This Coroplast base is made from 4mm-thick corrugated plastic and is designed to be used with our Cagetopia grids (14" square) with connectors. This Large size is 27"x56" for 2x4-grid cages. It is professionally cut and scored and includes reusable, plastic rivets to secure the corners.

Item #: CORO-BASE-LG
Availability: In Stock

Large Cage Dimensions

  • Interior: 27" x 56" = about 10.5 Square Feet of cage space.
  • Exterior: 30" x 60" when assembled with grids (not included in this item) you will need a table space of about 2.5 feet by 5 feet to accommodate this cage.

Coro Height Options

  • 6" walls on all four sides. This is the perfect height for keeping bedding contained, visibility to pigs, good airflow, and safety.
  • 10" walls on all four sides for Hedgehogs only.
  • 12" wall on one long side as shown. Three sides are 6". May help keep hay and bedding kick-out more contained with active guinea pigs, especially when not using fleece, but generally 6" walls are just fine.

  • For a 12" wall on a short END (behind a Kitchen), we recommend our Backsplash, which is removable for cleaning.
  • 12" back walls are NOT compatible with Patios, Lookout Lounges, Cage Dividers, Piggy Perches, or Midwest Mezzanines (without cutting into the Coroplast back wall -- doable).
  • High walls all the way around a cage are not recommended for guinea pigs as it blocks too much airflow as well as your visibility.

Coroplast Base Includes

  • 4mm Coroplast bottom in your choice of 16 colors!
    The base is pre-cut and pre-scored with pre-punched holes to secure flaps using snap-in plastic rivets (not tape). Coroplast base is creased and folded for shipping, which creates an indented "crush" line. This does not affect the functionality of the cage and is behind the grid wall when assembled.
  • Rivets for fastening all coroplast flaps

Our Cagetopia-brand Grids have stayed the same over the years as we have many hundreds of thousands of C&C cage owners (DIY and customers) that depend on the original sizes and the best quality grids and connectors.

Supplying your OWN GRIDS?

Or mixing in different grid sources or vendors? No 14" grids are the same anymore. Please review:

  • Many 14" grids are NO LONGER COMPATIBLE
  • Grid Vendors are now ALL DIFFERENT from each other
    Especially on Amazon, but also Bed, Bath & Beyond, Target, etc.
    • DIFFERENT CONNECTORS: gap spacing (space between grids) can be different (standard = 3/8") and that matters.
    • Grid Size: 14" exactly is required -- NOT 12" or anything else
    • Grid Wire Gauge (thickness): Grid vendors adapt their connectors to their wire gauge, which is typically thinner than ours (4mm = 3 pennies), so they won't work well together, if at all -- too tight or too loose.
    • Inner Grid-hole Size (safety-related):
      NO INNER HOLES BIGGER than 1.5" or you risk your guinea pig's head getting stuck and strangling. In a 14" grid, there should be 9 holes by 9 holes -- never less.
  • Using only Zip Ties (no connectors) is NOT RECOMMENDED.
    CAGETOPIA CONNECTORS WORK GREAT
    Some people complain about using the connectors. They are using NON-Cagetopia connectors. Ours work great and are easy to snap in, while being strong and stable.
    • Zip ties alone ARE NOT STRONGER as compared to using Connectors WITH zip ties (not opinion, engineering fact).
    • Many Cagetopia products will NOT be compatible for fit without using the connectors.
    • The fit of the coro inside the grids will be different.

Trying to save a few dollars now on purchasing grids separately could be a frustrating, if not an expensive, decision later.

All these things MATTER on CAGE BUILDING.

If you buy one vendor's grids today and try to mix in a different vendor's grids from Amazon tomorrow, odds are high they may not be compatible with each other or our Cagetopia Grids.

I couldn’t have asked for a better coroplast base for the piggies cage. Shipping was fast, set up was easy, and the guinea pigs couldn’t be happier. I will be purchasing cage upgrades and enhancements from guinea pig cages store from now on! (:

I just purchased a c&c cage from this site as recommended to me by a coworker. I was incredibly surprised by the price of the cages as they were all so large and they came with the coroplast to help with cleanliness. I ordered it technically on a Sunday (middle of the night purchase) and received it on Thursday!!! Took some time to set it up but it looks amazing and my piggies are so incredibly happy with their new space!!!! I also bought them each a litter box and they actually use them. Extremely happy with my purchase!!!!!!

This was perfect for my needs. I appreciated how the required you to check a box that you read the Before you buy article because that gave me all the information I needed to know EXACTLY what to expect. The turn around time and delivery was super speedy and it was (literally) a snap to put together. Will definitely buy from this store in the future!

Amazing!

As a new Guinea Pig Mom, I had a hard time getting the concept of coroplast cages. My first cage consisted of poorly cut pieces that did not, to my frustration, fit together like puzzle pieces. Not only did this come an entire day before I expected it, but it took me a whopping five minutes (if that) to put it together!!! I also created my own C&C base to put the cage on, and this piece fit perfectly with the dimensions that I created myself, even using grids that I bought elsewhere. I really appreciate all of the effort put into making these products, and will definitely buy again!!!

The coro base arrived nicely packed in the mail, with clear instructions and took only 5 minutes to assemble. Great quality with super easy-to-use tabs to lock the walls in place. My guinea pig was popcorning all day in his new cage, he gives it a five star rating.

I just recently expanded my hedgehog's cage from 2x3 to 2x4, so I got the light blue coroplast for the size we needed. It is a much deeper blue in person, and I love it! The coroplast was easy to put together as well. My hedgie approves as well, loving her expansion.

I hadn't ordered a coroplast base from this website before and would instead get a full sheet from a sign shop. When I moved, I couldn't find a shop that would sell a sheet to me so I decided to get one from here. The base is a vibrant blue color and it was a snap to put together. The big thing that I'm actually more impressed with is the little beginners care package that they possibly send with every order. While I'm not a beginner, it was still really sweet of them to make such a caring gesture! I'm definitely ordering from here again when I need another base or want to make other additions.

I built my own cage before and bought the coroplast from a local sign shop but since I moved I had more space and decided to upgrade my pigs cage to a 2X4 but couldn't find a reasonable price for the coro in the size I needed, I was so excited to find this site and even more excited when after a mere 2 days a package arrived with everything I ordered! I am so pleased with the condition of absolutely everything, the only reason I rated it 4 out of 5 stars is because my base ended up being an inch too long for my 2x4 grid cage because I used zip ties to hold everything together instead of connectors. This isn't any fault of the product I simply should have thought ahead and realized that the product size would be different without the spaces between each grid taken up by the connectors...

I am again, amazed with this product. I got my lone pig a friend this year and had to expand from a 2x3 to a 2x4. The package came in less than three days, and all costs were extremely reasonable. It's so easy to clean, and my pigs love it! Sue has always been helpful answering my questions, and I really enjoy the guinea pig community that she and Teresa have created. Join the forum!
Thank you C&C!!!
P.S.
I love the new site too!

It has been such a pleasure to work through your website and receive such quick replies to any of my questions. I donÕt think there are too many businesses around that would offer the attention and help you do and that is before even making a purchase! ItÕs very nice to be able to ask and receive your response without feeling badly or like I am wasting someoneÕs time. It is especially nice to be able to order the coroplast through you since my original attempt was less than spectacular! Thank you for all your help and fast replies, I look forward to doing business with you again in the near future.

I had adopted two pigs from the humane society, and not knowing any better bought them a "large" cage at a Petstore. My cousin came over (and being a pig owner) told me about the idea of C&C cages. I loved it and checked it out on the website. I tried around my neighborhood to find a sign store but it was impossible for me to find one. I went on to this site and realized that you could buy them here. I bought the green 2x4 Coroplast base from Sue and it was delivered. I set it up and I already had the Cubes. It was so easy to set up. Finally, I put in the piggies. I put them in and they started running around popcorning and having a blast! I am so glad i got the cage, it was worth every penny! It is so easy to clean and i can put a lot more hidey houses which makes them have fun and not fight! It was great and I cannot thank you enough! I and the piggies love it!

Bugsy acts like a member of the family now

My daughter's friend gave her the daddy guinea pig after their other "male" had babies. Ahh the joys of pet store accuracy in Guinea Pig sexing! Anyway her friend kept the mama and 4 babies & we got the daddy. I knew nothing about piggies & he lived in the Petco "large" cage. It really was the size of our old cat's litter box! I was looking for a bigger cage that wouldn't break the bank & was having very little success. A co-worker who used to have piggies told me to Google your site. I found the cubes in Wal-Mart & ordered the coroplast from Sue. Just got it together tonight & Bugsy is happy as a clam! He is squeaking popcorning & running around. He used to popcorn when I would feed him but now he is doing it just because. Took him some time to get used to the ramp but now he runs up to the hayloft gets his timothy hay & then runs back down. I am so happy that I found your site & learned so much about how to keep my piggie happy. Bugsy is a member of our family & I'm sure he feels like one now! Yay!!

I had a modified CAC cage, and I was using cardboard boxes for the bottom. Got very tired of trying to find appropriate size boxes. I ordered the coroplast from Sue, and it was a fab addition! I already had the grids. However, we did a cage upgrade when we got the coroplast from Sue. We have 2x4 bottom w/ a 2x2 top level. I have never seen such happy pigs! They are running circles, jumping, squeaking...and driving the dogs nuts with all their activity now. Thanks!
