Recently I reconfigured my guinea pigs cage and needed to get new coroplast because the shape was going to be different. I went to the hardware store and when I found the right aisle, I saw a bunch of yard signs on close out. What once were large yard signs for $12.99 each are now the coroplast for my new cage. I got them for FORTY CENTS EACH! (And Herman and Harriet don't mind their cage says "Drive like your kids live here" around the edges. ) :D
Julie Minot you should make it a theme with little car fleece beds and stuff, that would be so funny! like a hidey house with a little car in the driveway
Yesterday we had to bring one of my piggies on a emergency vet visit because she got pneumonia and wasnt eating her veggies and was very inactive but she got her medicine and is starting her way to recovery! Wish me and my piggy luck! 💕
Hi Scott, off topic but I wanted to share some happy news. My husband and myself love animals and we suddenly were faced with a single male guinea pig "Stout" that needed a home. He is a gorgeous silky teddybear. We also are gearing up for a big move to Fl. Our research and just knowing animals gave us a heavy heart him being alone. Funny that we found you a few days ago and watched several of your posts, bonding guinea pigs were a great interest tho we had planned on trying to find him a friend after the move. Two days ago I ran into a lady, wierd, my whole life no guinea pig exposure and I get a rescue then this lady with a few males that need a home. We took the leap and brought "Hops" home. We scurried and set up a neutral space for introduction, had treats and a towel ready, and cleaned the new home really well. It went SO well. Thanks so much, I think, haha, now I have 2 to move 600 miles ❤
That is fantastic Tammy! You took a risk but it paid off. We will be here for you and the boys if you have any questions. You can search my videos and playlists.
This man is so knowledgeable. I want to build a cage for my two young guineas. The cage I got is nowhere near big enough as they grow so I have a play pen they run around in all day and they just go in their cage at night. We have been planning on building our own and all the diy setups I’ve seen need wood and power tools. I can’t do that lol. Also he is super easy on the eyes and when he kisses their heads oh my goodness. 😍
You can save them people ask for them at the Los Angeles Guinea Pig Rescue and I do understand that some people use the connectors to make cubes for storage
the connector are pretty but are not structually sound (like a load bearing poster) :) This was great. A lot of people freak out when it comes to the coroplast and mapping it out. My first one was a disaster, had to recut. Did not allow for folds. Doh.
Recently got a pair of sweet ladies, and my friend who already had a piggy got a companion for hers. Your videos are a life saver, ive learned so much and my little Piggies are much happier for it! ❤🧡💛💚💙💜
I haven’t owned a pig in many...MANY years, and have no plans to get one. Yet here I am at 3am armed with the knowledge to build one a great home and no idea how I got here. Thanks! This was interesting!
ehhhhh I love the connectors + zip ties. especially since I have storage under the cage. But I also dont move the cage around often so they dont come undone. I also travel home once a month and the connectors are easy to use to make a temporary cage for a weekend.
This was... I don't know if you realize how helpful the videos you and the rest of the LA rescue crew really are! I foolishly bought a very pretty cage at a pet shop only to realize I'm a dummy and it was wayyy smaller than my piggies need! I now have created a solid 15 square foot c&c for my girls based on this video. Ty Scotty!
@@elijahfluw4347 😆❤️ a sacrifice for love is beautiful. Lol and you misunderstand me. 15 square! Feet. So it's a fivegrid by three grid. Lol be confident. You have a 18 square! Ft cage. So... Like... If ur grids are 12 inches tall and wide... Which some are. Some are 14 inches. .. that's one square foot per grid. Lay them on the floor of the cage. There would be fifteen in mine. And 18 in it's. You see? 😊
My 3 boys have a 2x4 cage with the grids they are zip ties together, and are so spoiled! I got to get 2 more water bottled and more chews and houses tho! Happy I change there cage : ) if any ones wondering there names are prince, nugget and Oreo
The only thing I missed was how to best cut the holes in the coroplast walls to put the zip ties through. I’m guessing an exacto blade would work! 😊 I’m about to cut my board- we zip tied the wires together last night! This morning I’ll buy fleece and the absorption layer to make the bedding and then I will be ready to bring our new piggy a rescued friend! Thank you, Scottie, for all your help!
i’m getting piggies and this is the best video i’ve seen on a c&c cage by far! love your channel! it’s so so helpful and informative. it gives me all the information i need. thank you!💖
Upgrading my girls to one of these today! I cannot wait to see/feel the reward of them running in a bigger space. Thanks for being so clear & calm. Great for listening 😊
Yes! I tell people all the time to throw their connectors away and just use zip ties! Not only for the reasons you state, but they are knuckle busters!
I recently made a huge new cage for my 3 girls and this is exactly how i did it and they love it. today is there first cage cleaning with the new cage so that should be fun :)
Really great video. Thanks! I've been debating getting rid of the connectors for a while now. So frustrated with them. You've finally convinced me to go for it. 🐹❤
Honestly I’ve been watching your videos for maybe 6 hours or so and they are very informative I’m rescuing two male guineas from a neighbor that doesn’t seem interested. You got my subscription I will check back frequently for more tips and tricks to giving these guys the best life they can get! Thanks Scotty you’re the best!
@@ScottysAnimals actually stopping by the sanctuary on friday to get a checkup and nail trim for my two boys, they've assimilated well and are responding to me when i go in the room. had i known guineas were so fun i would have gotten them earlier! see you Friday haha
I've just ordered all the things to do a C&C cage and I am SO EXCITED for my piggies to get their new home 🤩😂 Thanks for this, lots of great tips for novices like me! Been wanting to do a C&C cage for about 6/7 years now and I finally took the plunge 😂
Thank you so much for this. I bought a two story rabbit hutch for my single boy a year ago so he would have room to bond with a buddy. They bonded and have been together almost a year now. The hutch had no bottom so I used chloroplast to make a bottom. Now I am making a new bottom the right way. I’m also going to make a cage like yours, but with a cover, for an alternate cage for when I am home and can keep them safe. Though I’m not sure where I will put it yet. I have dogs that would eat my piggies, so the hutch is safer when no one’s home. Plus the hutch fits in a room that provides more people contact with the piggies. The dogs can also visit them safely. My piggies love the dogs, they just wouldn’t be safe together in the less secure C & C cage.
I only use a few for stability, and i use oven gloves,( mine even have fingers!) to press them in or remove them. Much kinder to hands and fingers! The gloves are old one's I keep for connectors! 😂 NOT for taking the roast potatoes out!! 😂
My guineas live in a decent sized rabbit cage, but I ordered my grids yesterday there coming in today, can’t wait for my guineas to live in a cage they deserve...my Guineas say thanks Scotty!
Best building video I found wish I would have found it before I built the current cage :( but when it’s time to remodel we are going to do your step by step Thank You!
Thanks for this video. This helped alot. I have a Midwest cage for my guinea piggie drake but I want to go bigger and this was perfect. Going to get the supplies this weekend with my son 😁
Husband made the cage for our guinea pig (Bacon) noticed homedepot had colorplast sheets. Inside the cage 54x38 so husband having to make hand made one. Sure it would been cheaper to buy a cc cage. The main problem we have was that wouldn't be sturdy enough if our pit/lab mix would hit the cage accidentally doing her zoomies (chaotic already) would definitely collapsed. Cats (ones a chunk) that nosy or like lay on stuff. This way both be safe doing their zoomies. Think the animals more spoilt than us humans. Thanks for showing us how to figure out how use it.
well explained, quick and simple! I will be moving soon and totally showing this to my fiance so he can build the cage n have it ready when the piggies and I arrive!
I finally made my Striper and Junior a C&C cage. The grids were 12x12 though. Couldn't find the 14x14 ones locally, and didn't want to wait around for Amazon shipping. At the moment, they have a 24x48 inch cage and they are just loving the hell out of it. They are really loving being able to see exactly what is going on around them now.
I want to thank you for your advice. After watching you and Saschka, I realized my boy's cages were way too small, and I didn't know about the boy's bottom pouch. I cleaned my boys up and just built them each a cage, using your video! They used to be bonded, but now they fight. I think space was the issue. I'm too afraid to put them back together. I'm in Ohio. It cost me $160 to build two cages and get the table. Thank you!
Thanks Scotty! I love watching your videos. Even when I think I know everything there is to know about the topic I ALWAYS learn something new! Oh btw Everyone loves my Scottys Animals T-Shirt and so do I. 💖
My C&C cage has been working for three years now with absolutely no problems and I use the corner clips and zip ties !!! You seem to be over thinking it 🤔
Hi Scotty I was told that pine shavings is NOT good for piggies and that ASPEN is a better wood choice by my vet. Thoughts on this, I also am using fleece liners on another cage from Guinea Pig Dad. So much easier for cleaning. Love your setups.
I used to have a cage like this until my guinea pigs got on top of their houses and chewed the coroplast sides and when I realized the missing coropast was inside my pigs, I dismantled my cage. I think I will try to make the sides higher.
If you want a more permanent connector or your piggie thinks zip ties are a delicious snack - panel rings! You need a special plier to attach easily, but when your pig *side eyes mine* go through zip ties like a dremel, the rings stop them.
Awesome video! Do you have a video or can you make a video on how to get piggies to like veggies? I just recently got two sweet girls but haven t had any luck getting them to eat anything other than pellets and hay.
I went on the internet and checked out all of the Big Box home improvement stores. Hands down, Home Depot is the best place. Their 4’x8’ coroplast or corrugated plastic sheets are $22.00 and some change. If you spend over $49.00, they will deliver the next day. Scotty, thank you so much for the video on making the cages. I was buying smaller size sheet of the plastic and having to tape. The cages just don’t last. The tape gets wet and the cage starts leaking. Home Depot’s corrugated plastic is white, however, with the sheets being so big, the only place to tape are the corners.. And they sell White Heavy Duty Duct Tape- so home run! Score!,,,, You are a wealth of information and I love your videos and your Piggies. Keep the videos coming. You are a National Treasure. Isn’t it wonderful that we can meet people from all over the US and the World. Watching videos about Guinea Pigs sure keeps me in a good place mentally. The News seems to have 24 hours of “Breaking News” round the clock and while necessary is a real Debbie Downer. Love all you Piggy People 🥰💗🐹 One more question Scotty- are your grids powder coated or do they have a plastic coating? I have a couple of chewers and I found the powder coated grids-14”, with 1” squares, for 92 cents per grid, which I think is reasonable. Has anyone found the grids for cheaper? Thanks Scotty. How did you get involved with Guinea Pigs? I’m 68yrs. old and I think they are the perfect pet for Disabled Senior Citizens, of which I am one. I’m all cripples up with Rheumatoid Arthritis. So Piggy’s are do-able for me 😇 Blessings, Nancy
Recently I reconfigured my guinea pigs cage and needed to get new coroplast because the shape was going to be different. I went to the hardware store and when I found the right aisle, I saw a bunch of yard signs on close out. What once were large yard signs for $12.99 each are now the coroplast for my new cage. I got them for FORTY CENTS EACH! (And Herman and Harriet don't mind their cage says "Drive like your kids live here" around the edges. ) :D
Julie Minot you should make it a theme with little car fleece beds and stuff, that would be so funny! like a hidey house with a little car in the driveway
Omg that’s the best thing I’ve ever heard! 😂
That is sooo funny!
Awesome! Cute names!!!
this is genius omg
I wish knew this back when I had my 2 boys if so they would be way happier
@Dennis Koda aaaaaaa this is from 2 years ago lol ..... I say thanks ^^;
I used the connectors at first and first couple times I redid cages I realized they were heck to take apart. Just were a pain all around.
Those connectors are a pain in my grease gland! Or should I have said anal pouch LOL!
Scotty's Animals omg hahahahaha
Yesterday we had to bring one of my piggies on a emergency vet visit because she got pneumonia and wasnt eating her veggies and was very inactive but she got her medicine and is starting her way to recovery! Wish me and my piggy luck! 💕

You are great, I really like all the points you made. Thanks
That's great. I've bought my panels so nearly ready to go. Corroplast to order now xx
Thanks , I will sure that kind of bedding. MR
Thanks for posting this!! Very helpful! My 6 piggies will enjoy this :)
Sir you are a real geunie pig lover #Love From India#
Cool hook up, thanks 👍
juz to highlight, the reason ur cage not stable enough in ur starting video(the one bfore rebuild) bcuz ur not put the grid as a base.
Wow this video helped me out a lot!
Very helpful video! I am considering building one of these cages for my two baby pigs, but It would need a top because we have a curious cat.
Great vid scotty

Thank u Scotty I'm thinking about buying a c and c cage
You can get the grids at organizing and home stores and you can get the coroplast at a hardware store

... I have those panels. Sweet I just need the base and zip ties for my (eventual) cage. I'd have to check on the size I can do tho
I am going to make a c&c cage for my two guinea pigs Oakley and Oribt
Thanks it helped!
Thank you. Where can I get that large size of the plastic corrugated lining.
This inspired me to build this cage for my 2 boy piggies but i’m having a hard time finding the coroplast sheets big enough to cover the whole bottom
I used to have a cage like this until my guinea pigs got on top of their houses and chewed the coroplast sides and when I realized the missing coropast was inside my pigs, I dismantled my cage. I think I will try to make the sides higher.

Wish I saw this before I made my 2x4 up with those damn clip things, going to just get rid of them now as they do nothing and just stick to cable ties

Do you have a video or can you make a video on how to get piggies to like veggies? I just recently got two sweet girls but haven t had any luck getting them to eat anything other than pellets and hay.
8:17 Snoopy be chilling though
We have a Snoop too
Yes Scott!💕
You don't need to put grids on the bottom under the coral plastic
That's right
Not if you zip tie the corollary to the grids
Where can I buy the chloroplast board?
Where did you get the coroplast everywhere I look is so expensive
Same!! Anyone got any tips?
Home Depot
I went on the internet and checked out all of the Big Box home improvement stores. Hands down, Home Depot is the best place. Their 4’x8’ coroplast or corrugated plastic sheets are $22.00 and some change. If you spend over $49.00, they will deliver the next day. Scotty, thank you so much for the video on making the cages. I was buying smaller size sheet of the plastic and having to tape. The cages just don’t last. The tape gets wet and the cage starts leaking.
