What are c&c cages?

[Jem121]

I see everyone on about them on this forum but i have no-idea what they are @) would someone please enlighten me haha!

Cubes and coroplast ...
basically a home made cage made out of metal grids and a material called correx/coroplast for the base, here's my C&C cage.

They're completely customisable to be any size, shape and so are perfect for those with lots of piggies as they can be massive if you want them to be !

The cubes can be found on ebay & amazon if you search for c&c cage. If you're in the UK search for correx on ebay and you'll find that too

I use a shower curtain instead of coroplast.

Sorry to hijack this thread, but how is your second level supported? We have made a C&C and instead of connectors used cable ties and were not really sure how to support a second level...?

I am interested too. I have got the makings of a C & C cage and am still in the design stage. My boys love going up the ramp tunnel to the 2nd story in their hutch so would like to make similar in the C & C.

Read this thread I started before - it explains how to make an upper level using connectors or cable ties

If you look at your connectors they should have different parts on different sides/angles where you can clip the grids in (if that makes sense) You may have to fit the connectors on a different way to normal.

Looking at my post above - I dont think it makes sense haha.
If you want me to explain more I will post pics up of the connectors to show you when I get home.

If it is set up correctly it should be sturdy without support from underneath Might is quite strong with just using the connectors

If you want extra support I know of someone who cut broom/mop poles to size and popped them under.
