Default looking for USED C&C cage supplies, FL

Hello,

We are builing a larger home for our Guinea Pig, and are trying to be frugal. If someone in the Brevard County / Orlando/ Indian River County area has some to sell, we would like to buy. If a super friendly guinea comes with it we will gladly accept it also.

Thank you,
Robin
We are located in South Brevard Co, Fl

Apelado - Look around and see if you have any builder's recycling centers near you. I built by large GP cage (including 2 lofts) for about $7.00 by using recycled materials. Items I used.

- Large sheet metal dog crate pan as a base
- Used political sign/s for the coroplast bottom
- Leftover/discarded closet organization shelving for the sides (instead of cubes)
- Leftover garden drainage piping (corrugated black plastic tubing) for the ramp

Much of what you need can be found for cheap/free. Sometimes you will see the shelving being thrown out at the curb. After an election you can legally remove the coroplast election signs from public property or you can go into an election headquarters in your area and ask them to give you some signs after the election is over. (If they hesitate explain that you are trying to recycle and would hate to see these signs end up in a landfill instead of being reused as something else). You can also call sign shops and ask if they have any misprinted coroplast signs that you could have (or buy cheap).

Get creative and think outside the box. Keep your eyes open as you drive around and you will see that people throw away all sorts of stuff that you could use.

OOOOOHHHH, Well thank you. I will be using the tubing for a ramp (as your idea) and contacting the sign manufacturere for a misprint.
Thank you.

Still we would like to still use the square grids.
