76 x 193
2x6 grids
*Note: Most panels (or cubes or grids) are 35.5 centimenters square, the grid dimensions quoted also allow for the connectors between the grids, so one panel or cube is wider than this. DO NOT use grids with inner square spaces greater than 3.8cm. Make sure you are using the right kind. Some brands, such as those from K*Mart are a different size (38 centimeters) and will require different measurements or overlapping some grids using cable ties rather than connectors. Remember, measure twice, cut once.
*Also Note: Cage sizes quoted are the INNER, USABLE dimensions of the cage. NOT the standard cage manufacturers' ploy of measuring the outer lip of plastic from end to end to publish the cage size.
* Warning. Babies. very young or very small guinea pigs, and pregnant mothers require some temporary additional height on the sides of the cage (it's easy to do). In addition, any wire hay rack should be used with caution with very small guinea pigs. See the Cage Safety page for instructions and suggestions.
The old breeder-espoused cage standards of 2 or 4 square feet are dead and no longer apply. The new standards have been proven out over the years with worldwide adoption and success. Read some of the Testimonials here and surf through the many internet guinea pig forums. lists and groups with unending positive results demonstrating improved health and well-being of guinea pigs everywhere.
