Oh my gosh you don't need $70. Buy a big rubbermaid container and put bedding in it. You don't need a lid and he can't climb out.

Most of the time the cages at a local pet shop is under $70.00.

I found mine online though.

Ebay would be a good place to check. : )

You can make guinea pig cages with cubes and coroplasts. These cages are big and spacious. Once you have the things that you need they don't cost that much money to run... I don't know the exact price as this will depend on how much room you want for your guinea pig and in turn how many cubes and coroplasts you will need. Check out the site below for help if you want to pursue this type of cage.

From my experience you don't need a closed in hutch if it is inside, you just need to make sure that it is high enough as guinea pigs can jump. Don't ever let someone tell you that they cant.
