Our family started out with 1 piggie in a Midwest cage and ended up with 3, so I scoured this site and the forum and decided to build my own C&C cage. I think it says a lot that, while there is a store here where you can buy complete cages, they also provide detailed instructions for making your own, along with information on all the places you can purchase your own components – they don’t care whether you buy from them or not, they care about the guinea pigs first. So, we built a C&C cage and all was well. We then decided to add a wide 2x2 loft, and since I already had leftover grids (ordered on Amazon) and leftover coro (purchased at Home Depot), I contacted Sue to see if I could just purchase a ramp and a special cut grid (for the recessed ramp). She was so helpful and quick to respond! In the end, we decided to just order the entire loft, including coro, grids, ramp, connectors, etc - deciding to using our leftover grids for future expansion of our cage. I placed my order on 3/26, it was shipped on 3/27, and I got it on 3/29 – 3 days after placing the order. You can’t ask for better turnaround than that! What I was most impressed with, however, was the QUALITY of the components. The first thing I noticed was that the connectors and grids are thicker and sturdier than the ones I ordered from Amazon (I can’t tell you how many connectors I snapped or how many grids I had to “unbend” or “square off” putting my cage together originally). The coroplast base material for the loft is much thicker, sturdier, more solid, and I feel like it’s going to last significantly longer than the coro I bought from Home Depot. I really wish I would have bought my original cage/materials here to begin with, but for sure all future materials purchases will be from the Cage Store! The whole overall experience was great!
I get confused pretty easily when I am embarking on a new adventure. I found this site through a rescue, overwhelmed myself with tons of other information, and ended up purchasing our dream cage from someone else! Sue was so wonderful and kind when she gently pointed out that I made this mistake. So I ordered other items, and I noticed that I haven't seen them 3 weeks later. I contacted Sue and she and I couldn't believe that it was already sent and gone! I never saw the almost 30 lbs box :-( Sue was incredible!!!! She not only reshipped my order but also triple checked with me on a daily basis to see if it has been delivered! When it came, the QUALITY of the the 9x9 grids is way better than the other grids I have. The ramp has been throughly thought out and constructed. Compared to the other ramp, this CCcages ramp is safe and amazing!! Thank you Sue for your kind heart and courtesy to a new cavy owner! I will tell everyone about you!!! Laurie
I have had my piggies and my C&C Cage for 5 months now and I love it. I have two cavies in a 2X6 cage. Its been wonderful. Thought I had two females but :-U one is now pregnant. I had to split them up and get ready for babies so I just bought a 2X2 loft and 2 more grids to cut the 2X6 cage is half. Im excited to see what it will look like. Thanks so much for all the information on the site and from all those that are part of the forum (www.guineapigcages.com).
My piggy's love this they run up and down the ramp all the time with more pop-corning then I've ever seen in a standard cage love the cage and the product making it incredibly easy to clean that id recommend it to other owners
My 2 girl guinea pigs love their loft!! They actually seem to use it like a bedroom as they sleep in it at night. Great purchase as I didn't have the space to build out so I built up!! Always great CS and shipping is super fast.
