Just when you think you’ve seen all the cages and learned all there is on piggy homes, along comes Sarah and the cheeky herd to inform and entertain! There is certainly more choice than I thought and certainly some great options to get you started before plunging into some DIY! Fabulous video :) x

Can I just say all the things you have said to do with your piggies confidence has worked!❤❤❤

I have the Kaytee 12.5 sq ft habitat. My two female piggies love it. Lots of room to run around. It's a little wobbly, but I also got the top and that helps a lot. My piggies must be good girls, no damage to canvas bottom after a year.

A decent cage for people in the United States that wants a Ferplast cage is the Ferplast Krolik XXL Rabbit Cage w/Wire Extension. It comes out to just under 10.5 Square Feet. It is a pain in the butt to put together. But it is very sturdy. My two girls have plenty of room. Then that is one who has a very dominating personality and loves to run all around the cage. She has the nickname of Taz for Tazmanian devil for a reason.

Great video. A lot more choices than I thought. When I adopted two (not bonded) male guinea pigs from the local Humane Society, I set them up side by side in 2 Midwest cages. They've since bonded and I was able to attach the 2 cages lengthwise and removed the dividers - they now have a 2' x 10' enclosure and love to spend time together. Lots of room for 2 piggies, and it's easy to use fleece liners. Like you mentioned in the video, they are a bit flimsy, and I wouldn't trust them to protect the piggies against determined pets, but they work great for my set up.

Amazing video!! Love seeing all the options out there for Guinea pig cages. Thank you so much for putting pictures of my girls cage in at 4:13! I really do love C&C cages but it’s interesting to see other possibilities out there 💕

We have a Hamster Homes cage for our pair of pigs and absolutely love it. It's 2+ years old and is still looking almost new. I made custom waterproof fleece liners for it, thanks to your Squeak Dreams video guide!
The cage is great for cleaning and bonding with our boys, but sturdy enough to protect them from other visiting pets (we have the roof for those occasions). We can stick it in the back of the car when the pigs go to family members for their "holidays" when we're away. It's a well travelled cage 😆
We have the 150cm x 60cm version which is slightly under the 10.5ft square recommendation and ideally would have got the 180cm version, but alas we couldn't. The rescue we adopted from were happy with the cage and we make sure to give the boys lots of floor time, but they relax most in their cage. I bought a cheap secondhand desk which it sits on and all their hay, fleece and other belongings live in the drawers and space underneath. They live downstairs in a main room in the house, within squeaking distance of the fridge (and don't we know it!).
The cage was a lot of money, but as two adults getting our first pigs, we viewed it as long term investment. We considered DIY'ing but wanted proper timber and didn't trust our DIY skills to get a finish good enough for the pigs and for us to live with. 2+ years in I'm only happier with our choice!

I originally got the pre-designed kavee cage but songmics on amazon had the same size grids for over half the price so i've got a mix at the moment. I got two more piggies this past month so needed to extend and have 9x2 c&c for my boar and 2 sows now. They're still getting used to one another (bonding went so well after a few hours i could house them together). Having C&C made it easier to extend when I needed to honestly. Thanks for the video, it'll be a big help for new piggy owners :) I actually bumped into a small family getting their piggies recently at pets at home and told them to check out your channel.

4.17 Bandit and Splodge here. We are thrilled and honoured to have featured in your video, popcorning around in our DIY C&C cage! We continue to be happy little maniacs! Love to you and all the Piggies!! ❤❤

We have a Midwest change with a modified pet shop cage attached via a ramp. The hard bottom pet shop cage serves as our "kitchen" as it is easier to clean the bottom. We kept in the Midwest door gate so we can sometimes separate our 8 year old from her much younger cagemate who has excessive bursts of energy on occasion.

Thanks to these videos everyone can find a lot of ideas! It's great to have so much information! Thank you for your work!❤

[michelleschneider]

Oh my gosh...I never knew so many options, especially for one like myself who is diy challenged, lol! Being on a budget, I need to be a bit creative with my space, though allowing for proper space for my Harriet and Clemintime. Thank you Sarah as even challenged, I forge on and build what I can to make the best home for my piggies as I love to spoil them!

I bought B&Q furniture boards which come in convenient sizes for base and 3 sides and then ordered the plexi glass online paying extra to have them drill the holes for me so all I had to do were a few cuts to make the sides and then screw it all together, looks great and been using it for over a year with 3 happy piggies. I popped it on top of some spare kitchen cabinets I had in my shed so great storage underneath too. Your videos were very helpful in me deciding on how best to build the cage so thank you so much for all the wonderful information

Hi. I used to have the wire cube set-up. I had the largest picnic rugs and used them up-side down. Over time they got tatty and I had to replace them, which was a pain dismantling the cubes and wire ties. ( I've lost count how many ties I've gone through! 😂). About a month ago I bought a wooden shelving unit for £42 ! I joined the wood together with the dowels and laid pond liner and taped it to the edges of the wood (only an inch high) so it doesn't show above the bottom liner and the guinea dad fleece. Oh my goodness I should have done this way back! It's an absolute dream to clean! My girls Love it! 😊. They have a part-covered 'hay barn' they can sleep, eat and burrow. They do have a round hay rack, though, which, I feel is essential. I have no option but to have my piggies home on the floor and the wood helps keep any draughts at bay. It's so much more stream-lined and stylish! 😂, oh and it's very sturdy too 💪. Great content as always. Love your Piggies! 😍
BTW. Its 8 feet long and 3 feet deep. I have 3 female piggies.
(One called Phoebe ! 😂)

The piggies are so cute! This was a very good video with lots of information. We have the Midwest cage for our single piggy with no top or "roof" which makes it easier to feed and clean. It is not possible for her to nibble on the Velcro straps since they are not accessible to her because they are on the outside of the canvas bottom that attaches to the lower wires of the cage.

🎉 I got excited seeing my Midwest cage got shown 😁

Thank you for another wonderful video. I had a diy c&c cage for my boys. It was 170x70cm with a mezzanine floor.
