C & C Cage WarningTarget has recently changed the design of some of their grids that people commonly use for C & C cages. The brand name of the grids is Organize-It wire storage and they usually come in a green cardboard box. Please be aware that there are now THREE different styles of grid under this name at Target. The "old" grids were 9 SQUARES ACROSS and safe for guinea pigs. However, there are now grids that are 8 squares across, and a combination box that has grids 8 squares across and also grids that are 5 squares across.
Please do not use anything but the 9 square grids as the ones with 8 grids have larger holes and are DANGEROUS to guinea pigs and have resulted in tragic accidents. You will have to look carefully over the boxes to make sure you have the 9 square grids because they all look the same. The pictures on the box may give you a clue but if you can't tell, open the box and take a look! And please help spread the word. Thank you!

Woohoo, some of our photos are featured in a Finnish guinea pig book: Marsu voi hyvin by Arja Linnavuori. This is so exciting!Navigation/Content
Due to the fact that the site structure has changed, subsequently, the navigation also changed. You will find four main themes.
- Information - Here you'll find everything that would fall under guinea pig information: Some health tips, maintenance, feeding, behavior, and some more general stuff. Some parts are still missing.
- Miscellaneous - Here you find things that are still considered to be informational but don't fall under the categories mentioned above. Miscellaneous topics are: Links to other great guinea pig sites, books about guinea pigs, some info about the technical aspects of this site, and the unavoidable ;-) 'about me' page.
- My Pigs - Here you find the pages about my own pigs. Every pig has it's own page and on the start page you can find frequent updates on what's going on with them.
- Photo Gallery - Like the name implies, here you find the cavy photo gallery.
- The links to the main topics can always be found in the header of each page and also on the left hand side.
- The site has a new URL: en.knoeddelmeister.com
