Why a C&C® guinea pig cage with loft?

Guinea pigs are active animals that love to move around, explore, and use different areas. With a C&C® guinea pig cage with a loft, you can easily create:

• A separate dining or rest area
• Additional enrichment without losing floor space
• More variety in the stay

Important: The loft is an addition, not a replacement, for floor space. Therefore, the main enclosure remains entirely at floor level, just as guinea pigs need it.

LICG advice & space requirements for guinea pigs

Sufficient living space is essential for the well-being of guinea pigs. The LICG (National Information Center for Companion Animals) recommends the following minimum floor area (contiguous space):

• 2 guinea pigs: minimum 0.9 m²
• 3 guinea pigs: minimum 1.2 m²
• 4 guinea pigs: minimum 1.5 m²

This C&C® Cage 4x2 has a floor area of approx. 1.09 m² (145 × 75 cm).

✔ Suitable for 2 guinea pigs as main residence
For three or more guinea pigs , we recommend adding additional C&C® panels to comply with LICG guidelines and ensure your guinea pigs have plenty of room to move around.

Expanding this C&C® cage for (dwarf) rabbits – what is possible and what is not

This C&C® Cage 4x2 (145 × 75 cm) is essentially designed as a full-fledged guinea pig enclosure. However, (dwarf) rabbits require more floor space to comfortably move, run, and stretch out. Thanks to the modular C&C® system, this cage can be expanded, provided it is done properly.

When is this cage suitable for rabbits?

• Without extension: Suitable as a play pen or temporary run, not as a permanent residence.
• With sufficient extension: Suitable as a spacious rabbit run or living space, possibly in combination with another accommodation.

Expand with additional C&C® panels
The C&C® panels have a fixed size of 35 x 35 cm and are securely connected with connectors at each corner. Adding additional panels lengthwise and/or widthwise increases the cage's floor space.

This can be completely flat, at floor level – exactly what rabbits need.

What is Coroplast and why is it used in C&C® cages?

Coroplast is a ribbed polypropylene plastic used worldwide in C&C® cages because of its practical properties:

• Waterproof
• Lightweight
• Hygienic
• Easy to clean
• Foldable with raised edges

This keeps hay, bedding and droppings neatly inside the guinea pig cage.

Note: Coroplast is not gnaw-resistant. The material is non-toxic, but gnawing should be discouraged.

Gnawing on the Coroplast base tray – how to deal with it

Some guinea pigs chew on the bottom tray out of curiosity. This is usually harmless, but can cause damage.

Our tips:

• Provide plenty of gnawing material (willow branches, wooden toys)
• Provide distractions such as hay balls and sniffing mats
• Calmly redirect unwanted gnawing behavior
• If necessary, protect the edges of the bottom tray

Which animals is this C&C® cage suitable for?

Do guinea pigs gnaw on the Coroplast base tray, is that a problem?

Guinea pigs naturally like to chew, and sometimes they'll even try it on the Coroplast litter tray. Fortunately, this isn't dangerous or poisonous, but it is a waste of litter. When the chewing is out of curiosity, it often stops on its own. However, if the behavior persists, it can lead to damage to the litter tray. In that case, it's considered problem behavior, and it's important to prevent and break it.

What can you do?

• Provide plenty of gnawing material , such as willow branches, hay rolls or wooden toys.
• Provide distraction with snuffle mats , hay balls or food balls.
• Distract your guinea pigs if you see them chewing on the bottom tray. A short command like "no" or "shame" can help, followed by a safe alternative.
• If necessary, protect the edges of the Coroplast with a strip or temporarily place something in front of them.

In short: gnawing on the Coroplast should be discouraged to prevent damage.
