Small animal cages - dunno where else to post

Missmalfoy23

Hello

This is my first post and since I have been looking at all really good stuff on here I thought this might be the place to help me out.

I'm trying to get a decent sized indoor cage for a guinea pig. My local pet shops are charging £40+ for what is basically a bit of plastic and metal. Does anyone know where I could get a better deal on a cage?

Thanks!

Nile

Guniea Pigs are not good at climbing and most cages are too small so why not get 2 large plastic boxes such as are available from Wilkinsons or Homebargains for a few pounds, join the two together with a 3 or 4 bolts, cut a hole in each so they can it can run through and put a small wooden nest box in one of them. You could put some chicken mesh over the top if you have cats or dogs !

Thanks for the tip! I have actually managed to find a cage on ebay for £5 (rrp £40 :j ) and it is pick up so I don't even have to pay for the postage!
