C&C Cubes

[Princess_Harriet]

I'm making a new cage for the pigs next week, and am ordering the supplies! I was planning to use the Songmics cubes, as many on here have recommended, but then I remembered that I've had cubes sitting in my garage for ages. Only thing is, they're solid and transparent instead of having grids (if that makes sense). They look like this:

I'm just wondering, would these be ok to use for a guinea pig cage? This is my first time building a C&C cage, and I don't know if they need the gridded cubes for breathability or something? Thanks in advance!

Yes they are fine to use, although you would need to use either water bowls or free standing water bottles

If you're worried about airflow, lots of places sell single or small packs of grids. Then you'll can just swap a couple out but if it's open topped, it shouldn't be necessary.

I was about to say that! I would be inclined to use at least a couple of wire ones to attach bottles and help air flow.

The plastic is light and useful, but a determined piggy could chew through it if he had a mind to. It just depends on the piggy. The squares are often slightly smaller than the wire grids Songmics also sells, which are unlikely to succumb to chewing.
