2 Upstairs-Cubes and Coroplast The top portion, made with cubes and coroplast, which I will call the "upstairs! cage". When I say upper !deck, I am referring onl!y to a deck within the upstai!rs or the downstairs cage, i!t does not mean the top port!ion of the bunk bed.1! “OMG that is soooooawesome i wish i h...” –Kaity“i have 6 pigs myslef and they each h...” –julie“1have 6 pigs and a c&c cage for each...” –julie“i love this cage! its so awesome i b...” –mistyendoftherainbow (:“I love the cage you built--both the ...” –Mary“this is so cool i cant wait to make ...” –aubry“i was wondering what size of cubes a...” –Anna“Piiiiggggggggiiiiieeeesssss!! =D” –Charlie =0“this is so cool” –hannah“Nice house, but alittle odd.” –Margaret“How cute!

3 Upstairs-Unfinished Upper Deck In this pic you can see the unfinished upper deck behind my piggie. I put it halfway down the length of the cube grid because I have one visually impaired pig in this cage. “awwww... so cute! if i were a visual...” –mistyendoftherainbow (:“What a cavy house!” –MsRachella“It's like a piggy mansion my piggys ...” –piggylover“It's like a piggy mansion!” –guinea pig girl 95“They realy r cute, i have old bunk b...” –Jake“awwww your pig is so cute mine has s...” –Lyndsay“If He's Visually impaired, How DOS H...” –Mary“great job is that pig blindif is poo...” –jesseandsnowy“great job is that pig blindif is poo...” –jesseandsnowy“awwwwww!! these cavies would have a ...” –*Claire*“Does the "Visually Impaired Pig...” –Procrastinator Pig
4 Temporary Grid Tent This photo of Cheyenne shows the temporary tent I made for the pigs to get under until I can find them a good house. I used two cube grids connected at right angles with the grid connectors, and covered it with a rug. This would only be a temporary solution, because for the long term, I would not want my pigs eating the rug. “soz aout the dumb qs but wat is a pi...” –molly and floss“I tried to get my parents into buyin...” –Nature Spirit(Sarah)“marry me jade!!!” –charlie“Is that a tent?” –Kiara“I Don't know What to Say! Wow!” –Mary“You take tent siriously...cool!” –Brady“is the tent coolmy pig is always rea...” –jesseandsnowy“that is a cool tent idea!” –*Claire*“nice cage” –coolio
5 Hidey House - another view I left running space on the other side of the tent. “Should I get my son a guinea pig” –Katie Rushlo“i think all of ur piggies r adorable...” –mistyendoftherainbow (:“Hannah shut up no one cares wat u th...” –yayyyy!“so creative! i have a guinea pig tha...” –bibi“very cute but u must not have a very...” –Hannah“i wish i had a cage like that i have...” –Erika Brincat“He looks like he's trying to keep th...” –gundy“Hes' SO Cute!!!!” –Mary“your pigs must have the best owner” –jesseandsnowy“awwwwww!! these cavy would have a gr...” –*Claire*
6 Plexiglas Front Wall Inside view of the temporary tent looking through the plexiglass front wall. The coroplast comes up three inches, then the plexiglass goes up 9 inches from there. “i agree with rayn :) hannah: .l.” –mistyendoftherainbow (:“uhh hannah.. Why do you feel sorry f...” –Drew :]“ur a b*tch hannah” –rayn“:(” –Hannah“i feel so sorry for u :)” –Hannah“How many guinea pigs DO you have? I'...” –Nature Spirit(Sarah)“How do you make a tent like that?” –Kiara“your pigs look like my pig snowy see...” –jesseandsnowy“My GP Caramal would love that 'tent'...” –Claire
7 Ramp to Upper Deck This is a good shot of the ramp wtih Silky and Charlotte sharing a piece of lettuce. I made the ramp from a piece of wood, covered it with coroplast to protect the wood from urine (better than "bareback"), and put a piece of red carpet for the pigs for traction. It is secured at the top with a wire underneath that holds it to the cube grid. “that is so cool! i just got two guin...” –Kelsey“HEY!! I used to have a gpig named Ch...” –Kaylee“tha fartawuy maicc na sens thraiw up...” –im a jurk maic no sens“Could you tell me how to make a ramp...” –Nature Spirit(Sarah)“OMG, that setup is so fetch, u are s...” –Jerry“you have some of the most beautiful ...” –Gabby“that orange, black, and white cavy i...” –vicki“Did you make that upper raft or did ...” –Kiara“CCCCCCCCCCCCUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUTTTTTTTTT...” –Mary“allyour pigs right are there more if...” –jesseandsnowy“do they really go up that ramp?

9 Hay Rack - Empty The pigs love this idea. I took a pic without hay inside so people can see it for what it is, or rather, was. It is a new unused shower caddy that I purchased at a thrift store for 1$. The red paper behind it was just for showing it better in the picture. “Awesome :3” –Rebecca“GENOIOUS!!!!!!! THANKS FOR THE IDEA ...” –me :)“mai faivuret colur is thu ries” –im a jurk maic no sens“I have that rack already!!!! cool! t...” –Guinea Pig Lover101!!!!!“i meant about guinea pigs!!!” –vicki“the website www.cavycages.com is rea...” –vicki“that idea is really good because its...” –Vicki“Thats cool!!!! just about anything c...” –vicki“Did you make it?” –Kiara“I am going to do this. I just got ri...” –tara in hawaii“great idea” –sarah“This is my FAVORITE idea yet!! I HAT...” –Maxinne“cool! But does it matter how much ha...” –iluvpiggies“Good idea!” –Claire“That is a GREAT idea :0) hayracks r ...” –Caitlin
10 Hay Rack - With Hay I usually fill it much fuller than this to start, but we were at the bottom of the bag and I had to go buy more hay that day. Behind the hay rack and above the level of the coroplast, is a thin sheet of plexiglass or rather acrylic plastic to help keep the hay from spilling out. “wow! its almost like a hay net!!! li...” –jaimie“Nice idea.” –Anonomus“that is a really good idea with the ...” –vicki“This is an AWESOME idea! And cheap t...” –Andrea
11 Attaching Coroplast to grids I puched holes in the coroplast and used a zip tie to secure the hay rack so it would not wobble, or could not be knocked off if a pig tried to crawl under. “Corolast & grids for guinea pigs cag...” –Henry“My cavy, armed with his trusty tin-s...” –Guinea Fig Lover“That is helpful! My pigs would knock...” –Claire
12 Grid - Overlapped and Secured I had to do some overlap to make my grid cage fit the space I was limited to. I used both duct tape in the color of my cube grids, AND zip ties to be extra secure. I put the tape and zip ties down the overlapping ends as well as the side that is pictured. “wickid! how come i neva thought of t...” –Lolo24/7“u r a good owner!” –amy“Security is definately very importan...” –Sarah
13 Cozy I call it Silky's Sleeping bag... it is a homemade cavy cozy. Charlotte is as snug as a bug in a rug in there. I made it from an overstuffed quilted placemat looking thing that I purchased at a thrift store. Just secure by attaching velcro closures. “he looks sosnug in there sweet idea!...” –piggieloverpigs“Cooooooooooooooooollllllll is discom...” –Garp“Ahhhhhhhhhhh it is sooooooooo c-u-t-...” –Orangefreak!!!“I think that's a smart & really cute...” –Margaret“COOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO...” –dillan“i hav to try that” –mar2 ricci“it's soooooooooooooooo cute” –Debbie“How did you make that, its cute!” –Kiara“that is such a great idea. i am goin...” –sarah“very very cute, but won't they urina...” –Gabrielle“awwww that is so cute you are so luc...” –wantinaguinea“I wish that I could have room for on...” –Kate“AwWwW!!

It is soooooo...” –Lu“awwwwwwww how cute its so neat how u...” –guinea pig lover
14 New House The "house" I eventually purchased. It was a storage container until I cut doors on both ends for the pigs to go in and out of. “G-hetto! Im kidding xD I do that to....” –Anonymous“i love it my friend gave me a pigloo...” –guineapig“wow that is smart i will so try that...” –savannah“doesn't the door have sharp sides?” –gpgirl“I saw it and made one just like it!!” –melissa“sheena, it looks like your pigs r th...” –vicki“Good idea!” –Kiara“This cage is really neat!

Even I could make that...” –Claire“you can use plastic stools too they ...” –jessia
15 Pig House Inside the new pig house of the upstairs cage. Charlotte in front and Silky in back. I cut the doors out with tin snips actually. And smoothed over rough edges with a hobby knife, like the kind used in model airplane building. “Charlotte has my name x3 I love your...” –Charzard03“i have a guinea pig too!WHAT`S IT`S ...” –akeel“looks like they have a secret” –savannah“Ok.The brown and black guinea pig is...” –GuineaPiggyLuva423“smart” –savannah“:o soz tht was ma m8 just delete the...” –Thoomas sawyer the firth!“Wheres his dick its chhesy &)(&” –Thoomas sawyer the firth!“Cuite” –Anonomus“Adorable piggies!!!!!” –Kiara“ME TOO” –sarah“Charlotte is yhe kind of cavie i wan...” –Lolo24/7“awwwwww!! these cavies would have a ...” –*Claire*
