Solid Panels for Wire Cube Run 35 × 35 cm

Trixie Closed Panel for Wire Cube Run 35 × 35 cm

The Trixie Solid Panel for the Wire Cube Run is a handy expansion set for the Indoor C&C Run. The set consists of 4 solid panels measuring approx. 35 × 35 cm with mounting hardware. You use these panels to enlarge the run, create a quieter corner, or provide more privacy for a part of the guinea pig cage.

When it comes to C&C accessories, DRD prioritizes practicality. Open wire panels are great for visibility and airiness, while solid panels are particularly useful in areas where you want more peace, protection, or a messy edge. Think of a hay corner, potty area, hiding place, or a side where you want less bedding, hay, or splashes outside the run.

Why choose solid panels?

Solid panels give you more control over the layout of the C&C Run. While wire panels are primarily open and airy, solid panels provide more shelter and screening. This is useful when you want to create a corner where your guinea pigs can lie down more quietly, or when you want to keep the hay corner a bit tidier.

For guinea pigs, an enclosure often works best when there are clearly defined zones: an open run area, multiple hiding places, a hay corner, and a food or water area. Solid panels can make such a zone visually calmer. They can also help keep hay, bedding, or small debris slightly better contained within the run.

The panels are also handy when you want to adapt the run to your home. Think of a side along a wall, a corner next to furniture, or a section where you want a bit more screening. This way, you not only make the C&C Run larger, but above all more practical for your space and for your guinea pigs.

What do you use these panels for?

• Expand: make the Indoor C&C Run longer, wider, or change the shape.
• Quiet corner: use solid panels to create a sheltered corner.
• Hay corner: place solid panels around a hay or litter zone to better control mess.
• Mess edge: handy with bedding, fleece, hay, or toilet bedding.
• Shielding: use panels to keep furniture, cables, or plants out of reach during a controlled setup.
• Higher edge: combine panels to make parts of the run higher or more screened.

Always use the panels as part of a stable C&C setup. After assembly, check that all connections are securely fastened and that the panels cannot shift when animals walk into or push against them.

Solid panel or lattice panel?

Solid panels and lattice panels both have their own function. Lattice panels are useful for visibility, airiness, and open edges. Solid panels, on the other hand, are useful for tranquility, screening, and limiting clutter. Often, a combination of both works best.

• Solid panels: great for hay corners, potty areas, quiet hiding spots, and messy edges.
• Wire mesh panels: great for an open view, airy sides, extensions, and places where you want to be able to see your guinea pigs clearly.

Do you mainly want to make the run larger? Then open wire panels are often the most logical basis. Do you want to make a section neater, quieter, or more sheltered? Then solid panels are a nice addition.

For which animals are these panels suitable?

• Guinea pig: very suitable as an accessory for the Indoor C&C Run. The panels help to expand the enclosure, create corners, and quiet zones.
• Rabbit: only suitable as part of a temporary indoor run or enclosure under supervision. Rabbits can push, jump, and gnaw more strongly, so check the stability very carefully.

For small rodents such as mice, hamsters, and gerbils, these panels are not intended as part of an enclosure. The C&C Run is not suitable as a primary enclosure for these animals, as they are much smaller and more prone to escape. For rats, chinchillas, and degus, this low C&C setup is also not intended as a full-fledged cage; they have different requirements regarding height, sturdiness, and layout.

Use for guinea pigs

For guinea pigs, solid panels are particularly useful for making the enclosure quieter and more practical. For example, you can create a hay corner with solid panels on one or two sides, so that hay and bedding are less likely to fall out of the run. You can also make a hiding place more sheltered, giving guinea pigs more choice between open and quiet spots.

Guinea pigs primarily need floor space. Therefore, preferably use extra panels to enlarge the run or make the layout smarter, not just to build higher. A larger, uncluttered floor arrangement aligns better with their movement patterns.

Use as a clutter border or rest corner

A solid border can make a big difference in areas that quickly become messy. Think of the hay corner, a pee mat, toilet bedding, or a spot where bedding and hay are tracked out more easily. By using solid panels there, the surroundings remain tidier and the run gains a clearer layout.

Such a sheltered side can also be pleasant for the guinea pigs themselves. Not every side of the run needs to be completely open. It is precisely a combination of an open view and sheltered edges that gives an enclosure more tranquility and freedom of choice.

Assembly and expansion

Use the included mounting materials to attach the panels to the existing C&C Ren or to other panels. Assemble the setup carefully and check after assembly that everything is straight and stable. For a larger setup, it is wise to pay extra attention to corners and connections.

• Check beforehand which shape you want to make.
• Use the panels as an extension, border, corner, or screen.
• Combine solid panels with lattice panels for a practical layout.
• After installation, check that all panels are securely fastened.
• Regularly check that the couplings do not loosen due to daily use.

Combine with the C&C Ren

These solid panels are intended as an extension or addition to the Indoor C&C Run. Combine them with the run, open wire panels, and a suitable floor for a complete guinea pig setup.
