Our home is a 24.5 square foot C&C cage. Click here to learn more about what a C&C cage is and why it’s totally awesome. Then find out how you can make your own C&C cage.

Metal storage grids can be found at local big-box stores like Walmart, Costco, and Target. We purchased our grids at Target. It’s imperative for your guinea pig’s safety that you only purchase grids that have 9 holes across each side (see what a 9×9 grid looks like). Some newer packages of grids contain 8×8 and 5×5 grids which may be potentially dangerous for your piggie due to the larger hole size.

Coroplast is like plastic corrugated cardboard. It is water-resistent and perfect for the behavioral needs of guinea pigs (if you know what I mean). It is easy to keep clean and sturdy enough to keep its shape for a long time. You can find coroplast usually at art supply stores and sign stores. In fact, we used Fast Signs to buy our coroplast. It was $30 for a 8 ft by 4 ft sheet of coroplast.

The Happy Cavy Palace

Cavy Cage  

The cage has two levels. The bottom level is used as a multi-purpose “living room”. The top level is primarily a get-away if any of the piggies need to escape and get some alone time – Feebee loves running up and down the ramp.

The cage is big enough to provide plenty of room for the energetic guinea pigs to run around until they pass out or until they get a stern warning from Bitsy "knock it off".

Hammy and Buttercup love to nibble on the coroplast. All the guinea pigs like to run up and down the ramp, which is great for exercise!

It is quite a nice place for the piggies to rest and nuggle in their cavy cozy.

The climate is mild. This means that our winters are wet and rainy and our summers are hot and dry. We get to play outside in the summer and munch on fresh green grass and dandelions. In the winter we like to suggle with our humans and relax in our pigloos.
