Do you have a question about our C&C cages and accessories for rabbits and guinea pigs? Take a look at our questions below and our blog to find answers!
Cages
Can I buy cage parts separately?
Yes! Grids, panels, connectors, and coroplast bases are sold individually here, so you can expand or customise your setup.
Can I use your cages for baby guinea pigs?
Yes! Our cages feature extra-thin meshing with small holes, safe for guinea pigs over 8 weeks old. Supervise young pigs initially to ensure they can move safely.
Do I need a lid or a stand for my cage?
A stand makes cleaning easier, protects guinea pigs from draughts, provides extra storage, and improves bonding during playtime. A lid keeps your guinea pigs safely inside and other pets out but should not bear weight. Always supervise children near the cage and keep other pets separate.
Do you make cages for rabbits or other pets?
Our cages are designed specifically for guinea pigs. While we don't currently offer dedicated rabbit cages, many customers use our cage parts to build taller, bunny-friendly setups. If you do this, we recommend using nibble guards to help protect the coroplast base edges, as rabbits tend to chew more than guinea pigs. Feel free to reach out to our customer service team if need any help choosing the right cage parts.
Do you make custom cages or cage parts?
We don't currently offer custom-made cages or cage parts. However, our modular C&C system allows you to create and customise a setup that suits your space and your piggies' needs. If you're unsure how many parts you'll need or would like some guidance, feel free to contact our customer service team.
How do I assemble my cage?
You can download our assembly instructions manual here for a quick step-by-step guide. For a more detailed walkthrough, check out our YouTube channel here, where we have video tutorials for most of our cages.
How do I clean my cage?
Place your guinea pigs in a safe area, then remove all toys, hay, bowls, and bedding from the cage. Spot clean daily by shaking or vacuuming droppings and loose hay, and replacing any wet fleece liners and pee pads.
For a weekly deep clean, wipe the coroplast base and accessories using a pet-safe cleaner or a natural mix of half water and half white vinegar, then add a fresh fleece liner and refill with clean hay, food, and water. Avoid harsh chemicals like bleach or ammonia, as guinea pigs are sensitive to strong products.
We've also got plenty of cleaning instructions and hacks on our blog, as well as step-by-step video guides to help you achieve a wheek-y clean cage.
My cage feels unstable or wobbly – what should I do?
Please make sure your cage is assembled correctly: the grids should be fully clicked into the connectors, the coroplast properly folded with nothing pressing against the grids, and the cage placed on a stable, level surface. You can follow our assembly instructions or one of our video tutorials for guidance.
If you're still experiencing issues, contact us with pictures of the full cage and any specific parts causing problems, and we'll be happy to assist further.
My guinea pig is chewing the coroplast base – is it safe?
Yes! Coroplast is non-toxic and safe for guinea pigs. Chewing is normal and usually due to curiosity or boredom. We recommend using nibble guards to protect the base and reduce chewing.
What is the size of your grids?
Each grid and acrylic panel measures 35 x 35 cm (13.8 x 13.8 inches). Wire mesh spacing is approximately 2.4 cm, and acrylic panels are 0.3 cm thick.
Which cage size should I choose for my guinea pigs?
For cage sizing guidance, see more details here. As a general rule:
- 4x2 for up to 2 guinea pigs
- 5x2 for up to 3 guinea pigs
- 6x2 for up to 4 guinea pigs
This ensures your guinea pigs have enough space to move, play, and stay healthy.
Why choose a C&C cage over a standard cage?
Unlike standard cages, C&C cages are spacious enough for your guinea pigs to move freely and popcorn comfortably, making them happier and healthier. They are designed to be easy to clean, adaptable to different layouts, and fully customisable with accessories and panels. Their modular design also makes them simple to transport.
Fleece liners
Are all fleece liners the same?
All our standard liners are made from polyester fleece, but some of our collections have different finishes, such as a softer plush feel. Our Pocket liners also include a hidey pocket, bamboo blend filling, and a waterproof bottom layer for added durability.
Do I need to wash fleece liners before first use?
Yes, we recommend "wicking" your liners by washing them once or twice before first use to fully activate their absorption properties.
Do you make custom-sized fleece liners?
Unfortunately, we do not offer custom-sized fleece liners. Our liners are currently available in sizes 3x2, 4x2, 5x2, and Loft only.
How do I wash fleece liners?
Spot clean daily by removing hay and droppings. Wash liners every 3 to 4 days at 30°C using a small amount of pet-safe detergent. Avoid fabric conditioner as it can reduce absorption. Air drying is recommended. Using a laundry bag can help protect your washing machine from hay and debris.
You can find more information about taking care of your fleece liners here.
How do I use fleece liners?
Fleece liners are designed as an alternative to traditional bedding such as wood shavings. Simply place the liner in your cage to absorb moisture and keep your guinea pigs comfortable.
We recommend “wicking” the liner before first use by washing it once or twice. You can also use extra pee pads in high-traffic areas to extend time between washes.
For more information about our fleece liners, feel free to read our blog here.
How long do fleece liners last?
With proper care, fleece liners can last for years. They're a great sustainable alternative to traditional bedding and can help you save money over time.
My fleece liners are not absorbing. What should I do?
If your liners are new, wash them once or twice to activate absorption. If absorption decreases over time, try washing them again using less detergent, as excess detergent can reduce performance.
What sizes do fleece liners come in? Do you make 6x2 liners?
Our fleece liners are available in 3x2, 4x2, 5x2, and Loft sizes. We do not make 6x2 liners, as they can become too heavy for standard washing machines. For 6x2 cages, we recommend using two 3x2 liners.
You can find more information about sizing on each product's page here.
