Cfoster, do the piggies mind the noise of the tv? I've often thought of lifting mine off the ground, but the only area available would put them right next to the tv.

If they're ok with the noise, that helps my decision!

There is another level at the bottom not shown, it will be my storage level

Still has to be painted, the ramps fixed up, then perspex put on the front and the open side and done!

Give me your honest opinions guys :) Not much I can change now, but I still would like to hear

It looks pretty cool. Have you figured out what kind of bedding your going to use?

Are you using perspex or linoleum or something under the shavings? I think you probably really want to -- even treated wood will get distorted and gross with pig pee on it.

I think my Mother has some kind of plastic stuff she is putting down to keep it dry :)

pimpinpuji...they don't seem to mind the noise of the TV. Once in awhile if there is a loud noise, like a slam of a door or something, they will all scatter but that is what they do when my dogs bark or someone sneezes as well. :)

"I think my Mother has some kind of plastic stuff she is putting down to keep it dry :) "

GPT, your cage looks very interesting. Your dad is very talented at building things!

What kind of plastic stuff will your mother be putting underneath the shavings? Soft filmy plastic, such as plastic bags or the kind of plastic used for puppy pads and incontinence pads, are not safe for guinea pigs to chew and ingest.

Yeah I have to ask her, it's like a tough plastic, they won't be able to chew on it for sure, they won't be able to get at any corners :)

Oh and thanks :) We had to improvise because C&Cs here are over €100

I can't wait to see it! I'm so happy that you were determined enough to come up with a suitable, alternative, and cheaper cage to make! Your guinea pigs will appreciate it so much!

I just have a quick question.
How do you make sure your lower cage (in a stacked cage) gets enough light?
