Cavy Cages is a Guinea Pig Cages website providing information on proper guinea pig cages and sizes. Before you buy a cage, check out this website. The Cubes and Coroplast design is superior in many ways. If you have any questions, please post them on the Cavy Cages Forum. Feel free to post comments in the guest book and on individual photos, but please post questions on the forum.
This album is about our custom commercial cage experience. We ordered this cage, 30" x 36" from Da-Mars. A larger version of the one they normally sell. We asked for a top loading door. We thought that would be better than the front, and we asked for 6" side (urine guards) so we wouldn't have the same complaint we have with the other commercial cages with the pans being to shallow. We also chose a cage size that would be comparable to Martin's large 30" x 36" cage so they could be compared.
We did not want to go the trouble to complete the cage set up with bedding and pigs and whatnot. It would have been a complete and total waste of time for us as we have no intention of keeping this cage. As it is, it was a bit of an expense and an effort to prove a point and satisfy our curiousity. Lesson learned? Breeder cages are breeder cages. Plain and simple. Breeder cages are not pet cages and should not be confused as such.
This cage offers no redeeming value as a pet cage over other solutions presented on Cavy Cages.

At first it looks cool, but the critical eye can see dangers, sharp corners, and hard to clean, however you can do the same thing with coroplast! - bee, Fri, 27 Jan 2006 2:46PM
