How To Make A Guinea Pig Cage

Today’s feature is from Your Life! Magazine with instructions for Making your own guinea pig (cavy) cages

While searching for cages, I found listings on EBay for C&C cages. I was curious and began looking closer at this kind of housing. A C&C cage is a do-it-yourself cage. When the concept of writing about these cages was brought up, I dove at the idea! If I have not done it or used it, chances are it will not be written about! Therefore, I am making a C&C cage and writing about it! The first step was to figure out what C&C stood for: Cubes and Coroplast!

The cubes referred to are panels found in kits to build storage cubes. The kits contain metal grids that click together with connectors. It is important to find cubes that have no more than 1.5 inches between the wires. This is fine for housing most adult cavies. Coroplast is corrugated plastic - same concept as corrugated cardboard.
