C&C ® wire cube cages: modular construction of a spacious guinea pig enclosure
C& C® wire cube cages are modular enclosures assembled using wire panels, connectors, and a Coroplast base tray. The system is particularly popular for guinea pigs because it offers more freedom in size, shape, and layout than many standard cages. You can start with a 4x2 or 5x2 setup, choose a loft, or add individual panels and connectors later.
Guinea pigs are ground animals. They particularly benefit from usable floor space, open runways, multiple hiding places, easily accessible hay, and a floor that is easy to keep clean. A C&C enclosure helps you to organize these elements clearly.
At DRD Knaagdierwinkel®, we view C&C cages as a complete enclosure solution. The wire cube cage is the foundation, but true quality is created by the right combination with bedding mats and pee pads , hay racks , houses, tunnels, toilet areas, and a layout that suits your guinea pigs' behavior.

Modular expansion
With separate panels, connectors, and lofts, you can modify, expand, or reconfigure the cage later.
Practical maintenance
The open layout makes it easier to access the hay corner, floor, toilet area, pee pads, and hiding places.

Why choose a C&C wire cube cage?
A C&C wire cube cage is particularly strong due to the combination of space, visibility, and flexibility. You build the enclosure using panels and connectors, allowing you to start with a straight basic setup and easily expand or modify it later.
- Plenty of floor space: guinea pigs primarily use the floor. A C&C cage helps create open runways and distinct zones.
- Good ventilation: the open wire structure ensures plenty of air circulation and a clear view.
- Flexible layout: with panels, connectors, and lofts, you can adapt the enclosure to your space and your animals.
- Easy cleaning: the open design allows easy access to the hay corner, floor, toilet area, and pee pads.
- Easy to expand: separate racks and connectors make it possible to build larger later.
- Good visibility: you can quickly see where your guinea pigs are and which areas need extra cleaning.
- Creative layout: you can work with hay racks, houses, tunnels, floor mats, pee mats, and clearly defined zones.
A C&C cage is therefore not just an enclosure, but a system. You choose the basic size, make the floor practical, and then furnish the cage with hay, water, hiding places, resting zones, and open movement space.
Which C&C size do you choose?
With C&C cages, you often encounter sizes such as 4x2 and 5x2. These numbers refer to the number of C&C panels in length and width. In practice, however, you primarily look at the usable floor area after you have furnished the cage.
| C&C setup | When is it interesting? | What do you look out for? |
|---|---|---|
| 4x2 | Compact modular base for guinea pigs. | Leave enough open walking space after the houses, hay, and water. |
| 5x2 | More length and more space to create zones. | Pleasant for multiple guinea pigs or a more spacious setup. |
| With loft | Extra space for hay, rest, or enrichment. | The base floor remains the most important; a loft does not replace floor space. |
| Expandable | When you want to build bigger or differently later. | Also consider extra ground mats, pee mats, and connectors. |
Are you unsure between two sizes? Then it is better to choose more usable floor space and a calmer layout. Guinea pigs benefit more from being able to pass each other easily than from a crowded enclosure.
What is Coroplast and why is it so popular?
Coroplast is a ribbed polypropylene material. It is lightweight, waterproof, and dimensionally stable enough to be used as a floor tray in a C&C cage. The edges can be raised, helping to keep hay, droppings, and loose bedding better contained within the enclosure.
This is especially practical for guinea pigs. They eat a lot of hay and often use designated spots intensively. With a Coroplast floor, you can work with floor mats, pee pads, toilet zones, and a clear hay corner.
Coroplast in brief
✓ Lightweight and waterproof material
✓ Easy to clean
✓ Raised edges help keep hay and bedding inside the cage
✓ Combines well with floor mats, pee mats, and toilet bedding
✓ Not intended as gnawing material; therefore, provide sufficient hay, enrichment, and gnawing material.
A brief history of C&C Cages
C&C stands for “Cavy and Critter”. The system became popular because guinea pig owners sought more freedom than many standard cages offered. By using separate wire panels, connectors, and a bottom tray, enclosures could be made more spacious, practical, and adaptable.
That flexibility is still C&C's strength. You can start small, expand when necessary, and adapt the setup to your animals, your space, and your daily care.

Frequently asked questions about C&C wire cube cages
What is a C&C wire cube cage?
A C&C wire cube cage is a modular enclosure that you assemble using wire panels, connectors, and usually a Coroplast base tray. The system is widely used for guinea pigs.
What does C&C stand for?
C&C stands for Cavy and Critter. The name comes from the guinea pig world and fits the idea of a flexible, modular enclosure.
Is a C&C cage suitable for guinea pigs?
Yes, C&C cages are especially popular for guinea pigs because you can create a lot of floor space and a calm layout. Guinea pigs remain floor animals, so the base floor is the most important.
What is the difference between 4x2 and 5x2?
A 5x2 C&C cage is longer than a 4x2 and provides more continuous floor space. This makes it easier to create zones for hay, rest, shelter, and open movement.
Is a loft practical in a C&C guinea pig cage?
A loft can be useful as an extra zone for hay, rest, or enrichment. The loft does not replace basic floor space; guinea pigs remain ground animals.
What is Coroplast?
Coroplast is a lightweight, waterproof plastic sheet material often used as a floor tray in C&C cages. The raised edges help keep hay, droppings, and bedding material inside the cage.
Can you expand a C&C wire cube cage?
Yes, that is precisely one of the advantages. With individual panels, connectors, lofts, and suitable floor solutions, you can expand the enclosure or reconfigure the layout later.
Is C&C also suitable for rabbits?
C&C panels can be useful as part of a larger indoor run or as a temporary enclosure. A standalone C&C cage is not a full-fledged primary enclosure for rabbits; rabbits need plenty of continuous space to move around.
What do you need for a C&C cage?
Consider a suitable bottom mat or bedding, pee pads, hay, a hay rack or hay bag, multiple houses, tunnels, a water station, a food bowl, litter box bedding, and possibly extra panels or connectors.
