I bought one of these cages when the news of my impending babies hit me.
IT IS FAB! I have put a block of wood under 2 of the ramps which I thought might be too steep, but now the pigs are familiar with the ramps there are up and down like yo yos even jumping up to the platforms between floors. It keeps a check on excessive claw growth with all the ramps, I also have a scrunchie tunnel which clips on the bars of the cage, parents and babies run through it and sleep in it. I have sleeping quarters on the top level and a see saw ( sorry couldn't resist, but they are so funny running over it) then the middle tier has the tunnel and I feed at the bottom. That way the hay food veggies etc have nowhere to go so stay inside the cage not flicked all over the floor. I have used the tunnel instead of a ramp which also works well. Ther are so many variations as to where you can put things it keeps my guineas stimulated. I'm thinking of entering them in the next olympics!
Don't be put off by the ramps the guineas manage fine. I put the family together when the babies were about 10 days old and the little ones managed straight away, so cute to see Mum, Dad and three little ones following up and down, shame to split them.
there will be lots of long faces.

That sounds great!

We were looking at the Tommy T3 cage on Zooplus, but the reviews were not that good, saying it wasn't that well constructed and the ramps were flimsy - is this the same cage as yours?
 
Hi, I have strenghtened the plastic clip bits by attaching them through the holes with string so all the weight isn't on the clips. They do look rather flimsy hence the modification, I thought the weight of 2 plus guineas at once might be too much for the ramps. It arrived flat packed and was a little like the krypton factor to put together. The sides are held together with corner clips and extra small clips aswell. I'm not sure how to post photos yet, can't get them small enough but if you want me to email you some close ups of any parts etc I'd be happy to.
thanks Katharine
 
That sounds like a wonderful cage! Just one thing, you said you put the Dad back in with the Mum. Is the Dad neutered? If not, more than likely you're bound for some more babies.
