C&c Cage List.

[PumpkinButt]

Does anyone know what I would need to build a cage for Pumpkin & Peanut?
All though I have been very busy I think it would be a neat project to do!

You need:
- grids
- connectors or cable ties
- correx/coroplast
- duct tape and a stanley knife to cut the the correx to size/cut and shape any corners. To bend the sides, cut halfway through the correx from the underside

If you want to use connectors, I suggest you use cable ties as well. I wouldn't trust them alone.

PS:
A pen and a tape measure as well as something long and straight to mark where you are cutting through fully and with a different colour or a different pattern where you can cut through only partially.

Thankfully, you can tape up any accidents or mistakes with duct tape.

I would recommend making a 5-foot-long cage and putting the cage next to pumpkin's. If there isn't enough space for both cages, you can make a cage that is at least 6 foot long (but 8 or more would be preferable) and divide it along the middle (not lengthways, that would use loads of grids) using grids with a bit of correx on the bottom to create two 3 (at least) foot long cages. They'll be able to chat through the bars, and 3x2 foot is the minimum requirement for one piggy but 2x4 is probably better.

I'm from the States too, so I think I may be of help. There are the things you need, but here is where you can get them:
Grids- Walmart, Target, Sears, sometimes hardware stores, sometimes stores that sell storage items
Coroplast/Correx- Sign shops, occasionally hardware stores

You can also get premade cages from a lot of websites. For example, I am getting mine from guineapigcages.com, but I think it would be more fun to build one. Hope this helped!
