Where can i find C%26amp;C materials?
C%26amp;C cages are something I would encourage all Guinea pig owners to have. They are basically HUGE cages made of cloroplast (used to make signs) and cubes (used to make shelves). These cages make your Guinea pig pretty active, very healthy, and as happy as can be! You can also create them all to fit the space you have and give your guinea pigs the space they need. I would Look on E-bay for them thats where I looked for my Guinea pigs cage. They are Expensive but most bigger cages are and I spent ALOT on mine for my Pig and my Ferret. Nothing is cheap when having a caged animal. I mean I would say E-bay but I would buy one NOT in the UK I mean if your from the US only get them there b/c shipping is VERY expensive when so far. Already cages are expensive on E-bay when I looked for cages they were. I mean the cages werent that expensive it was the SHIPPING! I would look in stores but your really not going to find a Cheap one. If you have myspace or anything like that there is a thing where you can go and they always have animal stuff for sale or sometimes for free. Its pretty neat you post what you need and what your wanting to spend and the people Msg you thru there. That is one way I did when I was looking for a Ferret/Cage.





Also if you do get one they are suprisingly simple to clean. The best method I have found is to scoop the bedding and newspaper out of the cage and dump it out into a trash can. It usually only took me about 20minutes to do a complete cage cleaning. Once in a while you will need to get a spray bottle and fill it halfway with water and halfway with vinegar the vinegar gets the fleas out and germs it helps alot i give my pets vinegars baths sometimes. You then have to spray the bottom of the cage and wipe with paper towels or whatever you would use.. Good luck. I really think you should get a C%26amp;C cage they make you GP more happier and it gives them more room.
Reply:Where do you live? I have lots of spare materials (I'm in UK). If you are in the UK try Robert May, Kleeneze, B%26amp;Q or Argos (limited stock as they are stopping selling grids).





The materials are much cheaper than a ready-built cage. A store cage costs about £30, wheras these cages cost about £20 (AND they are bigger).
Reply:Aw .. how excellent! My cage is gold, I hope your piggies enjoy it. I had a hard time finding materials also, look in your phonebook under sign shops or sign design and call the places because some won't have coroplast. It should cost somewhere around $20. The cubes can be found at Target, Bed Bath %26amp; Beyond, or a super store like those. Make sure that you take into account their size. Mine were 14.5 inches, and it messed up my whole design. Thankfully I was able to just put the grids inside the box, but it could've been bad. Good Luck on the project!
Reply:I have a two-story C%26amp;C cage for my two guinea pigs and let me first say that they LOVE it and you'll have so much fun watching the guinea pigs play in it. The cage that I made is about 2 1/2 by 2 1/2 feet on each level and is two levels high. The coroplast, two boxes of cubes, materials for a ramp, and some PVC pipe toys ending up costing about $50.00. Buying two boxes of cubes left me with plenty left over. I bought the cubes at Target where they often go on sell and I found them in the area with plastic storage boxes and shelving. The coroplast can be found at many small stores that sell and make signs. I looked up several of them in the phonebook, called around, and ended up at a home-based sign making shop that sold it for cheap in a variety of colors. Good Luck and Have Fun!
