For far too long, we had been suffering (the humans, that is) with a mostly recycled-paper cage, with the U-Haul & fleece combos just in the loft. The years of expense, effort, and time involved in cleaning & replenishing a large C&C cage were finally wearing us out. The very day we received the kitchen and placed it in the cage, with fleece liners in all the rest, was a happy day! And best of all, our guinea pigs were intrigued and seemed to love the convenience themselves. Don't hesitate! The biggest decision to make is which color to pick. :)
