Two storey C&C

[lincolnsmommy]

Is there a way of having a c&c on top of another c&c? I need another big c&c for for Dudley and his girls but have nomore floor space. I have a 5x3 c&c and want another one a simular size. can build on top of it? If so how? Do you have pics to show me?

Also will it be ok to clean out? (there will be 4 in there so need something that will support them)
thanks guys

Yes you can, the biggest i've ever seen was 5 x 2 with 5 levels

I had a 2.5 x 2 in a cupboard with 3 levels

Stacking C&C is not easy, and I personally hate needing something to support the upper level because a full grid takes away a lot of freedom in the cage. For a 3x5, you'll need at least 4 support grids in there, if not more.

Ah, an edit time limit! I lost what I was going to say.

You could try overhanging a section of the top cage and supporting it from the outside e.g. 2x5 over the bottom cage with 1x5 hanging over the back. Less supports needed inside the cage, easier access to the lower level...just depends if you have got enough room to bring the whole unit out another one grid.

Multi-level - more than one level per cage - is certainly different to stacking, which would be competely separate cages.

I have a completely seperate 2nd level that is 5 x 2 grids and it sits on 1" thick MDFon top of a total of 6 x 4 grids, which overlaps the bottom cage by a couple of inches. Piccies available if you are not sure what I mean! It is very stable as the corner connectors are screwed into the MDF, but cleaning out your bottom one may be tricky if they are the same size unless you take out 3 or 4 of the front grids :{
