I got two packs of this, you can also get packs from b&q too. You just put them together how you like it to be!

You would get the base corraguated plastic, also known as correx from local signmakers, travis perkins (who call it cordek) and cut it to size.

www.guineapigcages.com will show you how to do it all! its really easy!
 
well done mrs, that looks excellent, i like the shelf, we keep meaning to put a few in for ours, but never get around to it.
 
Happy shopper

Aw thank you! Keep us updated on your cage and if you have any questions, do not hesitate to ask!

Yeah, they love the ledge, they can jump up on it easily, but I also have steps going up to it, I think you can see that in the piccie. They love the ramp too! all they do is popcorn up and down it! :))
 
WOW thats fab! the ramp looks great and i love the little shelf with scruffy on! You've done an excellent job, well done!:)):)) What did you use as a base on the 2nd floor?

I'm picking up my grids tonight, still got to get the correx sorted out! I need to find a man with a van! inbreeding

Ive got to get fleecing for the shelf and the upper level hence jus newspaper at the moment!

I used correx which I had left over for the base, just measured it and made a little tray as such for them up there too. I am so pleased I have a second level as they love the ramp! I dont think I would have a cage without one if I could do one.

How exciting Louise! i bet you will get home and start piecing it together, even though you havent the wooden base - its just that temptation isnt it! lol!

I was like that, but my sister OH has his own van, so I borrowed him for the Saturday morning! hehe!

Aw thats bad, so when you hold them, does that make you bad?! i would hate to be allergic to my babies, i feel for you!

Aw thats cool, they will love that! nice and toasty in the winter! :)
 
It looks absolutely fabulous, well done you, you've obviously done a lot of planning! I usually chop the ends off cable ties (especially ones inside to stop curious nibblers!)

its lovely to watch isnt it! It took me the put together about 20 mins, then to bend ramp and attached about 10mins. to cut out the fleecing it took bout 25/30mins and correx my sisters OH did for me which took him bout 30mins to make sure all measurements correct, cut out and stuck together.

all in all bout 1hr and half, not long at all! i spread it out though over a few days, like did cage one day, ramp and fleecing another etc.

Its so easy to do, and i love it!
 
yeah, i will, thanks emma! they've got plenty of things to naw on, so lets hope they use them!
