 Thank You!
We would like to send a HUGE THANK YOU to Bonnie Branch Middle School in Elliot City, MD. The 8th grade students raised funds as part of a service-learning project and selected OC Cavy Haven as the organization to receive the donations.
Being a smaller volunteer-based rescue we depend on donations and the generosity of others. The donation you sent will be used to assist us in rescuing more abandoned guinea pigs and help pay for they food, supplies, and necessary medical care. We encourage you to share your story with other schools in your area about our rescue.
Thank you!

C & C Cage Warning
If you are building your own C&C cage, we do NOT recommend you buy grids at Target!
Target has recently changed the design of their grids that people commonly use for C & C cages. The brand name of the grids was Organize It.
The "old" grids were 9 SQUARES ACROSS and safe for guinea pigs. However, there are now only combination boxes of grids that are 8 squares across and 5 squares across.
Please do not use anything but the 9 square grids as the ones with 8 grids have larger holes (spacing over 1.5 inches), are DANGEROUS to guinea pigs and have resulted in tragic accidents.
Target has seemingly phased out all their old grids and only carry the new unsafe ones. Target.com does carry the Whitmor brand of storage grids which are safe. You can order them online and have them shipped to you. WalMart.com carries the same grids and you can have them shipped site to store without paying a shipping fee.
Sometimes Bed Bath and Beyond or KMart will carry grids as well.
Note: Many sellers on ebay and other sites are selling C&C cages with the unsafe grids. If you are ordering online, please make sure you order a cage with the proper grids. Sue's store is one of the safe places to order: http://guineapigcages.com/buycc.htm
We also have grids for sale if you have trouble finding them locally.
