DIY Guinea Pig C&C Cage | How to Build a C&C Cage!

[@StefieCentauri]

Thanks for all of the love on this video and our piggies over the years ♥️ Toot and Chub have now both passed over the rainbow bridge (Chub on November 20th 2020 and Toot on June 14th 2021). We never ended up changing the cage because it worked perfectly! I can’t bear taking down the cage yet so it’s going to stay for a little while longer ♥️

[@stephaniecooley4876]

How many CandC squares did you use for this???

[@stephaniecooley4876]

So sorry for your loss 🥺🥺

[@elyria649]

I’m very sorry for your loss💛 they were obviously very loved and lived their best life with you.

[@meganmichael7706]

I'm so sorry for your loss! I can't even imagine how I would feel if one of my babies passed away! One of my piggies got pregnant unexpectedly (free roaming in the apartment), and I was terrified that she would pass away bc she's a little over the age where they should be preggers (she's just under 1). Today she welcomed FOUR little ones into the world, and she's doing fine!

[@MelissaLTrimble]

I'm so sorry that your piggies have passed on. Ours are just over a year old and we are just over the moon for them. I'm about to start work on the much larger "crib" which is why I was so glad that I found your video. We have a 5x2 c&c cage w/a loft on a stand. We will be putting it on the floor this time. I was glad to see yours worked so well. Your babies really seemed to love it. They were very lucky to have you!

[@PhantomNugget]

She talks to her piggies like I talk to my dog. I love it.

[@yolanda4749]

[@BaconItRain247]

it actually helps make them happier

[@maythaslife2749]

Crazy kids i do that with my piggies 😂

[@oldsoulmodernworld5320]

I do too. Every time I'm in the room even if I'm not near them I just chat it up

[@lolajaneleonard8541]

I do the same

[@kadencemcclain4831]

Could you do a video of you cleaning their cage please, im thinking of building this kind of cage for my piggie but still debating.

[@StefieCentauri]

I definitely will do one soon!! :-D

[@Egirl210]

Kadence McClain please use fleece not bedding! It's not good for them!

[@fenb8726]

+Erika R. why

[@Egirl210]

Fen B it's really bad for their feet and their lungs. Small bits of wood, paper, or dust and held by a guinea pig may cause respiratory problems or bother it's sensitive eyes. It's also cheaper for fleece because you can wash it and re use it just make to get a piece of absorbent material sewn in between two pieces of fleece.

[@Egirl210]

[@maxinefederico9496]

I've had a guinea pig for 3 years now (Oreo). SHe'ss been living in the same boring cage all her life, and I don't really like it. It's small. So I showed this video to my dad, but he doesn't like the idea of making the cage. UGH. At times like these, I wish I was an adult so I could do what I wanted, like making a cage like this for Oreo, plus maybe getting another guinea pig. But once I move out, I'm building this.

[@zyryiah]

Maxine Federico Are you moving out soon? If not you could try the Midwest one my guinea pig (Ginger) loves it!

[@ecllu]

Do you only have one Guinea pig? Because that could be the reason Oreo is so depressed. Single guinea pig s can very easily get depression. If you can get another pig, in Switzerland it’s animal cruelty. Science you can’t build a bigger and better cage, a temporary fix to jazz up your cage is to maybe buy a new hidy or change the layout. Good Luck. 😊

[@kamranrana5124]

I have two guinea pigs, Oreo and S'mores.

[@thecookingnerd8384]

Maxine Federico ask him to buy an x pen and fleece

[@AdelaTomankova]

Same.. I want to make this, but my parents say it will just take up space and blablabla... No but seriously, I have two guinea pigs and their cage is really small. They don't even play, they just sleep and eat. I sometimes put them out on a blanket, however I have to supervise them all. the. time.

[@adjveam47]

THOSE GUINEA PIGS LOOK LIKE THE ONES MY CLASS HAD IN 3RD GRADE

[@StefieCentauri]

Because guinea pigs are adorable!! :-D

[@sydneymcgrath5212]

[@kimkartrashianstopmakingst9060]

lol you subconsciously want one. thats how it starts. i was on youtube watching guinea pig videos. and 3 years later here i am with four hairless guinea pigs

[@lakw4407]

Aww, I can't wait to get my piggies. Right now I'm getting their stuff but once that's done, I'll be welcoming them home.

[@samirapope5966]

[@abby7210]

Lakshmi Byru Cool! Did you get them yet?

[@superlush217]

Lilith Wayne same here but i have wait till the summer bc I'm not working right now and my parnets arent gonna spend 79 bucks on a big cage much less 20 on food and stuff I'm slowly stocking and researching:)

[@destineyshaw6479]

Why did this tickle me 😂😂

[@horseypassion7995]

I love this!! I am going to build it with my dad possibly when we're done with some house renovation. I currently have one super old piggy, her companion passed recently. She hasn't really accepted any other pigs, so we're letting her live alone for the rest of her life. She's 7 or 8! I want to continue owning pigs in the future, so it'll be nice to have a decent sized cage for that. The one I have recently I believe should be bigger, because I got it from a pet shop. I was about 6 when I got my pig, so I didn't do research sadly. I know better now, and I want my Patches to live out the rest of her life happier.

[@zyryiah]

[@alexisbello4382]

iiKalsey - you mean you want some piggies? 😁

[@sofiamang1418]

They are a lot of work but worth it.

[@Arlothed1no]

My friend and I have agreed on getting guinea pigs in college. I’m excited. I had a guinea pig before and I loved her and I love guinea pigs.

[@Emily-tt1pi]

Omg you're like one of the only youtubers ive seen thats very kind and talks about things very well so I can understand! Thank you so much!!!!

[@eliseneil3930]

My pigs have a huge outside hutch (I’m Australian). The hutch includes a run filled with bedding and a small dog house inside (which they love) and hammocks, pipes, hay racks. But what makes their pen ideal is that they have our entire backyard to graze grass on. It’s super great because you won’t need to feed them often and they get all their water from the grass. We have a large backyard and the fences aren’t completely blocked off and we have a side gate that has spaces they can easily fit through to escape however they have never tried to escape and we have 6 loyal female pigs. Once they all went to our neighbours and ate some carrots and strawberries they were growing in a small veggie patch but came back the next day. Having free run guinea pigs in my idea is the most ideal hutch as they have areas to run and graze.

[@guineacare2283]

[@mariyahd9569]

Ikrrrrr

[@nicolelindero8448]

THANK YOU FOR LINKING THE MATERIALS.

[@dianeo]

Thank you. Very helpful! I appreciate you pointing out the mistakes and what not to do. I just 'rescued' 2 guinea pigs that my nephews didn't want to care for anymore. It's been 30 years since I had my last guinea pig so I'm researching. Things have changed a lot since then!

[@mp5690]

Thanks for making this video! :) We're building one of these now. So much bigger and cheaper than store bought cages. Also, I can totally see myself putting tape and the zip tie clasps on the inside, so those were great tips. :)

[@jessmyzelf5912]

Very nice cage i love that you care enough about your pets to put effort into their accomodation i feel like alot of pet owners unfortunatly dont do the research and end up with a cage that is way to small i hope your video inspires people to make their own cages

[@erzascarlet9167]

Definitely going to try this method! Thanks for the diy tutorial

[@amelia-nq9cf]

I am so blessed that I get my piggie and to be part of this community

[@kitty1256x]

THE PETS ARE SO CUTE ITS MAKEING ME CRY😂IM IN LOVE😍

[@janadykstra7681]

This was super helpful! My family is getting guinea pigs in two weeks, but the cage we have for them is too small. This looks like a perfect solution that won’t cost a ton of time and resources! Thank you so much!

[@blossombuddies2875]

This is so cute! My parents probably won't let me but i really want some piggies- 4x4 (plus a little) isn't that big either and could easily just be put on top of my rabbits current pen.

[@StefieCentauri]

Thank you!! As long as you have the time and money to take care of them, it should be fine!! They are an absolute dream to have! :-D

[@blossombuddies2875]

Stefie Centauri i have the time and by august i should have the money to pay for them myself but my dad doesn't want any pets and already is super annoyed at my bunny. For now I play with my neighbors piggies (more like play with one and watch one be because one of them isn't very social) I've also been assessing how they live and helping them improve their care, I told the kids mom how muesli mixes are bad and she will most likely be getting Oxbow pellets and I recommended fleece too as they always had a hard time cleaning the cage which caused them to not clean it very often. They will also be getting hay soon which for some reason they didn't have.

[@DanielleT77]

I have a c and c cage too and use the fleece bedding--- and have 8 yrs (my guinea pig is 8yrs old-- yes that's old). We put thick cotton bathroom towels under our fleece. Works great, as I can launder it all. The puppy pads are a good idea too!

[@muffinzzz5787]

Hey! I followed your tips and also made a c and c cage. My 2 piggies absolutely LOVE it! Thanks for your advice 💞 P.s. I subscribed :D

[@ryleelu]

For anyone who is debating whether or not to build a c&c cage. DO IT!!! I built one for my guinea pig and he has been so much more lively and sooooo much more HAPPY 😆 and I’m so happy I did it for him

Stefie Centauri this video is so cute with the guinea pig I just like your butt guinea pigs I only have one I'm trying to I'm trying to get other one and I'm trying to build a house and that's why I put the video

[@jennifer2808]

I am your biggest fan right now

[@jennifer2808]

I am brents biggest fan

[@The24968]

OMG! thank you for making this video! I never knew what to use as the flooring! I just got the grid panels for cheap and Im going to make their living space bigger

[@theeemoxley]

How often do you wash the fleece blankets?

[@martingoddard3994]

theeambrose once a week at least, IF you clean droppings 2 times daily. Although it depends on size of cage for how long they last.

[@leslietkach-kawasaki2189]

Thanks for this video! I completely agree with you about the store-bought cages. We just acquired our guinea pig, and we are making his cage within the next two days. Thanks so much for your video -- we learned a lot.

[@lilkins2798]

I live in an apt so obviously my room is hella small. And it's weirdly shaped. So i have a crappy store bought cage and I have 3 pigs and i feel so bad but my parents tell me that i need to have my pigs in my room because they smell bad...I cant wait to movee outtt omfggg.

[@honeyofoats5619]

ask can you get the bigger room

[@thequeenmom4781]

Buy the small bottles of essential oils (piping rock.com has them super duper cheap) Then mix about 5 drops of the oil with a big amount of water in a spray bottle. Now you have a natural non harmful air freshener, that will mask unpleasant smells and also last you a very long time.

[@pinkypromisecat]

Is it possible for you to get a loft bed from ikea so that they can have more room? I know it sucks. I remember having my cats litter box in my bedroom.

[@paigasaurusrexx]

Try lavender scented bedding!

[@soggycereal8626]

Paige Thomas Scented bedding can harm Guinea Pigs respiratory systems, so I recommend not to do that.

[@brooklyngrace281]

Got my first piggie (Arlo) and he’s in a large store-bought cage with my sibling’s pigs (Captain and Bonsai), but while the cage is large, all three are boars and I think it’s more of an ideal size for two rather than three. Since getting Arlo and doing a lot of research I’ve absolutely fallen in love with guinea pigs! I think I’m going to build this cage and get a few more of my own pigs so I can have them in my room too, since they’re currently in my sister’s room :)

[@catelynrose7340]

I just got a guinea pig and I bought a cage from the pet store and I feel bad bc its probably too small. I am going to build this cage, but I'm curious if you ever had problems with ur guinea pigs jumping out?

[@martingoddard3994]

catelynrose they *can* jump out but only for food or mating lol

[@martingoddard3994]

They only want to jump for those otherwise they stay in side

[@catelynrose7340]

Martin Goddard haha ok thanks, i havent had any problems so far!!

[@martingoddard3994]

catelynrose no prob. happy guinea-ing(?) Loll

[@thelittlestarfish5109]

[@Rat-dp3qx]

Im getting 2 guinea pigs for my birthday thats in a couple days and im super excited!! I have enough space in my room for a big cage so my guinea pigs can be happy! thanks for the video!

[@Elias-ry1gf]

GREAT video I will definitely be doing this for my piggie thanks👌👍

[@ajmontgomery4564]

Sorry to hear of the loss, I just acquired 2 myself, didn't like em at first but I love them now!! Great video, you could always get some more piggies!!!

[@patk.4926]

My boars have a 4x2 c&c with a 1x2 loft. Should I make it bigger? I really don’t want them to fight. They are about 6 months old and they are brothers.

[@madeleinetschetter3085]

Really helpful! I wanted to make a cage for my Guinea pigs so it would be something they like but all the others ones were wooden ones that looked rlly hard to make. Thank you!

[@stephaniemistich1307]

You must have got tons of bedding!!

[@StefieCentauri]

We do!! Fleece at our local craft store is super cheap so I'm always buying new patterns for the piggies! :-P

[@stephaniemistich1307]

Stefie Centauri Lucky!!! I have 2 guinea pigs myself and the fleece at my local stores are super high but looking at it in another way, we were just blessed to have any so we wouldn't have to buy the 30$ bedding.

[@viviannunez8801]

Stefie Centauri how big was the cage

[@stephaniemistich1307]

Nunez family it's a 4by4 c & c cage

[@kassyl4355]

I just got two baby piggy boys yesterday and only have a "starter" cage for them which is too small for my liking. Because of this video i'm making their cage exactly like this so thanks so much for the help!!

[@iamanormaldude]

Have you tried fleece bedding? My four piggies love to “popcorn” when they see the bright fleece! 👍😘

[@peppa_vlogs6150]

i’m currently using fleece! but im most likely going to move back to hay bedding fleece just doesn’t work very well for me

[@kamisa7362]

Aww.. So cute.. They purred right after you put them in the cage. I think that means they loved their new home.

[@raymorr8713]

actually its calles rumble strutting, where theyre trying to establish dominance. (Im a huge guinea pig nerd i know)

[@vampymags12]

i have always built my own cages like this! They are so nice for the piggies and I always add a second floor!

[@thepiggielife3949]

Lové the cage!! Maybe don't use saw dust though.... it's bad for their respiratory system...

[@kylajadexo]

Where was the sawdust

[@StefieCentauri]

+kik tv I didn't use any!! :-)

[@StefieCentauri]

+The Piggie Life I didn't use saw dust, it was regular paper bedding. In the video, I said we had switched to fleece and that is what we use now :-)

[@thepiggielife3949]

Stefie Centauri Okay sorry it just looks like it in the video!! :-)

[@fadeandr2842]

The Piggie Life where do you see saw?

[@ayannanormandin8995]

I highly appreciate how u added all the links! I love this cage so much and now i think im going to do a C&C cage!

[@breacalico2439]

I would love to try fleece but my piggy hates being picked up so it takes a few minutes to try to grab him. It would be a hassle trying to get him out every time to wash the fleece :(

[@MarrisaPlays]

you dont have to pick them up you just guide them to one side of the cage. fold up the fleece and spot clean if needed then start laying down the new stuff then guide them to the new side of the cage so you can removed the other side and lay down the other half of the new fleece. As a side note you should make a floor time cage big enough for you to sit in and then to have room and then just sit and chill for an hr or 2 while you watch a movie or read and dont try to pet them they will gravitate to you and you may eventually get more tame piggies

[@mikrokosmos-pluto]

You could get them to go inside a hidey (like a tunnel or something) and pick them up once they're inside. Maybe putting some treats inside would help as well.

[@mikrokosmos-pluto]

Little Adventures has tons of videos in terms of taming and other things that could help.

[@missdee4927]

Yeah I tried that same paper bedding at first but I have three different large cages for my 5 guinea pigs (2 girls, 3 boys) so it got to be too expensive and I just sewed my own fleece to uhaul padding. Uhaul padding is a great absorber. Now I use paper bedding for the kitchen area only.

[@aydenmadsella]

I’m saving ALL my money to buy a guinea pig!! My mum needs to allow me to though... but I’m ganna get some sort of pet :)

[@nanoaranda5710]

Such a mood

[@nr1wooyounglover]

aydenmadsella Please buy atleast two and build the cage yourself, if this isn't possible you should not get piggies.

[@autumngrace3915]

Roggie's pink converse They’re literally watching a video on how to build a cage so I think it’s safe to assume that’s what they’re doing

[@mads6488]

Hopefully I will adopting two piggies tomorrow! I am SO excited!! This video was very educational for my layout, thank you :)

[@chavruta2000]

what does C&C stand for?

[@StefieCentauri]

+chavruta2000 Cubes and coroplast! :-)

and what does THAT mean (Sorry if I'm just being stupid, I`m tired)

[@mckennalaird2398]

I got a guinea pig today, and it wasn't until I set up her cage (a 20 gallon tank) that I realized I had done it all wrong. It is WAY too small, and I feel so bad. This video has really helped me figure out how to fix this. Unfortunately she will have to stay in her tiny cage for a few days until I can get the new set up ready for her, and she will have to be alone until I can get her a friend (which I have found out is something guinea pigs need). Thank you for this video!

[@littlecaviestm9537]

You should NOT use a tank!!

[@alliewoog7505]

If the cage is on the ground, do I need cubes under the coroplast?

[@adorasock3104]

Allie Woog I think it would be better to keep it together

[@averymagana2072]

Allie Woog It's not necessary as long as your grids are secure. :)

[@StefieCentauri]

If you only have the outer rim, the grids will be somewhat movable. I highly recommend having the full grid set up, but if you can't, get extra zip ties to secure the grids together in more places.

[@alliewoog7505]

Ok, thank you! I plan to have cubes on the ground :D

[@emmaennis4196]

Stefie Centauri I would just put one on each of the corners to help keep it together

[@emma-cschram15]

I love the way you put this together, so simple, this is exactly what I'm going to do for miss Snickerdoodle once we get into our new place in a couple of weeks. Thank you.

[@ejjones5404]

Your video is helping me so much I'm going to try and make a cage like this,in getting 2 piggies in 3 or 4 weeks I need to be prepared!!!

[@faniecehackney9863]

do they wheek a lot in the house? I keep them outside but I'm thinking about bringing them in.

[@nanadalnim]

Faniece Hackney not really, only when they're hungry. their happy squeaks are a little loud but cute. their regular little happy noises aren't loud at all and is really pleasant to hear, i would bring them in depending on the weather, bringing them would definitely make the bonding better!!

[@faniecehackney9863]

Thanks a lot. My mom said its OK as long as they dont make too much noise. I have 7 of them

[@nanadalnim]

Faniece Hackney oh 7??? i only have so that might make a difference. they might make a lot of noise at first but i would try it out to see how it'll work.

[@faniecehackney9863]

Oh haha thanks :). Having 7 is a handful but is worth it.

[@StefieCentauri]

Like Henna Lee said, they really don't wheek too much! They usually only wheek at meal times when they can hear us opening their food bags :-P Or when we've been gone for a while, they will wheek a little bit to say hello once we are home :-D They mostly just rumble and purr as they run around and play :-)

[@skylarderrig6125]

You're a very caring and good guinea pig owner

[@sausageroll4680]

Why do u put the cage on the floor too

[@ryanjbsw]

This is the best idea I have ever seen my little babies will love this 💕

[@Kitty_6164]

Would this cage be big enough for 3 piggies?

[@pigs.can.fly2]

Yes, but it would be better to do it a tiny bit bigger. Make sure all your piggies are girls because the boys need LOTS of space or else they will fight.

[@littlecaviestm9537]

yes, it is suitable for a herd of 5

[@lanielane1416]

OMG THAT LONG HAIRED PIGGY IS SOOOO CUTE!!! AND I LOVE THE COLOR OF THE SHORT HAIR ONE!

[@baldlisa4306]

that cage is awesome. if i move and get my own room im soo doing this. i have two boys and hey fight constently. i was going to do this at first but i relized if my dog ever got into my room he would eat them

[@littlecaviestm9537]

you need to get a bigger cage, you cannot separate them because one you do they will fight as soon as they are put back together, littermates or not

[@mistythehamster8405]

I’m so excited I’m getting piggies soon! this is the same size cage I’m building so This was super helpful!!!

[@dannyt9069]

Like if you have a guinea pig.😀

[@kendylthompson922]

Almost exactly like my cage just mine had sliding bars over the top because we also have other animals and it was just for extra safety! My one piggies lived till it was 8 and my other three are a bit younger but still super healthy

[@adelmny]

DO NOT DO A DOUBLE STORY CAGE PLEASE IT CAN DAMAGE THE PIGGIES!!!!! The ramp to go upward can and will harm the piggies. They do not have a good depth perception at all! They will fall off of it, and even a small drop will hurt them!

[@cj597]

Madelyn Dogwater my ramp has sides, which they never attempt to climb over, as long as it’s not too steep there shouldn’t be an issue.

[@Angelica-gw3st]

What she said ^ plus my ramp has a long piece of fleece attached to it so their paws don't get caught on or possibly under the wire. They'll be okay trust me.

[@hectic2039]

Lol I have.a second story but I took of the ramp so he won’t go up but he jumps from his house to the second floor I don’t see the problem maybe it’s just mine

[@nathaliacelestino856]

Thank you so much! I had a lot of fun building this with my family. And My guinea pigs love it💖♥️

[@Xxunicorn_nachosxX]

I think that this video was very helpful for me to learn how to build a cage for my guineapig Charlie and I thank you

[@elliepiglet6693]

With our guinea pigs we put hay everywhere, not in just piles. Just encase they get cold. Its a good source of heat! Enjoyed the vid🔥

[@kyraschmid2600]

I’m redoing my pig cage because they’ve had a store bought one for years and one won’t stop chewing the wire and I’m guessing it’s because she needs more room so this was very helpful. THANK YOU!

[@kimkartrashianstopmakingst9060]

what a great cage you guys made! i was also using dog pee pee pads under the fleece blankets, and it just became too costly. Now what we do instead is put painters plastic drop cloths under the fleece. I think the size I get are 9x12 and they work great. I also get them at my local dollar store. Using them has saved a lot of $ and the smell is not as bad either.

[@peanut9807]

I have a c&c cage for my pigs (Winnie & Elsie) and they love it!

[@Wendy_Helena]

[@cynthiab6844]

Thank you so much for this video 😍 I’ve been trying to find a way to make my guinea pigs cage bigger without having to blow my money away!

[@violetbaudelaire2734]

Awesome info and thx I really want a guinea pig well two with a big enough cage and the bottom and enough toys but they kind of expensive thx though for this vid!

[@oliviaeasterling4532]

I use a portable playpen for my guinea pigs. I filled it with pine bedding. Then I put toys,hideouts,water, etc. It also has mesh all around it and it also has a zippable top. I love it because it is so much easier to move if you need to. But I’m just now sure if it is big enough. I have two large hideouts, a chewy log filled with food, and a wooden hexagonal ball. It’s about 3-4 feet wide. (it’s a circular shape) Any advice?

Best guide ever very straight forward I loved it

[@PetLifewithBec]

Aww, your piggies are so cute :) Looks as if they love the space.

[@StefieCentauri]

Thank you so much!! They really do love the space, they do zoomies all day long! :-D

[@alyssageurts]

Oh I definitely enjoyed! They're so cute and I'm really happy that you decided to switch to c&c cages, great job❤

[@maskedguineapig5612]

Excellent cage! Well done. We always make our own too! I totally picked up some good pointers. Thank you!

[@fyoevsky]

love how the cage looks!! i might be able to make this if my parents even let me get guinea pigs 👍

[@BonniePrincesa]

Great cage ! 😍Fantastic idea 💡 👏

[@lionessprowess3581]

Can you do a video of the processes you do to keep the fleece liners sanitary and how often you launder them?

[@elementtheone7547]

i love guinea pigs their so cute

[@nuggettheguineapig5043]

it looks amazing! i would just like to point out that there is an outlet near the cage, for safety reasons please pig-proof that!

[@shelbylobdell7228]

I'm getting two guinea pigs soon im so excited

[@cliotzetos6728]

I just want to let you know that unless you have a wall on the edge of a possible second story, it can be dangerous due to a guinea pig's poor depth perception so they can and probably will just walk off the edge. I just wanted to let you know. I have two piggies as well and I am going to use this awesome video to build a c&c cage for my piggies! Great video!

[@josephblackmon544]

I am subbed now!!! I love this , I love your layout, my daughter just had me buy two piggy’s and I felt bad that they have such small cages I am definitely going to do a diy cafe for my daughter thanks a lot for your video!! Very helpful

[@myah.1765]

Hi, I have a few questions. How many yards did you put in for the fleece? Also, how much was the white thing that went around the cage, and you cut out. I want to make this for my 2 baby piggies.

[@PiggieTime]

You actually don’t need a coroplast (the white thing) or grids on the bottom. All you need is a fleece blanket, an absorbent layer (towels or pee pads are common), and a shower curtain liner to keep it waterproof

[@joyceem7350]

Such a great size for your piggies! Nice job!!😊

[@heidismith6148]

you did an excellent job, my piggies also has a hugh cage.

[@scottweinberg2186]

[@divadancer1559]

[@lovelypiggiesz6731]

Hi Stefie, Can you make a video on how to make a 2 floor C&C cage?? Thanks!

[@PumpkinPie082]
