Since I built the second level to my C&C it seemed a bit dark on the bottom level where Mabel & Dottie live, Tracey (guinea pig slave) suggested using some fairy lights in the evenings to brighten it up - what a good idea!

So here they are! They look very pretty and have brightened up the cage in the evenings. They're little diamonds - gosh my girls are spoilt!

*just to mention I've checked them since they've been on and they don't seem to get hot at all (they're not like normal fairy lights), but i'll make sure i'm around when they're on*

Very pretty!

If they're LED lights then LEDs are known for generating much less heat than standard bulbs (and LEDs are cheaper to run too!)

Yes, that's the word i was looking for! They are LED lights (you can't change the bulbs) - thanks! Oh and that's nice to know that they are cheaper to run, i didn't even consider my electricity bill mallethead:x i have the washing machine on at least 3 times a week though washing all the vet bed so i'm sure the lights wont make much of a difference!
 
Thats a good idea. I noticed my boys on the lower level, there cage is very dark and I always feel sorry for them. I think I might try and add some lighting, too. =)

It's great isn't it! A lovely lady paints them and sells them on ebay, it really looks like my girls too, she's very clever!

Cute! I love it, i might try it when my c & c is done as a i worry about the bottom being a bit dark too lol :))
 
And I get accused of spoiling my pigs?! :)) I think fairy lights and castles are a bit girly for my boys :(

You're welcome hun - looks fab x>>
 
Looks so cool, perhaps MTV should do a 'Guinea Pigs Cribs' show.
 
It would be the best show ever!

When they showed the garage you could have lots of cavy cosies in the shape of cars..... I would also like the shot inside the fridge - it would be full of parsley and other herbage.... *dreams*
 
Technical question for you, Guinea Pigs >3 if you don't mind....how easy do you find mucking out the lower level with your design? I've got my boys in a double decker c&c and I find cleaning out the lower level and absolute nightmare...if yours is easy, I might redesign mine ?/

Hello Herbiehogs, because i only have the one C&C grid at the front i'm finding it fairly easy to clean out, and i have large pieces of vet bed to get in/out. It's obviously not as easy as when i just had one level but where there is a two grid space it's pretty easy to get in to clean it! Hope this helps! At the moment it's two separate cages but if my bonding is successful i will be making a ramp and the piggies will have the whole run of it! This does however mean that i will need to take it all apart again malletheadmalletheadmallethead i guess this is the beauty of C&C though!
