What is a "C%26amp;C Cage?"?
I made a C%26amp;C cage for my GP's. C%26amp;C means Cubes %26amp; Chloroplast. They are cheap, easy, and the healthiest gp cage there is as they are spacious and don't have wire bottoms. http://www.guineapigcages.com/





This is what they look like: http://www.guineapigcages.com/types.htm





This is how to build them: http://www.guineapigcages.com/howto.htm





They are wonderful cages not only because the piggies love them but also because you can get creative while building them!
Reply:C%26amp;C stands for cubes and chloroplast. and they are perfect cause you can build the cage. you can make it however you want.
Reply:c%26amp;c stands for cubes and coroplast. the cubes are square grids with conectors that come in a pack with a few. coroplast is a kind of plastic that you get in very large sheets from a sign store. here is a page with everything about them and how to make them

Reply:A C%26amp;C cage is a Cubes and Coroplast cage. They are mainly used for guinea pigs.

Reply:A C%26amp;C cage stands for cubes and coroplast (or corflute, the name tends to change depending on where you live). At the moment it is probably the best thing going in terms of housing guinea pigs especially considering that pet store and commercial cages tend to be wayy to small. It is cheap, easy to build, modify and clean.





The home page talks about the correct size cage that you should have. Basically, 7.5sq ft for 1 guinea pig, guinea pigs are herd animals thus why they should be housed in pairs, 2 guinea pigs need a 10.5sq ft cage.

Pros and cons plus what shops sell cubes and coroplast can be found here.

One of the beauties about a C%26amp;C cage is that you can have different styles and types, closed and open to name a couple. There are also different materials that can be used instead of cubes and coroplast, plus things that you should not do.

There are 3 simple steps that should be taken to make a C%26amp;C cage.


1. Connect the cubes together using either the connectors or cable tyres


2. Cut, score, fold and tape the coroplast together making an effective rectangle or square shape


3. Place your coroplast box into the cubes

Another great thing about the C%26amp;C cage is that you can add things like ramps, upper decks and hay racks to personalise your cage.

Extra pre-cautions can be taken to prevent kids, cats and dogs from getting to the guinea pigs.

The only thing left to do is to find the materials. This can be done by using the material locator:

OR by buying a pre-made ready to go C%26amp;C cage.

So basically a C%26amp;C cage is a cage that can be made at home, it is big and probably the best cage out there for guinea pigs.
Reply:I've been trying to work this out for a while :D





All I've gathered is people can make them, not shop bought. Not sure if that's always the case.





Been wondering if i's an american term, with me being a UKer.





Edit; I get it now! =) Meh, my guinea's had the end 3rd of a british garage all the time, and when we were in (there were neighbourhood cats) they had free run of about a 12, maybe 14 (or bigger, don't remember) feet square walled garden! Yes, they were happy piggies. :D

Reply:C%26amp;C stand for Cubes and Coraplast.. "cubes" is like the wall of the cage so they cant escape and "coraplast" is the bottom of the cage. So you do make the cage with cubes and coraplast because the pet stores ones are horrible there too small. You get the cubes and coraplast at any regular store and its really cheap and you can make it really creative and stuff. that the main part but please check out the website about the C%26amp;C cages

Go to cavycages.com


They explain where to get the materials and how to build one. Also give measurements for how big each one should be. If you check out their forums, they have a ton of pics of different sizes and shapes. A lot of people do themed cages.
