Disclaimer: The base of my cage is built with the bad grids. The top part is built using the good (9 across grids).
Someone please help me. Most of you know that I have had a 2x4 C&C for a while now and before we moved it was on a one grid high base. When we moved, I put the pigs on the floor. I bought some bad grids at target tonight because I was impatient and wanted to build a 2 grid high base. Well, I hate these grids! The wires are thick and they do not fit into the connectors properly. Instead of using pliers, I just went with it. I used some connectors and plain zip ties in other spots. Then I ziptied the whole damn thing hoping it would/could work.
This is where everything went wrong. Because I didn't have enough connectors, everything just didn't fit together properly. I am frustrated and I just can't see taking it all apart tonight so I am leaving it for now. I am so not happy with it. I guess I will order a bunch of connectors soon.
Here are some pictures of the misery I endured tonight. Uggg.
A mess
These clips are keeping the coro from bending inward and leaving a huge gap between it and the grids!
The only good things about tonight is this awesome "hay rack" I found at Target!
Patches told me...that I did good making the cage.
Would you say the hell with it and just leave it? Nahh, I gotta do it over. I can't handle it being messed up.
