These are also referred to as "BabySafe" grids due to the hole size. All of our grids are safe to be used with guinea pigs, however the standard 9*9 grids do run a minor risk of baby guinea pigs getting their heads stuck. Although this is very rare we also supply these 22*3 narrow holed grids to ensure there is no risk at all. These are the narrowest grids available and are even safer then other "baby safe" grids.
1. Unfold the correx base. Using the velcro affix the corners into place. Done!
2. Unpack the grids and connectors. Click each grid into a connector top and bottom (OK they can be a little stiff). Repeat, building the cage around the base, until the cage is complete.
3. Use cable ties to secure the grids. Not essential but a nice added security measure.
Finished! See, simple!
Extra Tip 1: The correx is designed to be a tight and secure fit with our grids. Therefore it will sit on the edges of the connectors. If you find that your grids don't reach all the way around, simply lift the correx on top of the bottom level of connectors or adjust the space in between each grid.
***Other small animals - these may require "baby proofing" or our smaller sized grids. If your pet can squeeze through that you will need to baby proof. If your pet climbs you will require and additional lid. Please use your own experience with your pet to judge if this enclosure is suitable or what required additions you may need.
This guide is to highlight the minimum requirements needed depending on the amount and gender of the guinea pigs. Boars always require more space due to their slightly more territorial behaviour. Although more than 2 boars are shown in the table below ideally never have more than 2 unless you are highly experienced with keeping guinea pigs. This is due to the higher chance of incompatible matches and fighting.

We know that correx can be quite plain to look at, and even though big piles of hay are nice for guinea pigs it's not so exciting for the owners. With this in mind we recommend the addition of fabulous and colourful fleece liners and accessories such as hides, hammocks, tunnels and snuggle sacks. Go take a look on CandE Cosies Small Animal Accessories and fall in love with some gorgeous items.
We are a small family business located in the South West of England. 100% of our stock and business is located in the UK. This means that when you order from us it will be dispatched from a UK address. Additionally, should you require to return anything then it will also be to a UK address.
Grid Imperfections - we import a large number of grids and so they may have some imperfections on the outer coating due to the nature of producing the grids. All grids supplied by Cage Creations are brand new from our trusted manufacturer.
Baby Guinea pigs and small rodents: Guinea pigs under 6 months of age or small sized mice and rats do require all cages to be baby proofed by adding extra grids around the sides or using our specially made baby proof grids.
Chewing and Destructive Pets - If you find your pets are excessively chewing and being destructive then your pets may be bored. Consider providing them with more stimulation like toys and more time outside of their enclosure. Pets go stir crazy just like we do sometimes and can show this through destructive behaviour. If your pets are chewing the correx you can purchase nibble guards which slip over the exposed edges where they most likely chew.
I particularly ordered this cage due to the gaps being narrow for my new babies. I decided to put the gaps vertically so my water bottle could fit more easily, this did mean that the connectors were a bit tricky to fit - this may have been my fault for fitting them the wrong way! However as they can be changed I can easily move them around! There was loads of cable ties also.
The cages are amazing and I now have 4 very happy guinea pigs, though it would be helpful if emails were actually read..
Ordered the 4x2 base, along with the double zoomies loft for our two little guys. Package came pretty quickly, and was very well packaged. Within a couple of hours the little guys had moved in and where busy popcorning away like mad. A week later and they seem very happy in their new home. In fact, it's got harder to tempt them to come out for a cuddle since they moved in. Thanks very much.
Great product, excellent quality really fast delivery.. really easy to clean our piggies seem really happy in it. X
Piggies love it! Great cage, great price, super easy to put together and speedy delivery. Would definitely order from them again, thank you!
