Does anyone here have C&C cages for guinea pigs and also have dogs at home??

I currently have a ferplast 120 and a bigger cage (not sure one make, its a good 1.5m by 70cm) connected together buy a ramp for two guinea pigs, but they do look really untidy. I choose to do this over a C&C cages as I have dogs in the house, who show very little interest but you never know.

Does anyone use C&C grids with dogs about, how have you made a sturdy lid if you have, thanks.

I dont have guinea pigs yet but I am a member of the guinea pig forum and someone had made a c&c cage and had used the grids to make a stand for it so the dog couldn't get to them as they were high up, very clever!
Also people use the c&c grids as a lid and just tie it down so nothing can shove it off.

I have 2 dogs and don't think its safe to have a c&c cage. I have something similar to a c&c cage but it has high sides so the dogs can't get in.

I used to have a HUGE c&c set up (5x4 sqaures) - double height with 2 upper tiers of 5x2 (honestly took up the whole of the conservatory!) - I kept changing the layout when I found it hard to clean and had to allow for easier access.

I had to use a lid because of the cats and my dogs are borders so the terrier instinct was far too strong to risk.

Anyway, to make a lid I used the c&c squares with lengths of wood attached along the length with cable ties. I also used wood in the frame of the cage to give added strength. The cats used to sleep on the lid so it must've been ok!

Hopefully this should give you an idea of my layout. In the end, after getting sick of the impossible cleaning task I ended up with one mahoosive single level cage. x
