What’s Included with a C&C Guinea Pig Cage? 🐹 (Unboxing Guide)
If you’ve been researching guinea pig cages, you’ve probably seen the term C&C cage come up again and again. But one of the most common questions people ask before ordering is simple: “What actually comes in the box?”
That’s a fair question. After all, you don’t want to order a cage only to discover you’re missing half the parts. This unboxing guide shows you exactly what arrives when you order a C&C guinea pig cage from us, so there are no surprises.
Why Knowing What’s Included Matters
When you bring home a new pet, preparation is everything. Because guinea pigs need space and comfort, you want to know you’re getting a complete setup. This guide removes the guesswork. It also helps you get ready for delivery day, so you can set up your new cage without stress.
How Your C&C Cage Is Delivered 📦
Every order is shipped with care using a fully tracked courier service . For larger cages, you may receive more than one box. The outer box is large: 108cm x 76cm x 15cm. Everything is securely packed to prevent damage. The correx base may arrive folded, while the grids and instructions are neatly inside a smaller box. You can feel confident that your items will arrive safe and ready to use.
What’s Included with a C&C Guinea Pig Cage
Now for the fun part! Here’s what you’ll find when you open your box:
- Grids: These create the structure of your cage. The exact number depends on the cage size you choose.
- Connectors: Specialised clips that hold the grids together.
- Cable ties: Extra support for added stability (recommended for all cages).
- Correx base: Pre-cut and scored so you can fold it into shape. It forms the waterproof floor.
- Rivets: These push-fit rivets secure together to hold the correx neatly in place.
- Instruction guide: Easy-to-follow steps to build your cage quickly.
- Optional extras: If you added fleece liners, hay trays, lofts, lids, stands or nibble guards, they’ll be in your box too.
That’s it—everything you need to build a safe and spacious home for your guinea pigs. 🏡
The Unboxing Process Step by Step
Unboxing your cage is easy. Here’s how to do it smoothly:
- Open the box carefully with scissors. Don’t cut too deep.
- Take out the grids. They’ll be inside a smaller brown box.
- Remove the correx sheet. It may be folded.
- Check for connectors and cable ties inside the grid box.
- Lay everything out so you can see each part.
Once everything is unpacked, you’re ready to start building. Most customers say it feels a bit like building with giant Lego. 🧩
What You’ll Need to Get Started
You don’t need specialist tools to build your C&C cage. However, here are a few things that help:
- Clear floor space to lay everything out.
- Scissors to trim the cable ties neatly.
- A spare pair of hands for larger cages (optional but helpful!).
That’s all. You’ll be amazed how quickly it comes together.
Assembly Preview 🔧
Although this isn’t a full assembly guide, here’s a sneak peek. You simply connect the grids, secure them with connectors and cable ties, then fold the correx base into shape and secure with rivets. Most customers finish in under 30 minutes.
Common Questions About What’s Included
Does the cage come with a lid?
No, lids are optional. Many customers add them if they have cats, dogs, or children.
Are fleece liners included?
Not automatically. You can add them to your basket if you’d like ready-made, washable liners.
Will my correx arrive flat or folded?
It depends on the cage size. Larger bases arrive folded for easier shipping, but they fold neatly into shape.
Do I need to buy cable ties separately?
No, we include them with every order.
