Hey!

So I have a 5 x 4 cc cage set up for my 3 girls. The cc cages online are well over 100 pound to find... But I managed to find a loop hole. Look on Amazon for the cube units. I got a pack of around 50 squares (came with zip ties and connectors) all for 35 quid. What a bargain. Its deffo cheaper to look for the squares when advertised as shelving, you can reshape it as always! Below is the listing I bought from. They delivered next day to the UK as well! 111443

I have used some of the left over squares to make a loft, a shelving unit, a roof for their ladder and to make some sides larger. Below is my set up.

Your little ones are going to love the CC cage. I really reccomend them. I have used a rug for the bases.
Also, in the amazon image, the shelves have plastic squares on them, they come off easy so you can use the squares underneath as more panels.

Hope I helped!

Hi, I agree that getting the grids and corex separately is a much cheaper way to do things, however you need to watch that the grids are the ones 9 squares in length not 8 or 7. The wider gaps are potentially dangerous as piggies can get their heads stuck. One way around this is to make sure the corex goes high enough up the sides to make it safe. Also watch the size. I once bought opaque grids which were quite a bit smaller than regular ones.
 
111881All set up :D while we've got your attemtion can anyone recomend cage liners that arent waterproof? Weve also experimented with some back 2 nature bedding but couldnt believe the price! Does anyone know of cheaper alternatives? Thanks everyone x
