can be determined little sods when they want to be.

I have 14" grids and George can reach the top when he's in begging mode.... the play pen you are looking at is useful for piggy proofing a room though.

My syrian hamster climbed over that so I should think a piggy would be able to manage
C and c grids would be a good idea as @Piggies&buns suggested

 

[Ilovemypigs123]

Thanks they've had it added for playtime but only when I'm with them. Currently looking into c&c.

Amazon do a good variety of very affordable c&c. I personally use the songmics grids and my boys palace with penthouse came in at less than £75 with flooring.

Ooo that great I’ll take a look thank you

I use these Songmics grids, with a sheet of tarp attached to the cage on three sides and left open on the fourth to give me a floor and covered walls. Hopefully the forum doesn't manage to botch the link second time round, lol.

Thank you, I have a brand new tarp which I could use then? I thought it needed to be a Correx base? Also hope it’s okay to ask but what’s the actual size requirements for different amounts of piggies because everywhere I read it’s different

If they're on something like a table then you'll probably want a harder base, but my pair are on the floor so that's not a worry. Meant I could buy a larger sheet of tarp, use the eyelets to attach to the grids using cable ties, and then left open on the final side to catch debris. Then I have puppy pads on the tarp, and the bedding on top of the puppy pads, and the tarp keeps it from damaging the floor.

Each of those Songmics grids is about 13.5" long. When you use the connecting feet for them, the extra space means you can count each grid at around a foot long.

That image is probably the best one I've got of it, but this is it from a slightly different angle. It's five grids along the back wall and 4 grids either side, so it's a 5'x4' space.

Ahh I love it! So spacious your skinny pig is adorable

I don't use correx. I use these but got mine from b&q.
