I love my C&C Cage. Thanks to this website that made it all possible I have built a cage far better than what I would have paid well over double for in the store.
I got lucky and found the cubes at a KMart that was closing and paid only $18.00 for 6 cubes and then got lucky and found a wholesaler for the coroplast and paid $10.00 for a 4 x 8 sheet. My little Ellie is so happy now with all the room she has to run around and play in. I even made her a 2nd level.

So glad I found this web site 2 years ago when we got our first guinea pig.  Now we have added a second young boar, and another large section to the cage.  The boys are very happy together and love their living space.

WOW! those cages are really good!
i have two guinea pigs at the moment, i didnt like the cages at the store so i decided to build one!
it has 3 stories, 1m long and half a metre wide!
they love it, but i prefer these ones where do you get the stuff for it?

I love the examples shown.  Looking forward to making one really soon for my two piggies.

I just love C&C cages
i currently have two guineapigs and they just seem so happy in there cages

Where do you buy the items to create such a great cage? The bottom and the sides. I love the one you created in pictures 1-3. I only have one guinea pig and would love for him to have more space.

Thank you so much for your website!  I plan to get four sow babies next month from a small scale breeder who really loves her animals, and I can't wait!  I went to the pet shop looking for housing and wasn't impressed with the tiny cages I saw there...not to mention the price they were asking! Then, by sheer luck, I stumbled upon your website and now have a 6'X 3 1/2' C&C cage that I made for less than $40!!  I also found a wonderful supplier of beautiful, super soft fleece...Corinthian Mills...where I've ordered all my bedding!  I know my pigs will be very happy in their new home!  Thanks again!

About 2 weeks ago our jumbo rat "Buddy" passed away from old age.  We had a cage for him that was very big, again for him.  When we went to the pet stor to get another rat, we fell in love with "Buddy2" our new piggy.  We were using the old cage, until I ran across this site.  I just finished a 2x4 grid C&C cage and we can really tell the difference in "Buddy2"s' attitude.  Also we were able to get him a friend, "Jack".  Thank you very much for the info!!

Your piggies are spoiled-- just like they SHOULD be!!
Great job!

Cool! Thanks for the great ideas and instructions :O)

Try B&Q again, very hard to find in the store but they do have them.  Here is a link to what you are looking for.  I give them the barcode and they were able to locate them for you.

Danielle! My name is also Danielle! Surely you can look in your phonebook under signs and find a signs store! They will more than likely have coroplast. Coroplast is used to make yard signs!

Hi i live in dublin (ireland)
Does anybody know where to get coroplast and the cubes?
Im clueless for ideas!
They dont have them in B&Q!!

i agree with everyone else your cages are amazing and look so unique

by the way i hop you dont mind me asking but how do you make a split cage?

i love your cage! i want a cavy, but can't have one =( great job on your cage!=)
         love,
          Hannah

OMG! This cage is adorable i've always sticked to those super pet small cages but now that i bought this cage from crazy cavies my piggies love it!

This website is awesome, I raised guinea's among many other animals growing up and now that we have kids decided to go for the guinea's again.  We bought a large pet store cage on ebay then I found this site and went out today and found everything.  It's still not complete but Midnight & Bandit love it already!
Thanks

I've read, like, EVERY page on this website .. there isn't a single page that isn't packed with information. I'm going to make a 2x4 cage with a 1x2 loft for 2 male piggies next week.

As of last night my family was going to go to Petco today to buy a starter cage and one carvy. Thanks to this site we built a much larger cage and bought two piggies today. We were able to buy a second carvy with the money we saved. They are adapting well tonight togther in thier new home.

Great site.  learned how to make a ramp for our new upper deck.
Thank you
Nola

Great site!
I just had adopted a guinea pig, I just can't wait to make her a cc cage.

Thanks sooo much for this site. My male pig needed more room and i went online to this site and found out about these great cages!!!!!!!

this site is just..WOW..

These cages are such a good Idea!!! I made a cage from this and it works SO well I LOVE IT! Thank you -Tasha

The cages are so awesome!!! I can't wait to order mine. I don't currently have a guinea pig but am getting a cavy friend in August. This website is great for research!!!

Hello, I'm really interested at looking at all these cages.
What is the tray made out of? - the bit that hold the guinea pig in, that's all I need to know to go and design my cage, I don't want to get the wrong materials!
Thankyou very much if you could tell me.
E-mail me: Lazycats_2@hotmail.co.uk

hello i waold like to know whwre to get the supplyes and what each is  called by name so i can find them  here

I adore guinea pigs, they are much more social than rabbits. I have a rabbit together with a guinea pig at the moment and they are more than okay. The rabbit i have is very careful and sensitive and so she always is great with it. I plan to get a cavy friend for my guinea pig though - and bring them inside into my room. That will be really exciting.

i really want a cool cage for my cavy but i live in england and my parents arn't all that devoted to my guinea pig called scruffles as i also have 2 rats, 3 hamsters, a cat, a puppy, and a pony but i want the best for my guinea pig. do you get the stuff used to make them in england? thanks

shall i put my piggies in a shed with the cage

hi

I am so excited to start building a cage for our 2 piggies.
They really need something bigger and commercially made cages can't hold a candle to these!
They will be so happy, it will be like a mansion compared to what they have now.

im gonna be making one for my 2 new guineas in august and i cant wait they have so many designs i dunno wot to pick

that is very good idea, but why aquarium cannot and also couse guinea pig diahrroa

i love the cages and i want one for my2 guinea pigs-truffel and polo

how do i make the bottom of my guinea pigs cage

i love the cages and i would like to make one for my two guinea pigs-Chip 'n' Dale there cage is small now but i need to know how to make the botom- i already know how to make the walls

Should the cage really be by a window, consindering drafts?

Question, do guinea pigs hav to be housed in pairs or can they be house alone? thansk for all of your help :-)

Open cages are easy to clean,but easy for dogs to get in

hello iam angel we just got one guiena pig female and for my daughter and got male to day need to build cage for them so they have alot room for there house .

I just bought a 2x5 C&C cage, however I only have one piggie.  I cant wait to get her a friend.  This site has given me so many cage ideas!  Great cages!

great cages!

love them all

i am so excited to start to make my new cage and play area for my 2 guinea pigs and i just wanted to say thanks for giving me some really great ideas!

I LOVE !!!!  ALL the cages.

I have 4 Piggies and built one of these cages using the storage cubes and my brother put linoleum on the floor for me.  It works out really well and is relatively easy to clean.

my piggies live outside i want them 2 live indoors but my mum says theyll smell!- there is 4 though

I love Piggies, I just bought my first one and I want to make her a new home.

I used plexeglass which worked well but was a little pricy

on the cages sizes i think the sizes r too big

That cage is SUPER BIG! I have 2 guinea pigs named Snickers and Echo and they have a cage that is about half the size of that!

I have been searching the internet for a site that has all the information that I need---this one is it. Your hard work and dedication really show through this website. Thank you so much

i am really impressed with your knowllege on piggies. Before i saw your internet site i was lost on what was fun to do and how to interactwith my pigs. I just wan't to say thank you for what you did to help me be at peace with my piggies. But what can i do about thier runny nose problem?

I have 2 piggies and 1s fat I don't know what to do I was going to buy a bigger cage this weekend but it is snowing and she gos under the couch alot when I let her run around

I WHEEK 4 PIGS!!! This site is absolutley awesome!

Love the site, i bought two guinea pigs, one ended being pregnant.  Needless to say my mother now owns two boys and i have four females.  where did you find the supplies?  especially the bottom?  i need a bigger cage for my piggies. help please!

What has the cost been?

LLLLLLLOOOOOOOOVVVVVVVVEEEEEEE!

i need shhets of coroplast for my pig pen some one please tell me a source close to home i live in the seattle area

I used this design.  It's really great and not at all expensive.

I love your design. It's a great alternative to buying a table and it's sooo chic you're piggy's must be in heaven!

very cool, I love this set up.  Are the bottom cubes attached or is the cage just sitting on top of the bottom cubes?

those cages are really  awsome

very cool cages

These cages are such a cool idea!!

I have eight pigs at the time.  the cage is getting too crowded,  I had the males fixed and thought it was good enough,  but twice it was aftetr they were already pregnant.  you have to hhave them ffixed at a young age.  I was wondering how much $ it cost any oof you to have the male fixed.  I paid 80 the first time,  and 140 the second.  sounds expensive.  I cant afford to have anymore fixed at the time,  and dont want to part with any due to missing them,  and not being able to find a great home for them......

l'm live in Korea.^_^/
hello.l love these cages,too.
cages family:Mom cage,Baby cages.
But,

I really love all of these cages and am really interested in building a good cage for my guinea pig, so would someone please send me an e-mail about how you all made your cages, like materials, putting it together, etc.??? Thanks so much!

I LOVE these cages. We went from 1 Guinea, to two, to five. Our second Guinea was pregnat from the pet store, after they were born we couldnt part with them. So with three girls and two boys, we need more room. The Girls moved into there new home about two weeks ago. The boys are now in  larger home as well. But I cant believe the difference in the Girls, they are more active, verbal, playful, it is sooo amazing. Now everytime you walk in the room, they squeal and run to the front of the cage to greet you. lol...This gets the boys going, five Guineas squeal at once is certainly noise, bt it makes me smile, i love it. The boys will move into thier new c&c cage in two weeks, just a smaller version since there is only two, they cant wait. On behalf of Karmel, Sophie, April, Harley, Chevy and my family thanks so much for the design idea, heck for sharing the whole c&c cage idea. We are ALL VER HAPPY.

Thank-you for the cage suggestions.  I built a two-storey enclosure for my 3 guinea pigs using some of the ideas on this site and they love it! I cover the upper level with newspapers and the lower level with shavings.  I put their fresh greens on the upper level, so they are not eating shavings with their food.  I can change the newspapers frequently to keep everything fresh and clean!

Thank you so much for this great idea!  My 3 little ones are going to love this!  The world needs more pet lovers like you!

can the creater of these cages PLEASE,Please e mail me! I love them I want to learn how you made them or buy some from you or something!

i just got two cute pigs i have two kids also what kind of cage would be the best for the pigs and not take up a lot of room

what do you use for the floor??????????

I bought a doughnut cat bed from Petco (around $10) and made a low ramp to it using Fiddle Sticks (ferretstore.com) covered with an old towel.  The pigs not only love to sleep in the bed (and rarely pee in it since it's on a different level), but they love the slight bounciness of the ramp.  They sort of bound in and out of bed!

i think piggies are so cccccuuuuttteee

JUST GOT one for grandbabby.what do you put down on botton of cage,and where do you get the grides

I was looking for something simple, but big enough to hold two pigs, and give them enough room for some excersize without having to run all over the house,and Barney & Muffin's Condo seems perfect and simple. Thanks for letting me view this.

When I decided to get my pig (Myrtle) a new friend, I decided a bigger cage was needed. After checking out a few cages at the pet store, I quickly realized these cages were going to be a winner. I saw such small, cramped cages for over $80. I went out and puchased the grides ($10 on sale at Target) and the Coroplast ($25 4x3 sheet). Total my new cage cost me about $35 ! It was very easy to put together. (I am not a "handy type person") Less than 1/2 of what the pet stores sell with about 10 times more room. My pigs (new pig is Pumpkin) are so happy and so am I. I improved their quality of life, thanks to this website !

I think you all did a wonderful job with your cages.

Could you use these type of cages as outdoor runs?

can i get cages in Ireland (Dublin)

Just bought my first Guniea pig and absoulutly adore them. Your site gave me some useful ideas for a wonderful cage. Hopefully soon we will all see it on here soon. By the way great site.

I'm going shopping tomorrow! I have four piggies all in seperate, small cages. This is an answer to my prayers. I have to thank a fellow guinea hobbier for the website info!

I would like get one larger of cage . Where should I get one like those?
Ok, First of all I didn't know My Female guinea pig is pregnancy. I don't know when she wll having babies as soon. She is big belly. I better move my butt. Need more more space for mother and her babies. I kept checking on her and not yet having babies. WHEN??? don't know when the babies born?

No matter, I keep all babies and must seperate males & females. I am fell in love with out two guinea pigs!! I need big two cage. for one Teddy and one for kitty and her babies. Soon I wll find one as I can or make one but I like those cage .

How much are yore cages open top as i can not build i like2x4 cage

I have five guinea pigs and would like to keep them all seperate.  I like the three, four and five grid cages shown in picture 17. Did you build these cages?  How can I get some like them?

you have some really cute Guinea Pig cages. But you'd better keep an eye on Jill's cage. . . the stuff on the shelf might fall on the Guiena Pig(s) that are in that cage.

Beautiful site!  Can anyone out there help with mite problems?  We suspect one of our gp had them so bad she had seizures. She just died this week.  Help!  We don't want to lose our other one and no vet wants to help!

This really a great site. It has helped me in finding what is best for my cavies. Thank you.

how do u make them????????????

hi i was wondering if you have any cages that would be small enough to be put up on a wall unit type thing? thanks

What did you make the bottom out of?

this is just a great site!
i cant thank you enough for all of the ideas you have given me!

Where can you get large piggy cages?

What are the sizes of your cage?

What are the plastic containers inside the mesh called? Where can I get them?

I love CavySpirit and CavyCages. They're so inspiring and they convinced me that Gp's aren't just little boring rodents (Before I got my lovably adorable Chia!!). They're SO COOL!!!!
I made my other GP (Kitten a.k.a Kotten:)) a triple decker, thanks to the ideas from CavyCages!!!!

Keep up the good work on finding homes (for Gp's)and giving those good cage ideas to us!!!

Thanks for being there for adorably piggies!!!!

Kriss :)

very informative web page!  I got lots of good ideas from this site!

I love all of the design!!!
And the  pig to!!!

Hello.  I have had C&C and i love the room, but it seems so dull, and boring.  Can you help me with some cage techniques and some cute ideas.  All i want is for the guinea pigs to be as happy as possible.  Also some hints on accessories would help.

New piggy owner.  Learned alot.
Thanks.

This was the easest cage I ever put together.  My Babies love their cage and all the room.  I am very glad that I found your web site.

If any of you have made any of these cages can you email a picture of them to me PLEASE! I have no ideas.

I love your cages!!!!I have a guinea pig myself and am thinking of making him a cage!Would you e-mail me and tell me what u used and how to do it?Please!!thanx!

Your guienea pigs are so cute, my friend has one that looks exactly like your black one!

wow!!! and I was going to go out and buy a borring pet store cage!!!!

Love the cages.  Thanks for the great ideas!!

cool.Very useful for school progects.Brill photos.xx

Very good idea!!  But it's too big for my "Scratchy" since he's solo.

I was so excited to find your AWESOME website! Thank you!

Really nice cages! These cages would make my cavies happy!

I just got two little piggies for my dorm room. This was the greatest idea I've found. They love there new cage, and it was cheap for me to make!!! Thanks Alot!

THIS IS WHAT I'M LOOKING FOR

My daughter brought home a guinea pig last week and I didn't know a thing about them. This site has given me lots of information and the bonus is ideas for the coolest cage for him.

These cages are the best I have ever saw. I have been looking for a cage
befor I buy my cavy,and it looks like I came to the right spot to buy

Just found your website while doing a search for guinea pig cages.  We have a 6 mo. old calico boar named Stu (named after Stu Pickles from Rugrats). He's a lot of fun. Got him for my son's 7th birthday but the whole family enjoys playing with him. He is in a cage that is 24X14X14 and is quickly outgrowing it. I love the ideas for larger cages that I saw in your photo albums. Stu will be getting a new "condo" very soon!

This is a wonderful idea for these cages. I wanted something that my guinea pig could have more room and this is perfect. Thanks so much for the ideas.

just got a pig for my daughter and looking for ideas on room and exercise for her..

I just made a C&C cage for our two piggies and they love it.   In fact, we call the lower level the race track because they're so active.  I made the walls 6 inches high. Any suggestions for keeping bedding in? They're kicking it out when the round the corners at 30 mph.  Thanks!

i  love  your  cangs

These cages are brilliant!  but...  can you get this stuff in Australia?????

i cant wait 2 make a cage! thanks 4 the wonderful ideas. my guinea pig has been living in an old rusty cageand my piggy would love a new cage!! thanks again!

Can't wait to make a cool cage for the piggy!!  Working on tracking down the elusive coroplast!  Thank you!

I love my new cage!!!!!! My two piggies have tons of room to play. The assembly was simple and quick, and cleaning the cage is a breeze!

Curious!

I have no clue where to find cubes+coroplast , but I'm still looking!

I never thought of these ideas, thanks I have to try them.

We just recently bought a Cavy together and we paid $81 for our "cavy cage". Luckily we kept the receipt, because that piece of plastic is going back and we're going to make a duplicate of one of the fabulous cages we saw on this site! Thank You so much for the advice!!

Our first cavy for our 7 year old. We're so excited about the cube & Coroplast alternative to the small, expensive cages in the stores

Wow, these make great indoor cages.  Pigs will adore them.

My pigs will love their new cage! Betty Boop & Smokey Joe say "thank you!"

Thank you!  I can't wait to make one for my Zoe.

These look great!  As soon as we buy a house, I will have to try making one of these luxury homes for our piggy.  I know she will love the extra space.

The ideas and information on this site are great, I am now build a C&C cage.  Keep up the great work.

i really like your cage ideas! I want to try it too for my guinea pig beause I think her cage is way too small.

wonderful site!

the cage is cheaper to build than a petstore cage is to buy, coroplast cost me $12, cubes were $40 for 3 boxes, I have a 6x2 grid cage with 2 upper decks...

i love this website

How much would one cost because they are so neat. Get back to me.

looking to build new cage

Do I even want to ask the price!::::eeek::::: lol

I am SOOOO GLAD I found your site!  I made a cage, and in the process found that the back seats in my car fold down--got the coroplast home without a problem.  It was so much fun to see my girls run "hot laps" around the cage the first time I put them in.  As a single parent on a budget, your cage design was a real blessing!  I spent a total of $35 and have three times the room of an $80 commercial cage.  My girls thank you all!

great Website, best I have found will be definately improving the cage formy three GPs

I love your cages

This is a great web site. I am going to make a bigger cage for my two gp's so they can be together all of the time. I was just looking at an $80 cage and I'm so glad I came across your site during my GP search. Thanks for sharing your time with trials and errors and letting us guinea pig parents know about your findings. I love sharing things like this, it benefits many!

I LOVE THIS WEB SITE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This is a great site.  I am going to try and make a cage for my new guinea pig.  Great Idea wish this site was here when I was a kid.

This web site is awesome I'm thinking of making one my self!! Thanx cubes ans coroplast!!!

I am thinking of getting my grandson a guinea pig for his birthday so I am researching all I can about them.  I would have to get all he needed for it too.  This is a BIG

The cages look great.  My sister made one and only has one pig.  She found the site and showed it to me, now I can't wait to make my first cage, as I am the one with all the pigs and enjoys raising them.

I love the look of these cages!  I am in the process of acquiring the supplies.

I lovall of the ideas!  Instead of buying a new cage for my guinea pigs (Patches and Rocky), I plan to try designing one myself.  Thanks for the inspiration!

I'm new to the world of cavys. Thank you for the great ideas.

The cages all are so nice. Its going to be hard to decide on which way to build. So many ideas. Thanks.

Hello. Thankyou So much for sharing your Creative Cube Cage Photos with me, My guinea pig Duncon is in need of a different and larger cage, Im going out to go get the cubes. Thankyou for the ideas!!

Great Job!!! :o)

Very enlightening.  I was looking for a change in atomsphere for my Valentine.
Many ideas to choose from. Thanks!

Thanx! I'm looking for a better cage for my guinea pig "Guiness" that's easier to clean, and more fun.

i love these but cannot find the cubes to make mine   please help
