What to do with an old cage?

[GuineaPigsPipPumpandJG]

So i've got an old Guinea Pig cage (from a friend) and I don't know what to do with it. I've never put the piggies in it because it is too small, about 54cm x 92cm, so way to small for the pigs. Any suggestions for uses?

Remove the bars, cut a hole in the side Of the base and use it as a hay tray
Drill small holes in the base for drainage, fill the base with soil and grow some grass and/or herbs in it for the piggies to enjoy

You could also mesh it and use it for smaller animals like mice or hamsters (bar spacing should be 1cm or less).

You could donate it to a animal or wildlife rescue

Keep it in case you have to separate a pig out due to illness/injury.

Keeping it as an emergency cage is never a bad idea.
I have a 'hospital' cage that is only 1 meter long, but it has been used a handful of times over the years in emergencies.

My hospital cage is a bit bigger than your cage @GuineaPigsPipPumpandJG. It is a handy size for a sick piggy. Big enough for them to move around and small enough to fit on a table top or on the floor and not be in the way.

Thanks! I think I will keep it in case of emergency, and maybe put a ton of hay in there and put it in the big outdoor run so the pigs can access it and burrow in the hay
