What bases do you need for a C and C guinea pig cage?
Coroplast. It's corrugated plastic (corrugated like cardboard). You get a big sheet of it, cut and fold it how you prefer, and tape it with packing tape. This site has excellent instructions and can help you find a place to purchase coroplast. .guineapigcages.com/howto.htm
What is a c and c cage?
A C&C cage is really called a cubes and coroplast cage. The cubes part is the wired organizational racks that you can make shelves out of. Coroplast is thebrand name of a corrugated plastic that comes in different colors and different sized sheets. To make a C&C cage you cut slits in the corners of the Coroplast (you can use any type of corrugated plastic) and fold them up so that you get a shallow box. The wired "cubes" come with connectors that you attach to the shelves to make kind of a fence around the Coroplast box. If you trace around the fence before you cut the Coroplast, and then add 6 inches to each side and the top and bottom, then cut 6 inches deep on the corners, the box will fit perfectly inside of the fence. If you don't want a C&C cage, then you can always go with the Midwest Guinea Pig Habitat, which I have and is very nice and spacious. For more information go to cavycages.com

Is a guinea pig cage the same size as a rabbit cage?
No I would get a slightly smaller cage than a rabbit cage guinea pigs are a little bit smaller than rabbits so they don't needquite as much space. Also take into consideration that rabbits have paws and guinea pigs have instead very sensitive feet so it is not advisable to put a guinea pig in a cage designed for rabbits. This is because rabbit cages often have a wire bottom which makes cleaning a lot easier, however a wire bottom will definitely hurt the guinea pigs feet- sometimes to the point in which they have to see a vet for treatment.
When do you clean a guinea pig cage?
I try to clean my guinea pig's cage around once a week or when it looks dirty.
