GuineaLoft™ Acrylic Cage (Model-A) - Large 4x2ft Open Cage for Guinea Pigs, Rabbits, Button Quails, Hedgehogs, Small Animals That Need Roaming Space - Visit The GuineaLoft Store to See More

I'm a long-time pig owner and have tried a lot of cages over the years (C&C, midwest, custom etc). I wanted to wait a few weeks of trying the GuineaLoft out before reviewing, and I've gotta say I LOVE this cage! ROOMY & MODULER: Great size for a pair of pigs. The walls are straight up so you get every inch of the 2x4' size. I'll be getting a second one soon-- it would be easy to attach a pair of them, and I just saw that official connector hardware is coming out too. I like that this is an evolving product really designed to meet the needs of pigs and those who love them. SHORT, CLEAR WALLS: The acrylic walls are crystal clear with little slots on the upper halves for pigs to lean on for the very important task of begging for treats. The walls are 10" tall which I find to be tall enough that they can't jump out (and I do have a jumper) and low enough that it's still easy for my 5'3" self to reach in and play with them/clean even with the cage 3' off the ground. I absolutely love that I can see the girls going about their little business with no coroplast in the way. It's like a whole new view into their lives. Anecdotally, this also seems to work in reverse-- I have two pigs who are extremely shy, and I honestly think they've been a bit less jumpy being in here, possibly because they can see me coming. EASY TO CLEAN: A proprietary liner system gave me pause when considering this purchase, but honestly I love it, and it will work with your preferred bedding. The cage liner has two parts-- the mat, which goes under everything to catch spills, and the cage bottom, which is the waterproof part that the pigs and their mess come in contact with. I've used the same mat for almost 3 weeks, because NOTHING gets past the disposable bottom! You could probably go without it, but it does catch mess from taking pigs out, adding hay, etc. You won't NEED to replace this often, but you can also toss it to make for even easier cleanup. As for the cage bottoms, they are great-- it even handled the mess of 4 pigs for a few days without any leakage, puddles, or smell. I have physical constraints that make fabric liner maintenance tough for me, so I love that I can use shavings, roll it up and toss it; to me, the cost of the replacements is worth it for the ease and accessibility. That said, there's no reason this wouldn't work with your preferred fleece or bath mat setup, which would further extend the life of the cage bottom. I found I've had to use less bedding, which has offset the cost of liners a bit. You could probably clean and reuse the cage bottoms a few times due to the waterproofing. The cage came with some wet wipes, but a damp cloth will get the walls perfectly clean with almost no effort. Not sure how this will play out in the long term with micro-scratches from normal daily wear and tear (which happens to any cage), but so far so good. AFFORDABLE: Amazing price for a cage of this size. There is the recurring cost of the liners, but as mentioned above, you can mitigate these costs if money is an issue. LOOKS GREAT: No shade to C&C cages, but personally I've always really disliked how they look, and they're not even the "ugliest" of the appropriately sized cages. Obviously making sure the piggies have a proper home is Priority #1, so I've just "dealt" with having cages I find to be an eyesore-- no more! I'm thrilled to have something that is good for my girls and also looks nice in my home. I'll be replacing my second cage with another GuineaLoft soon. CONSIDERATIONS: The cage feels sturdy for what it is (a thin acrylic frame with no bracing back/bottom) and the included hardware is obviously good quality, but I still have concerns about breakage over the long term, since the cage does flex dangerously when I move it to clean. This might be an issue of my technique. The cage system doesn't currently have options for storage/stands, so if you'll need your own stand if you'd like to have the cage off the ground. It also has no loft/second floor option at present. TLDR/CONCLUSION: A fantastic pig enclosure! I'm so glad I found this and took the chance on it, and I absolutely recommend it.

This cage comes as close to perfect for a DIY cage solution as I can think of. My son no longer uses his toddler race car bed so we decided to turn it into our piggy cage, and this product fits it incredibly easily. It’s as simple as a cardboard base, disposable guinea loft cage liners, fleece blanket layer and the 2x4 DIY cage on top. It all nestles inside the car perfectly. I even bought a few extra panels to use in the far corner so that when they climb to the top of the castle they still can’t get out, while the rest of the sides are low enough for easy spot cleaning and for my son to help and interact with the piggies. The holes all around the panels accommodate whatever we need, such as water and other accessories. They also serve the added purpose of holding my trash bags open while I’m cleaning (photos). I’m very happy with this product and if we ever get more piglets I’ll happily buy more panels to expand. It wasn’t difficult to put together and it’s more than sturdy enough. Most of all, the size/height of the panels are perfect, and the fact that it’s clear just presents more the illusion that the piglets “live in a car” (makes my 4 yr old extremely happy).

Good, quality enclosure for guinea pigs. They don't try to climb out which was something I was worried about as a new owner. This is a good-looking cage, it looks a lot better than a wire cage, it's very easy to upgrade and GuineaLoft has some great ideas on their Amazon store page. It's east to attach accessories to the wall like you can see in my picture I attached a water bottle. This cage is also a lot better value than anything else I have seen out there, and I definitely looked around a lot before going with this enclosure. My mom said she loved how it looks because it doesn't look like a cage at all but like a home for my pets. Most C and C cages of this size are at least twice the price of this one. I'm going to do a DUI project soon and attach a second-floor section and I will post more pictures and add to my review than as well. Overall, it's a great cage, I love how it's seen through and very easy to clean. It's also easy to expend it by purchasing two more panels you will add an extra 4 feet to the enclosure, or you can even add a second floor, like I mentioned earlier, and they even have instructions for all this on their user-friendly home page. I would certainly recommend that you go check it out. Take care of your fluffy potatoes!!!

WOW. If you have guinea pigs, just hit buy now lol. You can’t beat a habitat like this. It was easy to assemble, reasonably priced, and it looks beautiful. Thick acrylic, very sturdy, perfectly sized for what we need. Modular so we can add on later when we want. I attached my water bottle just fine to the side using wire going through the little holes at the top of the panel, easy peasy. Thanks GuineaLoft!!

Overall, this is a great cage for 2 piggies. PROS -Beautiful cage. It is aesthetically pleasing and neat to have a clear view of piggies from all angles. We have been more interactive with them. -The liners are incredible and really make it easier to have a new, clean cage bottom each week. -As with other 48 inch x 24 inch cages, there is a lot of room for piggie frolicking. -Assembly wasn’t complicated, and all the tools came with it. It took me over an hour by myself to get everything tightened. CONS -As other reviews have mentioned, I don’t know about the long-term wear and tear of rigid acrylic panels. There is no “safe” way to move them while cleaning to guarantee lack of stress on the joints. -The walls are only 10 inches high, which is why mine is on the floor. I don’t want to give my piggies the urge to roam now that they can see their domain, and have them fall from any height. -Lack of available accessories: there is currently not a manufactured lid, so for me there is no option but the floor for safety. -Lack of available accessories: there is also not an accompanying water bottle and the Lixit brand 32oz. I use (because it is large enough for 2 pigs and doesn’t leak!!!) is putting a lot of pressure on the acrylic side. I use a spring attachment to hold it on, and it is a pain to take off and refill. I have serious reservations about it cracking. The acrylic panel. -When emailing the seller I was told to “put dowel rods through the sides” to act as a lid. This is not only impractical, but a pain when you need to remove pigs or their items to clean it. They said both the mood and water bottle should be available a summer of 2023. REALITY -I am in love with the ease of lifting the cage panels to clean. -The liners are amazing-they make clean-up so much easier! -I also enjoy actually seeing my piggies. Their charming cuteness is why we are their slaves, after all.🤣 -The long-term concern of the fragility of the acrylic panels and the current lack of available accessories (lid and water bottle) will most likely have me returning it, which I don’t want to do.

The package insert says that designers are guinea pig owners too, and after putting it together, I believe it. It was very carefully and thoughtfully packaged, some of the nicest packaging I’ve ever seen. They even reused little acrylic circles that are punched out of the panel design, as a little tool you can use to scrape off the plastic film that protects the acrylic panels. It totally worked! My 12 year old son put most of it together with almost no help for me. The directions were very simple and easy to understand, and the construction is intuitive. I had my doubts about the thin waterproof paper tray that it sits on, which is disposable. I thought it would leak. But after four days of two guinea pigs in there, it has not leaked. I recommend adding some old cloth rags or shredded paper bedding to their fave sleeping area, just for comfort. I also put a folded up paper bag in the corner they like to pee in the most, and then I just roll it up and throw it away. And, like I said, even though the bag was pee-soaked after four days, the waterproof paper tray underneath was unblemished. I’m going to order more for when I get scruffy of course, but I might not even have to replace it as often as once a week. It is SO much easier than cleaning my old CNC cage with a big fabric quilted GuineaDad pad that needed to be laundered and that my washer would refuse to spin half the time because it was so heavy! Besides the cleaning factor, the cage is beautiful and attractive, with a whimsical design, just the right height, and we can see the pigs and the pigs can see us. My pigs drink out of a heavy stoneware bowl, so I don’t need to worry about attaching a water bottle to the acrylic panels, which I read can be tricky. Altogether a great purchase, worth the cash, and I’m so glad I found it!

Great for guinea pigs. I would just suggest to also get one of their lids as well! Great material. Easy to put together. Super sturdy and the perfect size.

I have tried so many cages for my two piggies. The ones with the metal top that come off, the ones with just the white plastic pieces with clips, and they were all a pain to clean. This one, is so easy to clean. Take the piggies out, take the top off the paper, roll up the paper with the bedding and toss. Clean up around the area, wipe the inside of the cage and put a new paper down. The most difficult parts are finding a space as it's pretty wide, (but my piggies love the running space) Assembly took quite a while, screws need to be checked each clean, and getting the bottom paper on and inside the edges can be tricky. My dog and the piggies became friends because of the no top and the piggies actually come out to greet the dog. It's sturdy enough to get climbed (or try to) on by the pigs, and get a big black nose sniffing around in it. It's so easy to give them hay, feed them and fill their water. Catching them is probably the hardest part. Definately would recommend.
