[Gpdd] [CARE] Cavy Cages

[Jason T Nakao]

Aloha everyone, it's me again.

I'm planning on re-doing their cavy cage since there are going to be 
new additions to the family. Well, I wanted to find an alternative to 
using coroplast since there isn't anywhere around here that carries 
big sheets of coroplast. The biggest they have is 20" x 30". When I 
built the cage, I bought 4 of those and it cost me a little over $20. 
So, I had to tape them together and it was such a mess, plus I ALMOST 
measured it wrong, so that would've sucked really bad.
Anyway, I looked @ cavycages.com and checked out their alternatives 
which were basically wood, linoleum, plastic bins and glass walls. The 
glass and plastic bins were out of the question because they don't 
provide enough air. Linoleum is $$$...4 dollars for a sq. ft.! If 
anyone can help me out on this, even though you haven't tried it but 
have an idea...I'll try it and I'll let you know the outcome. 

Aloha!
Jason & Maria
Creampuff & Princess

Quick Update:
Princess is doing fine except for the barbering. I'll take her to the 
vet to check for mites as soon as the pups are born. I don't want to 
have her take medications while she's pregnant.
Creampuff took a spill today =(
Maria was holding him in our kitchen, then believe it or not, a bird 
flew into our kitchen window and the bang made him jump and he started 
to fall. Maria almost caught him, but instead just slowed him down. He 
then started to bleed! I got so worried, after I cleaned up the blood, 
I found where it was coming from, he bit his lip. I thought he broke 
his teeth or something, but they're fine. He's still a little shaken 
about the incident, but doing just peachy.
