C & C Cage Warning

Target 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 us spread the word. Thank you!
