4 reasons to add a stand to your guinea pigs C&C cage

With so many options to choose from, you might be wondering whether to pick a C and C cage with a stand or not. In this short article, we share some of the reasons why we think stands are an excellent add-on to your C&C guinea pig cage. 

In the wild, guinea pigs are prey to many predators, including birds of prey. As a reason, guinea pigs tend to panic when someone reaches out to them from above. 

Adding a c and c stand to your cage prevents this, by putting you and your pets at the same level. Guinea pigs kept in a cage with a stand are noticeably less stressed and more easily tamed than if your pen is at floor level. 

If your guinea pig cage is on the floor, you will have to bend down or squat for every interaction with your pigs, and every clean-up. In the long run, this could be not very pleasant and lead to decreased interaction and level of care. 

Guinea pigs come with a variety of supplies: hay, food, bedding, toys, medicines, etc.. A stand will conveniently create storage space under the C&C cage to put them away. 

C and C Cages with a stand are impressive and noticeable. Expect to receive many compliments from visitors. There now exists a large variety of baskets and storage bins to place in the stand and prettify the cage.
