C & C = Cubes & Corroplast.
Have a look here http://www.guineapigcages.com/cubes.htm. There's lot's of piccies showing how versatile they are

Have a look on ebay for the grids or in the For Sale bit on here. I can't remember the list of stockists where they're available

Grids are available from screwfix direct. Theres a couple of other sites but I found them the cheapest.

You can get the coroplast from ebay or a local signshop maybe.

They're a great kind of cage and you can custom build it to whatever shape you want.

As tall as you want I use tie-wraps to join the grids together which makes it secure, or do you mean can piggies escape? The answer is No unless they're tiny babies then they would easily fit thru' the gaps

i found a site, well a friend found it and showed me you can buy grids seperatly so if you only need like 2-3 to make a little extra room these are perfect and come in a range of sizes..quite cheap too i thought

We have just made a C&C cage for our boys that recently fell out. It suits them perfectly because they can't bear to be apart, but can't be in the same space either, so the grid is a perfect divider, they don't bite it like they did with the cage bars, and they can still cuddle through the grids. We bought them through Screwfix. They were just under £20 for 17 panels and the connectors. The holes are very small however you cannot fit a water bottle spout through them, so we poked the spout through the slots between the grids so it rested on the coroplast.

We bought the coroplast through a local signwriters, try the yellow pages and ask for Coroplast or Correx. We paid a total of £29 for two huge 8' by 4' sheets and delivery. The people on this forum have been invaluable as a help for making up things like this and we would have really been stumped without their help
