Is the rolling base on this small animal cage removable?
http://www.petsmart.com/product/index.jsp?productId=2751762&clickid=cart
Do you think the rolling base is removable? Also, is the height 17 in. with or without the wheels?
THANK YOU!
Answer:
Prob with the wheels and they dont look removable but no doubt they could be removed if you are DIY minded. I presume this is as a temp cage when you are cleaning out your big cage? Because that cage is too small for all the animals it says it can house in the description.

Cavy Cages: How to Make Sure Your Animals Have All They Need
If you'd like a cuddly, playful animal which is undemanding to care for, then you won't go far wrong with a guinea pig. They're all of these things and more, and it's easy to see why they've become one of the most popular household pets you can buy.
If you're thinking about getting some cavies, then it's crucial that you set up their cage properly, to keep them healthy and happy. These tips will ensure you get one that meets your animals' needs, and your budget:
A Cage or Hutch
Most people, especially first time owners, will tend to buy a traditional cage for their guinea pigs - these are the cages with the plastic floor and wire walls which are available in most pet stores.
The problem with these is that cavies are a lot bigger than other rodents, and as a result these cages often aren't large enough for your animals to run around. Without sufficient room, your guinea pigs can become agitated, depressed, and even violent.
To give your pets this extra space, you either need to find a much larger cage, or build one at home. This is much easier than it sounds - you can build a 'C&C' cage with ease, and it will provide your pets with a much better place to live.
Bedding
Cavies have very sensitive feet which can easily get hurt from walking on hard surfaces. To prevent this happening, it's important to provide your animals with a layer of good-quality bedding.
Start by covering the floor of the cage with paper, and top it with wood shavings or another suitable bedding material. This gives your pets a comfortable surface to walk on, protecting their feet.
Finishing Touches
Although it is tempting to fill your animals' cage with accessories, they really don't need them. In reality, the only thing they really do is take up space, making it more difficult for your pigs to run around.
You actually only need to provide your pets with two important items - a food bowl, and a water bottle or bowl. These should go in a corner of the cage, away from your pets' sleeping area, and be sure to refresh and clean them regularly, as they quickly become dirty.

To learn more about setting up your pets' cage, visit Pete's website. It covers topics including choosing an inexpensive but good-quality guinea pig bowl, and feeding your pets a variety of nutritious food including a guinea pig mix which will meet all of their nutritional requirements.
Pete has owned and loved cavies for several years, and loves sharing the information he has picked up to help others take better care of their pets.
