Babyproofing a Midwest Habitat Cage

[Sef]

Any suggestions on this? We adopted little Barnaby a few weeks ago, and I have been waiting until he got a little bigger before introducing him to one of our adults. The problem is that the two adults I'm considering both live in a Midwest Habitat cage. I'm a little worried about the spacing on the bars.

What do you guys think?

We went to hardware store/warehouse and bought some chicken wire with small holes then used cable ties and put on the barrier. They could still smell and sought of touch but little Jersey couldn't get out. www.bunnings.com.au/rapidmesh-900-x-1200mm-25-x-25mm-wire-mesh-panel_p0087124?gclid=EAIaIQobChMIpLPGnff-7QIVWwwrCh02Ug-aEAQYAiABEgICL_D_BwE&gclsrc=aw.ds

Even after introducing we have left it on as it is amazing what she can squeeze through and she is now 15 months old. Hope this helps.

Or you can buy garden edging it's about 6 inches high and you can just put around the cage and peg it to the wire. www.bunnings.com.au/whites-150mm-x-6m-corrugated-plastic-garden-edging_p3320602?gclid=EAIaIQobChMIhZ22vvf-7QIVERwrCh1ksA1vEAQYECABEgJa4_D_BwE&gclsrc=aw.ds

Hope the links work. Hoping I have helped some what. You can even buy chicken wire with a frame around edges. www.trafficsafety.com.au/de-fence-machinery-guarding.html?gclid=EAIaIQobChMI3dev_ff-7QIVEg4rCh2hRAe4EAQYBSABEgKbtPD_BwE

Chicken wire does work, but you have to be careful and make sure you secure every pokey on the ends of it. If there's even one pokey, the guinea pigs will find it and injure themselves. There are other cages with small spaces in them that you might be able to get second hand, take apart and piece together to the sides of your Midwest Habitat Cage.
