cage advice

Hi all! We’re looking to get 2 guinea pigs in a couple of weeks (is 2 an ok number or should we get 3?). They’ll live outside while it’s warm and we’ll bring them in during the winter. I’ve read SO many different views online that I’m even more confused than before I researched! Could you...

I've bought this cage off Facebook for my two guineas and I'm really not sure about it. It's the Little Friends one. Has anyone got one of these and finds it Ok? I've got visions of one of my babies falling down the hole! The ramp doesn't look securely attached to me either. Not sure if just me...

Is 70" by 40" okay for a boar an 4 sows? They're all in a 6ft by 3ft cage right now and seem quite happy. I keep retaking measurements and checking how big it needs to be but I'm lost at this point and I'm not sure I can make it much bigger than this without including levels which don't really count

Hi everyone, if you haven’t read any of my recent posts, I have just brought home 2 rescue girls on Sunday and so far I do think they have settled alright as they are eating, coming out of wherever they are hiding, and are allowing me to hand feed them (sometimes handle out of the cage but I...

Hi I have one male guinea pig who is about a year and a half old and I don’t want to use the cage I have. I heard C&C cages are better and easier. I want one enough for 2 guinea pigs because I plan on getting another soon. I heard 2x4 is perfect for 2 Guinea pigs, is that true? I just need some...

Cleon has been kinda weird since I put him back in his cage yesterday. He only got his nails done. I cleaned out his cage when we got home then put him back in his cage. When I put him back I left for a couple hours at around 3:30 and didn’t check on him until about 9 or 9:30. He hasn’t pooped...

Hi! I've been thinking about having guinea pigs for some times now and have read and watch a lot of thing on the subject, but I have some question unanswered. First, the only place where I could fit the cage, in my room, doesn't exactly fit the measurement required. It would be 27" x 59" at...

What is a suitable indoor cage size for 4 guinea pigs? I cannot seem to find one suitable for 4 on the pets at home website, the largest indoor one was 50x120x58cm. Any suggestions of where could I get one big enough?

my boars are not the best of friends at the moment. They are currently separated for fear they may cause some serious damage. They are in a 5ft double hutch at the moment in the shed. I want to give them more space but wanted your ideas and input? I am going to give them half of my 6x8ft shed...

Hello, I am looking to buy my 3 girls (currently only 6 weeks old) a new home as they are eating and growing fast! They live indoors and was thinking a hutch would be better for us as our cat is very interesred in them. I also have 3 children so i thought a hutch would be more sturdy and...

Hi! I'm planning a new cage and would love to hear your thoughts on my plan for it. I'm particularly interested in how happy four sows would be with this much space. I've done a little sketch showing the dimesions. If my workings are correct, the pigs would have 1.4 sq m which I believe is...

Is 35 by 75 cm cage big enough for 2 piggies

Hi I'm wanting a new cage for my 3 boars. They're currently in a one-story 5x2 C&C cage but I'm not comfortable with it as it doesn't seem sturdy enough and bits keep popping out of the connectors, and I really hate the correx / plastic stuff! I've found this one online: Lounge Small Pet Cage...

Hi. I'm building a new cage for my male pigs on Thursdsy, and I was wondering is there any good, cheaper substitutes to coroplast ? It's really expensive and it seems like there is more practical solutions to the bottom of the fleece than that... My dad ordered a grid kit online for my c@c that...
