C&C® Cages 4x2 – Modular Guinea Pig Cage

C&C® Cages Wire Cube Cage 4x2 - 145 × 75 cm

The C&C® Cages Wire Cube Cage 4x2 is a spacious, modular guinea pig cage for owners who consciously choose more running space, a clear view, and flexibility. With a base size of approximately 145 × 75 cm, this cage offers significantly more usable floor space than many traditional guinea pig cages.

This model is particularly interesting as a main setup for 2 guinea pigs. The open C&C construction makes the enclosure uncluttered, easily accessible, and pleasant to arrange, featuring a hay corner, hiding places, tunnels, a drinking area, and a comfortable floor. Thanks to the modular system, you can easily expand later with separate shelves, connectors, or a loft.

At DRD, when it comes to C&C guinea pig cages, we look not only at the size of the cage, but especially at the complete setup: is there enough open running space left, can the guinea pigs easily pass each other, is the hay corner logically placed, and does the bedding fit your cleaning routine? This way, this 4x2 becomes not only a spacious cage, but a pleasant foundation for daily use.

Why choose a C&C 4x2 guinea pig cage?

Guinea pigs are true ground animals. They use their enclosure primarily horizontally: walking, hiding, eating hay, resting, following each other, and avoiding one another. That is precisely why an open basic setup with a continuous floor area is so pleasant. This C&C 4x2 gives you more freedom to divide the space logically than many standard guinea pig cages.

What makes this 4x2 extra strong is its expandability. You are not just buying a cage, but a modular system. Do you want more space, a loft, an extra side, a new layout, or replacement parts later on? Then you can continue building with original C&C® parts.

This cage is a good fit for owners who want to create a neat, open, and practical guinea pig setup without being immediately tied to one fixed shape. This provides peace of mind during the furnishing process and makes it easier to adapt the cage to your space and your animals later on.

Dimensions and living space

The total dimensions of this C&C cage are approximately 145 × 75 × 37 cm. The usable floor area of the base is approximately 1.09 m². The Coroplast bottom tray has a rim height of approximately 12 cm, which helps to better contain hay, bedding, droppings, and loose materials within the enclosure.

• Base size: approximately 145 × 75 cm
• Height: approximately 37 cm
• Floor area: approximately 1.09 m²
• Panel size: approximately 35 × 35 cm per panel
• Bottom tray: Coroplast with a raised edge of approximately 12 cm
• Material: metal, plastic and Coroplast

With this basic size, the 4x2 is a nice main setup for 2 guinea pigs. For 3 or more guinea pigs, expanding is advisable to create more continuous floor space and ensure the setup remains better suited to the group.

For which animals is this C&C cage suitable?

This C&C setup is primarily intended for guinea pigs. The open structure, floor area, and modular layout are well-suited to guinea pigs because they move mainly horizontally and benefit greatly from clear movement routes.

• Guinea pig: suitable as a modular main setup for 2 guinea pigs, especially when working with open run space, multiple hiding places, and a logical hay corner.
• Rabbit: only suitable as an extra indoor run, temporary enclosure, or part of a much larger setup. Rabbits require much more continuous space to move around than this cage offers as a standalone base.

For guinea pigs, always consider the number of animals, temperament, sex, age, and the final setup. Houses, tunnels, hay racks, food bowls, and litter boxes take up space. Therefore, always keep sufficient open runways clear.

This C&C 4x2 primarily comes with parts that directly match this size and system. This way, you don't have to search through general categories yourself, but can immediately practically complete the cage with the right bottom mat, extra panels, connectors, a drinking solution, or a loft.

Tip: If you want to continue building later, loose racks and connectors are especially handy to have in stock. With these, you can expand, repair, or adjust the layout without immediately choosing a completely new cage.

Furnish the cage with open runways.

A C&C enclosure works best when you don't fill it completely. Guinea pigs need to be able to walk, turn, pass, eat, and rest without constantly getting stuck between houses, hay, and water points. Therefore, think in terms of zones: a hay corner, a dry resting place, an open central route, multiple hiding places, and possibly a toilet area.

This is especially important with two guinea pigs. Provide multiple sheltered spots and wide passageways so that the animals can move past each other in a relaxed manner. This way, the cage becomes not only more spacious but also more pleasant for daily use.

Coroplast tray: practical and well-organized

The Coroplast bottom tray has raised edges and forms the practical base of the cage. The rim helps to keep bedding, hay, and loose materials better contained within the cage. Furthermore, the bottom combines well with washable mats, pee pads, or absorbent zones.

Many owners choose a combination for a C&C enclosure: a soft floor mat as a base, loose pee pads in wet spots, and litter bedding in the hay corner or litter box. This allows for targeted cleaning without having to constantly change the entire floor.

Coroplast is practical, lightweight, and waterproof, but it is not intended as gnawing material. If you notice your guinea pigs nibbling curiously at the edges, it often helps to enrich the setup with hay, gnawing material, hiding places, and variety. This keeps the bedding looking better and gives the animals more to do.

Modular and expandable

A major advantage of C&C is that you are not tied to one fixed shape. With separate racks, connectors, lofts, and matching floor solutions, you can modify or expand the enclosure later. This is useful when you want to create more space, try a different layout, or add an extra zone.

When expanding, don't just think about the panels. The base must also logically grow with it. Often, an expansion also requires an extra base mat, plasma mat, Coroplast section, or absorbent zone.

✔ Separate racks are handy for expansion or repair
✔ Connectors help to securely connect the system
✔ A loft offers extra layout
✔ Bottom mats and pee pads make the cleaning routine easier
✔ With C&C, you can more easily grow with your space and wishes later on.

Manual and structure

Would you like to take a look at the assembly process at your leisure first? Then check out the C&C Cage cage manual . In it, you can see how the panels, connectors, and base are assembled.

Press the panels firmly into the connectors so that the setup is tight and sturdy. This gives the best result and makes the cage more pleasant to use every day.

Cleaning the C&C cage

A C&C guinea pig cage is easy to keep clean when you work with zones. Remove wet hay, wet pee pads, and soiled litter in time. The main base then does not always need to be completely replaced.

A practical routine is:

• Remove wet hay and visible puddles daily
• Regularly change pee pads in fixed wet spots
• keep toilet bedding in the hayloft
• keep feeding and watering areas clean
• Check the Coroplast bottom for dirt along edges and corners.

Good to know

A C&C guinea pig cage is flexible, but works best when the assembly remains calm and logical. Check that the panels are standing firmly, that connectors are securely fastened, and that the bottom fits together neatly. This ensures the enclosure remains pleasant to use and easy to maintain.

Preferably use multiple open hiding places, keep runways clear, and check designated potty spots daily. This way, the enclosure remains comfortable for your guinea pigs and practical for you.
