2x4 Cage Includes

  • (12) 14" Grids in black or white (powder-coated and SAFE inner holes 1 3/8")
  • (24) Connectors in black or white, matching the grid color
  • 4mm Coroplast bottom in your choice of 16 colors!
    The base is pre-cut and pre-scored with pre-punched holes to secure flaps using snap-in plastic rivets (not tape). Coroplast base is creased and folded for shipping, which creates an indented "crush" line. This does not affect the functionality of the cage. It's barely noticeable when fully assembled.
  • Rivets for fastening all Coroplast flaps
  • Cable ties that match the grid color. (Using cable ties to reinforce the grid connections helps make the cage extra tight and super secure.)
  • Easy-to-follow, color assembly instructions with photos
  • Two-page Guinea Pig Care Sheet

Kitchen Suite Includes:

  • The Cavy Cafe Kitchen insert
  • The Cavy Canopy - a swing-up cover to provide that sense of security that will encourage your piggies to potty and use the kitchen area instead of the rest of the fleece-lined cage.
  • The Cavy Backsplash which helps keep loose hay and bedding contained in the Kitchen.

Hearty Hay Buffet Includes

  • (1) 12" x 10" x 6" Coroplast Hay Buffet, cut and scored
  • (4) Plastic Rivets
  • (2) Black Binder Clips

How many Guinea Pigs will fit in a 2x4?

  • Up to 2 adult guinea pigs comfortably. It varies a bit depending upon your group. This is the recommended cage size for two guinea pigs. Males typically need a bit more room than females and while this cage can work, we ideally recommend a 2x5 size for two males.
  • It would be possible to house a well-bonded group of 3, but 4 would really pushing it in this size cage. Keep in mind with more guinea pigs in a smaller cage, it's also more work to keep it clean.
  • ONE guinea pig needs at least a 2x3 grid-sized cage. This cage size is really too small to divide, so you should make your decision wisely if you suspect you may have to divide the cage. In that case, you should go with a larger size to start with.

I KNOW this cage will fit in my space!


I've read the cage dimensions and have measured my space. GRIDS are 14", NOT a 12" FOOT! For example: 2x4 Grids needs 2.5 x 5 FEET of space.

We bought two young guinea pigs and thought we had a good enclosure. BUT the cleanup was absolutely horrendous! After three months, we finally found and switched to this starter kit from Cagetopia and it has made ALL THE DIFFERENCE! The piggies are happy and I am a much happier mom/cage cleaner :) I will say because our piggies were used to fleece hidies…we did need to add Velcro between the liner and the fleece to keep them from burrowing under it and it’s worked great!

I can’t make decisions and want to be able to change designs any time. This is the perfect set up of products. If you want to do it. They sell the options to do it. Down to the zip ties. I literally want to put flyers for this company in Pet stores so that people only buy from Cagetopia. #1

C&C cage with kitchen set up

Our two new piggies had been in a baby pool which was a smaller area and they were greatly relieved to have the extra square footage in the new C&C cage. As soon as they got in, they begin to explore and chirp excitedly! The set up is great, we have it on top of a low table that is on casters, and everyone is able to enjoy easy access to our piggies. And the piggies can enjoy what’s going on around them also! The kitchen area ith paper bedding in it, and using the fleece for the rest of the C&C cage, has been a really great solution to constant cleanup (see hybrid setup suggestions).

Great CC Cage

I am very pleased with my new 2 x 4 guinea pig cage from cagetopia. My two girls couldn’t stop popcorning they were so excited. The cage was easy enough for me 74 year old grandmom and my 12 year old granddaughter to put together without any help. I was worried that my girls would climb out without a cage top but they are so happy they don’t try to escape! I also bought the stand and feel it was well worth it, is sturdy and makes it easier for me to clean everything in the cage. I would certainly buy from cagetopia again!
