Yes I did think about that, but everywhere I've been I didn't see any material like that...Do you maybe know where I can buy them ,like in a pet shop?And I visited that site.It is helpful!

Tajsy,

You don't need to go to a special store.  A lot of the big retail stores have the cubes, and you can go to a sign shop for the coroplast.  Here is an example of the cubes you can get.

Here is a video from youtube with an example of how to put them together

I wish I had the room for a C&C cage (cubes and coroplast)  Our piggies  would love it.  Instead, we try to give them some "floor time" every day.  

Hope this helps

We have a small room with a lot of stuff in it that I would eventually like to clear out and make room for a C&C cage.  It's in the middle of the house so the piggies would love it because we are always going back and forth through that room

Unfortunately, I think she will do that no matter what type of house she has.  Although, with that one being wood, it's probably inevitable that she will take a few nibbles

Many ppl saying that guinea pig must keep in pair or more if not they can be depress easily.
But i find Nicky are doing very good & cute by her own.
I think that house is just fine for her if she has enough outdoor time & enough companionship from you.

Study 1st. Work hard ya~

Nibble is good for guinea pig. As nibble can keep their teeth properly ground.
Because their back teeth will grow continually, piggies need to be constantly grazing and grinding to keep them a good length.
My piggies nibble a lot too, they like to nibble their wooden house as Nicky did~
I also buy them some tree branchs from pet store for them to do some teeth exercise

Nicky really does look like shes doing fine on her own.And she does have company from me lol!She isn't often in the cage either shes in the house running and giving me worries, shes outside eating grass and runing around.She is a happy fat lil piggy

Here are a few tips. Keep hay,pellets,and veggies at your house. Clean the cage a lot too. Make sure your guinea pig has enough water. Make sure too hold it too. It might like some chew things and toys. Hope this helps.
