Lookout Lounge

Super surprised how much our pigs enjoyed running up and down and chilling on their lookout lounge. However, it's also become a massive potty area, and the coroplast that it came with is way insufficient to deal with this (i.e., there is zero backing on the outer edges, leading to a lot of poop on the floor). We had to go to Home Depot to build a custom solution, which is very disappointing.

I absolutely love this addition to my cage. I will say that the ramps take up about a grids worth of space, so I would keep that in mind if you have a smaller C&C cage. I have a 2x4 and it fits well, but I think the 2x5 would be better! My girls use this for zoomie laps and it is definitely a favorite!

The lookout lounge is a super fun addition to our 2x5. Basically, if you can insert/pull a zip tie, then you'll have no problem with installation. It's an engineering marvel: fits perfectly, all parts line up just right, sits sturdy and securely. If you're particular like I am, you will appreciate how precise the carpeting is attached and how the roof fits just so. My two buddies love the Lookout Lounge! (I'm kind of jealous, actually!)

While my piggies love to lounge up on their lookout lounge, unfortunately, my unit did not come with choloroplast along the sides. Poop and urine fall out of the exposed grids. I even ordered the corresponding fleece cover, but the edges don’t come up enough to offer any protection for my walls. For the cost, I wish cholorplast went all the way around the 3 sides.

Since my guinea pigs have been growing, I wanted their cage to grow with them. Being tight on space, I was hoping this little extension would at least give them more space to run. I did not expect them to use it as their new favorite sleeping spot.
Mind you, I have fleece beds, tunnels, fleece forests, and even a corner hammock, so they have plenty of places to nap and hide, yet 80% of the time I see them in the Lookout Lounge.
I have two adult, female guinea pigs and both fit comfortably with room to spare even while stretched out for a nap. They love resting their heads on the corners, when paired with the Lookout Lounge complimentary fleece set.
When they're being more active, they will run and race through the Lookout Lounge with glee. This is where the only downside might come in. Since there are no 'walls' like the rest of the cage, they often kick out their little poops through the gaps in the grates, so you may have to sweep up the floor around it.
I think they really like how they can see out while also being covered and feeling safe.
My family and I joking call it their "Bus Stop" because it looks like a couple of ladies waiting for a bus as they sit there.
Seeing as it's constantly in use and very sturdy---even when my 1 kg heavy girl is running through it---I give it 5 stars.

My girlies adore their lookout lounge, and it is now everyone's preferred hangout spot. Of course, that also means it's their preferred pooping zone :), and because the coroplast siding does not wrap around the short ends of the lookout lounge, I'm afraid the amount of droppings that end up on the floor is quite considerable! If the manufacturers made this one change, it would be the perfect product.

My piggies don't hang out in the lookout so much, but they LOVE IT for it's zoom-ability.
They previously didn't zoom very much through their last cage, so I thought it might be a good chill spot, but since I got this they've been more zoomie than ever in the best way possible.
