A step-by-step guide to fitting the Little Friends X-PART metal stand under a 100cm rabbit or guinea pig cage, with checks for size, stability, and safe indoor setup.

Quick answer

Fit the stand by matching its footprint to your cage base, assembling it on a level floor, and securing the cage so it cannot slide. The Little Friends X-PART stand is sized for 100cm rabbit and guinea pig cages, but always check your cage's exact base dimensions before ordering.

Why the stand footprint matters more than the cage label

A cage sold as 100cm may measure slightly differently at the base once panels, trays, or clips are fitted. The stand supports the cage at its base, so the base dimensions, not the nominal cage length, decide whether it sits securely. Measure the outside of the cage base at its widest points and compare that to the stand's overall size. If the base overhangs the stand significantly, the cage can flex or tip when your pet moves suddenly.

When raising the cage off the floor is worth it

Raising a rabbit or guinea pig cage off the floor can make cleaning easier and lift the cage away from cold floors and drafts. It also brings the cage door closer to a comfortable handling height for many owners. The trade-off is that a raised cage needs a stable base and must not block your pet's view or make the cage harder to access. If you have very young children or a pet that climbs, keep the cage lower or secure the stand carefully.

Fitting steps

Measure the cage base: Turn the cage upside down or measure its base from the outside edges. Note the length and width, including any tray lip or clips. If the base is wider than 54 cm or longer than 99 cm, the stand may not support it safely.
Assemble the stand on a level floor: Build the stand where it will be used, on a hard, level surface. Tighten all connections firmly but do not overtighten. A wobbly stand on carpet may need a thin board underneath for stability.
Place the cage on the stand: With help, lift the empty cage onto the stand and center it so no side overhangs more than a few centimeters. Never slide the cage across the stand; lift it to avoid scratching or tipping.
Secure the cage to the stand: Use the cage's existing clips or add safe ties to stop the cage sliding. Check that door openings and trays still work freely. If the cage can move more than a finger's width, add a non-slip mat between cage and stand.
Check stability with weight: Press gently on each corner of the empty cage. Then add bedding and your pet and watch for rocking or flexing. Remove the stand and reassemble if any corner lifts or the cage creaks.
