Adult Guinea Pig
Hello, I am stuck on how to re-design my cage as I know it can't be so easily changed once you've cut the correx etc. I have a C & C which I was originally planning on being 6 x 6 (210x210) on the floor. But then I've realised it is possible to make a stand with extra grids which possibly will be better for storage and viewing of the guinea pigs/may make them slightly tamer if I'm at their level rather than looming over the top of them. I am not sure how sturdy this will be as I was planning on making a fairly large wooden guinea pig castle with multiple bridges like little adventures over christmas and I'm not sure if the C&C stand would be able to support this. Also I don't know how difficult cleaning would be if it's on a stand as at the moment I physically climb inside the cage when I'm cleaning and I probably won't be able to do this with a stand. I realise a 6x6 would be hard to clean with a stand as well due to the width and having to reach into the corners on the opposite side in order to clean. I have seem some narrower ones I let the look of which I think would be easier to clean. I was thinking the max I could have would be a 3 x 9 on a stand would this be more appropriate for 5 guinea pigs or not? As although I think it is less square feet it does give them more room to roam especially with a boar. I could attempt a 4 x 9 but I don't know how easy this would be to clean as it would be 140 wide so I'm thinking max 105 width with a stand and a longer design. What do you guys think? Any advice/opinions would be appreciated
Many thanks all
