Junior Guinea Pig
I saw the following on www.cavyhaven.org. Thought I'd share it for those of you looking into C&C cages. Not sure if it affects us over in UK
C & C Cage Warning
If you are building your own C&C cage, we do NOT recommend you buy grids at Target!
Target has recently changed the design of their grids that people commonly use for C & C cages. The brand name of the grids was Organize It.
The "old" grids were 9 SQUARES ACROSS and safe for guinea pigs. However, there are now only combination boxes of grids that are 8 squares across and 5 squares across.
Please do not use anything but the 9 square grids as the ones with 8 grids have larger holes (spacing over 1.5 inches), are DANGEROUS to guinea pigs and have resulted in tragic accidents.
Target has seemingly phased out all their old grids and only carry the new unsafe ones. Target.com does carry the Whitmor brand of storage grids which are safe. You can order them online and have them shipped to you. WalMart.com carries the same grids and you can have them shipped site to store without paying a shipping fee.
Sometimes Bed Bath and Beyond or KMart will carry grids as well.
