Butterfly Garden by Erin
This wonderful 2 x 3 grid cage with a 1 x 1 grid upper-level is a butterfly's paradise complete with beautiful flowers, vines, a bird, and, of course, butterflies! Erin's cage features a wide ramp for the resident guinea pigs to access the wooden house on the upper level and the hanging bird toys are for the guinea pigs to play with and add color to the Butterfly Garden. Information on making a "Cubes and Coroplast" cage may be found at: www.cavycages.com
