How to build a Super Cavy Mansion!

Here I will show You the supplies I am using to build my Guinea Pig cages.

i was watching videos on YouTube about guinea pigs and cool cages the other day, and i came across a video of a 3 story mansion that someone built for their guinea pigs! and i decided to make one (actually two) for my guinea pigs!
 so i have gathered some supplies......



here is Esther and Xerxees' current cage, its 2'x3', (sorry its a bit dirty :) Carla and Delilah's cage is about the same size. so what I'm going to do is add 2 more levels on top of this cage (and C & D's cage)
                                       

this is a 2x3 rectangle of Coroplast or you might know it as correx my dad helped me score along the edges so i could fold them up, so the guinea pigs wouldn't flick any bedding out the edges. and as you can see it is a smooth solid bottom so the guinea pigs wont hurt their feet, as they would on wire floors.

this is a medal square normally used for shelving but it works great as edges for guinea pig cages. im not sure exactly how big it is but, its tall enough that they wont be able to climb over it, and they cant fit through the squares.

and finally cable ties, or you may know them as zip ties. these work great for holding the cage together and they are easy to attach :)

well thats all i have for today but i will be posting more pics soon about the perfect cage accessories for your guinea pig! thank you so much for reading! please feel free to comment, ask questions or request articles :) i will reply as soon as i can!
