Wire Cube Cage Peter 140 cm for Guinea Pigs & Rabbits

Wire Cube Cage Peter 140 cm for Guinea Pigs & Rabbits

The Peter 140 cm Wire Cube Cage is a modular wire cube cage/run for guinea pigs and rabbits. Thanks to the separate panels and connectors, you can flexibly build, adapt, and expand the setup. This makes this cage particularly interesting if you are looking for a practical base that you can enlarge later with additional panels.

Measuring approximately 140 × 70 × 35 cm, this Peter cage offers about 0.98 m² of floor space. For guinea pigs, this is a compact basic setup. If you wish to adhere to the current guideline for two guinea pigs indoors, expanding is highly recommended. The strength of this cage therefore lies primarily in its modular system: you can start with a clear base and then add extra run space, an extra corner, or a wider configuration.

✔ Flexible wire cube cage/run of approx. 140 cm
✔ Modular construction with plastic connectors
✔ Handy as a basic setup for guinea pigs and rabbits
✔ Expandable with extra panels for more walking space
✔ Practical for indoor use, temporary setups, or as additional run

Why choose a modular wire cube cage?

A modular cage gives you a lot of freedom. You are not stuck with one fixed shape, but can adapt the setup to your room, your animals, and the decor. Do you want a longer run, an extra corner, or a wider walking route? Then you can build further with extra panels.

At DRD, when it comes to guinea pig and rabbit enclosures, we focus primarily on usable floor space, stability, expandability, and a practical layout. The Peter cage is particularly strong as a flexible base. By expanding it smartly, you can create more space for hay, water, food, hiding places, a litter box, tunnels, and free movement.

For guinea pigs: especially as an expandable base

Guinea pigs primarily use the floor. They do not climb like rats or mice and mainly need long, open runways, hiding places, multiple passageways, and a permanent hay corner. The Peter cage has approximately 0.98 m² of floor space, making it a compact basic option.

Nowadays, a minimum floor area of 1.6 m² is considered a clear guideline for two guinea pigs indoors. Therefore, we recommend preferably expanding this cage for guinea pigs. This way, you create a more spacious setup from the Peter cage where guinea pigs can move around better, pass each other, and display their daily behavior.

For rabbits: as an indoor run or additional space

For rabbits, the Peter cage is particularly suitable as an indoor run, temporary enclosure, or as part of a larger rabbit setup. Rabbits need plenty of room to move and may push more forcefully against panels or attempt to jump over low edges. Therefore, always check that the height and stability are suitable for your rabbit.

Preferably, do not use this rabbit cage as their sole permanent living space. View it as a flexible run or as a way to cordon off a safe zone, for example around a toilet area, feeding area, or temporary indoor space.

How do you practically set up the Peter cage?

A good setup starts with open space. Don't fill everything up, but work with clear zones: a hay corner, water area, feeding area, hiding place, and open space. Guinea pigs like multiple hiding places with two openings. Rabbits need room to move and must be able to easily turn around and stretch.

For guinea pigs, it is preferable to keep the interior low. Think of spacious houses, tunnels, hay, soft bedding, and possibly pee pads or toilet areas. For rabbits, you can use the Peter cage as part of a larger indoor run, with sufficient space outside the enclosure.

User manual

1. Choose the desired shape and place the panels on a flat surface.
2. Connect the panels with the plastic connectors.
3. Check that all connections are securely tightened.
4. Watch out for gaps, sharp edges, or loose parts before allowing animals access.
5. Add extra panels if necessary for more walking space or a better layout.

For which animals is the Peter cage suitable?

• Guinea pig: suitable as a modular base run or expandable guinea pig cage. For two guinea pigs, we recommend expanding the setup to include more floor space, so there is sufficient room for running, hiding, and multiple zones.
• Rabbit: suitable as an indoor run, temporary enclosure, or part of a larger rabbit setup. Always check that height, stability, and space are suitable for your rabbit.

Although the product specification broadly mentions “rodents,” in practice, this cage makes the most sense for guinea pigs and rabbits. For small rodents such as mice, hamsters, and gerbils, the bar spacing and open construction are usually not suitable as a primary enclosure.

Stability and safe use

After assembly, check that the panels are standing firmly and are properly connected to each other. Ensure that no gaps occur where an animal could get its head, paw, or body trapped. Place the cage on a flat surface so that the panels do not shift.

Use the cage outdoors only under supervision and only when the situation is safe. Consider predators, escape behavior, weather, sun, wind, temperature, and the ground surface. Never leave guinea pigs or rabbits unattended outdoors in an open wire run.

Good to know

The Peter cage is particularly interesting due to its flexibility. You can modify the basic setup, expand it, and combine it with extra panels. Expanding is especially valuable for guinea pigs, as more floor space immediately provides more possibilities for runways, hay corners, and hiding places.

For rabbits, this cage remains primarily a run or additional enclosure. A rabbit needs more space than this basic setup alone offers. Therefore, use the Peter cage deliberately as part of a more spacious setup.
