Ok, just a quick question (didn't want to make a whole new topic).
When you talk about 2x5 cages, do you mean 30 inches x 62 inches? ( = 76 cm x 157 cm?)

By 2X5 we mean a cubes and coroplast cage with the sides of 2 grids by 5 grids. A grid is 14 and a half inches, which would make a 2X5 cage: 29 inches by 72.5 inches (73.66 cm X 184.15 cm).

Okies, thanks! Then I guess my cage isn't as bad as I first thought. It's a petstore-cage, 60 x 120 cm for two piggies, and I'm working on building some sort of "playground" (for lack of a better word...having English as a second language is a good excuse), which will at least double their space, hopefully more. I wish I could build a c&c-cage, but I can't find the materials in Norway. Importing it from USA or UK would be more than expensive...

My grids aren't coated. They are from Target, but they are silver/metal with no coating on them. That ok?

They're actually chrome (or most likely fake chrome and thus coated thinly with "something"). If the spacing is proper, the grids are fine.

Thanks rshevin.... not sure why the word chrome didn't come to mind. That is exactly what the darn box said when I purchased them. My mind is mush because of a 7 year old and piggies!

GAH! The only place I can find these now is Walmart online and they are 24.88 a box. I have 2 adopters that want me to get the grids for them for a 2x4 cage with bases. No, make that 3 adopters! Anyone have any leads on black grids for less than Walmart?

I wish I had a feesable way to send you all grids. I have hundreds of the damn things in storage.

STF, last I looked I think my Target still had a few boxes of old style black grids. I'll look and I may be able to send them on with Marsha to the pignic if she comes through Birmingham (she may not).

Is there a way you can use shelving unit cut to size instead ? You may be able to find that more readily.
