C&C Loose Rack 35 × 35 cm

C&C® Cages Loose Rack for Wire Cube Cages

The C&C® Cages Loose Rack is a separate wire panel for original C&C® Cage wire cube cages. With one or more loose racks, you can expand, modify, repair, or streamline your existing C&C setup.

This separate panel is especially handy when you want to create an extra side, modify a section of the cage, build an extension, or have a spare panel on hand. C&C works as a modular system: with racks, connectors, lofts, and matching bases, you can let the setup grow with your space, your animals, and your daily care routine.

At DRD, we at C&C look not just at individual components, but at the complete setup. A single rack is small, but it is precisely such a component that makes the system flexible: you can add to it, make repairs, change a corner, or create a practical partition without immediately choosing a completely new cage.

Why a separate C&C rack is handy

A C&C enclosure is so strong precisely because it is adaptable. Sometimes you want to make the cage larger, replace a side, build an extra corner, or arrange an existing setup just a little smarter. With individual racks, you can continue building step by step without immediately needing a completely new cage.

A logical layout is important for guinea pigs. They need open running space, but also sheltered spots, a hay corner, and quiet zones. With movable panels, you can better tailor the setup to your space and how your guinea pigs use the enclosure.

A separate rack is also convenient as a spare part. C&C is a system that can grow with you for years, and separate parts make maintenance, expansion, and minor adjustments much easier.

Dimensions and application

The separate C&C rack measures approximately 35 × 35 cm. This size aligns with the original C&C® Cage panels, making it suitable for expansions and modifications within the same system.

• Dimensions: approximately 35 × 35 cm
• Suitable for: original C&C® Cage wire cube cages
• Use: extension, modification, repair, extra side or partition
• Can be combined with: C&C connectors, C&C cages, lofts, and matching floor solutions
• Material: sturdy wire panel within the modular C&C system

Do you want to use multiple panels to expand? Then remember to also bring enough connectors. A panel is only truly useful when you can securely connect it to the rest of the setup.

What do you use separate C&C racks for?

Separate racks are versatile. They are primarily used to expand or modify an existing C&C cage, but they are also handy as spare parts or as extra panels for a loft or custom layout.

✔ Making a C&C cage larger
✔ Add an extra side or corner
✔ Restore an existing setup
✔ Support a loft or extension more neatly
✔ Create a temporary partition within a larger setup
✔ Keep a spare panel on hand

For which animals is this C&C rack suitable?

This rack is part of the C&C system and is primarily used for guinea pig enclosures. The panel itself does not determine whether an enclosure is suitable; the overall setup, floor area, stability, and interior design are the determining factors.

• Guinea pig: suitable as part of a C&C guinea pig cage, extension, extra side, or custom setup.
• Rabbit: only as part of a larger indoor run, temporary enclosure, or spacious setup. Plenty of continuous space to move around remains important for rabbits.

Always use individual panels as part of a stable, well-built structure. For a larger expansion, it is wise to check immediately whether you need extra connectors and a suitable base solution.

Complete your C&C expansion with parts that really fit.

A separate rack works best when combined with the right C&C components. Below are the products that fit directly with this system: connectors, complete C&C cages, lofts, and matching floor mats.

Tip: order enough connectors along with extra racks. This way, you can continue building steadily right away and avoid running just one connector short.

How many racks do you need?

That depends on what you want to build. For a small adjustment or spare, one rack is often enough. For an expansion, you usually need multiple racks and extra connectors. Make a simple sketch of your desired setup beforehand so you can better estimate how many panels and connectors you need.

Do you primarily want to enlarge the existing cage? Then also consider the floor. When the extension is placed on the floor, you often need a suitable bottom mat, extra pee pad, or Coroplast solution to ensure the new space connects neatly.

Structure and use

Always use loose racks together with matching C&C connectors. 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 in daily life.

DRD tip: think in systems, not in separate parts

A loose rack may seem like a small part, but within a C&C setup, it can make all the difference. You can build an extra corner, extend a setup, support a loft, or keep a spare panel on hand. It is precisely this flexibility that makes C&C so appealing to guinea pig owners who want to keep improving their enclosure.

Therefore, always combine separate racks logically with connectors and consider the base solution at the same time. This way, your C&C enclosure remains not only larger but also neat, stable, and pleasant to use.

Good to know

With every expansion, check that the setup is stable and that the panels are properly seated in the connectors. A modular cage looks its best when the base is constructed in a calm, sleek, and logical manner.

Use separate racks as part of a suitable C&C setup and check regularly for wear. This ensures the system remains pleasant and safe for daily use.
