I really  don't understand how a bunch of cubes snapped together makes the  
cage. 
When you buy the panels, you get clips to fasten the pieces together.   I 
found these very frustrating to use and we just used plastic cable ties (or  you 
might call them zip ties).  They are sold in all hardware stores.
 

If they  are cubes, where is the open area for the pigs to run in?  
They are called cubes because their original use was for inexpensive  storage 
but some clever piggie person figured out a way to build them into  cages.
 

Also,  what makes the tray to put the bedding in?  Do you have to buy a pan 
or  
something?  
The tray is the toughest part.  One of my friend uses a tray designed  to 
hold air conditioners but we found that very difficult to locate.  We  built a 
tray using some sort of material designed for showers as a water  barrier.  I am 
not that clever and would recommend consulting the cage  website for advice 
on building a tray.
 

Also,  are these cubes plastic or metal?  
These cubes have some sort of plastic coating over light metal.
 

One last  thing... it says that a 2 x 4 cube cage makes an area of 
approximately 29" x  56" or 
something like that.  It mentions grids in there and I think  it says there 
are like 23 grids.  What exactly are they referring to  as a grid?  I really 
hate to come across as stupid but not being able  to see these pics is a 
definite hindrance here.
 
The grids are combined to formed cubes.

"It doesn't matter what the  kids say. Rabbits are not disposable like a box 
of cereal or a Disney video.  They WILL get tired of the rabbits and go on to 
the next toy. YOU will have to  deal with the consequences. Unfortunately, 
most people deal with the situation  by DUMPING their rabbits on someone else. 
Ultimately, it is the bunny that pays  for your inability to say NO."
