4 reasons to add a stand to your C&C guinea pig cage
With so many options to choose from, you might be wondering whether to pick a C&C guinea pig 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 cage. 

Top reasons why you should add a stand

You have your indoor guinea pig cage ready and as your floofs begin exploring their new home, you might be asking yourself whether there's anything else you should be adding to their cage. Besides packing it full with entertaining accessories and must-haves (like this handy Hay Bag to keep their hay all in one place!), there are a few other extras that could make piggy parenthood easier, like a stand. But let's see in more details why a stand for your guinea pig cage can be a good idea! 

Reason 1: It can make your guinea pigs less stressed 

In the wild, guinea pigs are prey to many predators, including birds of prey. As such, they tend to panic when they see someone reaching out for them from above
Adding a 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 ones in a cage at floor level.

Reason 2: It can greatly improve the user-friendliness of the cage 

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. 
Once you add a stand to your indoor guinea pig cage, your next cleaning routine will be kinder on your back, and picking your piggy up will be a breeze in comparison (and way less scary for your sweet floof!).

Reason 3: It creates extra storage space 

Guinea pigs require a variety of supplies and accessories to thrive, ranging from hay to toys, bedding, water bowl/bottle, and much more. While some can easily fit within their cage, others like a medical kit for emergencies or grooming kit for daily care will need to be easy to find when needed, but be stored elsewhere.
A cage stand automatically creates extra space where you can add storage boxes to store every essential. Not only is this handy, it can also be a great way to further decorate their home with all the fun patterns Kavee has available!

Reason 4: It allows you to be more creative with set-ups 

Part of the fun of setting up an indoor guinea pig cage is to let your creativity run wild and decorate their home however you please. Whether you'd like to keep a coherent theme across everything from liners to accessories, or wish to mix things up, a cage stand gives you another opportunity to personalise your guinea pig cage.
Expect to receive many more compliments from your visitors, as this stand will really show off how pretty your cage is, and how cute your guinea pigs are!
