    great job,sometimes you need to open the box cutter(stanley knife(uk)) as the new blades are stored in the handle.think its a safety feature.either a philips screw driver to open or just both halfs unclip.

    Awww this looks so fun for the piggies! Pepper was so cute napping up there. I’ve been thinking about adding a loft to my cage, and this seems like a great way to do it! I tried to bend the C&C grids once too, and they snapped. I’m not sure how other people get them to bend so perfectly. 😂

      Yeah I’m so glad they enjoy it and use it I was worried they wouldn’t! And yeah...I have no idea how people build ramps using girds!! 😂 coroplast works just fine for me lol!

    Super cute! But my question is how did you litter box train your guinea pigs?!

    • @autumngrace.
      @autumngrace.  3 года назад

      Mine aren’t fully litterbox trained! They happen to poo and pee mostly in their litterboxs Bc that’s where they eat. But I’ve heard people have litter box trained their piggies by repeatedly spot cleaning the cage and dumping the poos in the litter box

      The cage was just cleaned so there’s not much poo in it! The bowls have pellets in them not poos. I vacuum daily and most of their poo ends up in the litterbox area!

    • @autumngrace.
      @autumngrace.  2 года назад

      It was my roomates cat! I don't live with her anymore so I no longer live with cats. For guinea pigs, I would keep them in a room where the cat cannot access. Keep the door closed when you're not in the rooms (or even at all times). For rabbits, some people have their rabbits and cats get along. Personally, I don't think I'd risk it but some get along well under supervision. Maybe make sure your rabbits home base is away from the cat and if you want to introduce them make sure the cats nails are clipped short and to always be there when they interact. Hope this helps!

      In real time the video is like 30min long. No one is going to watch me move in real time for 30min. If you’re referring to where I was attaching the grids to the cage all I was doing was using zip ties. If you want it slower you can slow down the speed of the video on RUclips settings
