housing

Hi there! I recently got a new desk and am planning on sanding it a little and finishing it with linseed or even Danish oil. The desk is right next to my guinea pig cage, both under the window. Linseed oil would work better but Danish oil I believe is safer. I’m not sure about sanding the desk...

Hi! I’m desperately seeking advice rn on bonding. To cut a long story short… years ago I adopted a single Guinea pig from a rescue. Not knowing much at the time… I had no knowledge of said Guinea pig needing a companion but over a short amount of time I realised that he needed a friend. 2 years...

Hello! I have 3 male Guinea pigs and I’m looking for advice on their housing/relationship situation. First of all, I’ve got two together and the third pig is by himself (right next to the other cage, they still interact!) Two of my boys have been together from the start, over a year old now. One...

Hi everyone, hope you’re all well. Since my boys Kip and Bobby died in January and February I’m down to two boys, Ollie and Eggs. I would love to take in another piggy who needs a home, but I’m so stretched for space. It’s not an exact figure because the c&c cage is L shaped, but Ollie and...

I'm moving and I'm going to be transitioning from my current C&C cage to a sleeker looking custom cage. My office is moving and a lot of old office furniture is being donated so I'm thinking of using office furniture to build a cage. I'm thinking bookshelf as the part of the cage where the...

My beautiful boar boy Flynn loves to knock his hide over every chance he gets. I mean every chance. If I correct it, 3 mins tops until he knocks it over again. This would be fine; except my little lady Piglet enjoys her hides so ultimately, it's not working in her favour. I looked on the...

Hi everyone. Does this look ok for side by side living accommodation after a failed bonding? On the left, I have a lone sow. On the right, I have a previously bonded pair of sows. The bond for a trio didn’t work and we ended up with blood drawn 😔 Thank you in advance. Xx

My birthday is coming up and I'm looking for new housing for my pigs as I'm getting my room re-done, does anyone know if the: "Ferplast Plaza 160 Small Pet Cage" is suitable? The price is pretty good and the measurements (162 x 60 x 50 cm) seem large, I just want my pigs to have enough space...

Hi guys, so I’m thinking about getting an indoor c & c cage, but I’ve noticed that there are several to choose from! I literally have no idea where to start. I have seen single and double ones, ones that have a ramp and ones that do not (can you buy a ramp separate?) and ones with a loft. So...

I was hoping for opinions and advice for a DIY cage I'm in the process of designing! I was originally inspired by the Squeak Dreams (off you tubes) DIY cage and made this design (unsure on including the platform or not at the moment) for my two piggies based on that using contiboard and...

Hi! Just bought a bendable bridge from pets at home and i just became aware of what if their nails get caught in the gaps if they try and climb over it?I’m mostly concerned as i have a 5 month old gp and she loves to climb on things and she has the tiniest and sharpest nails. Is there anything i...

So I am buying piggies this summer, 2 girls. I am setting things up this month before we get them. I have bought a small playhouse, 4x4, I am planning to insulate with reflective bubble insulation and then go over with plywood. First question is how far up the wall do I need to cover with...

I'm thinking about getting this for my boys, but wasn't sure if the wood was safe, since it will be inevitably chewed lol :P. If not does anyone have anything similar? Guinea Pig/Small Animal Shelter House Castle Hideout

I have 2 female guinea pigs (which have decided to hide under the fleece) and I was wondering if this was a good enough cage for them. I would have a big floor cage but I also have ferrets who run around the room.

hi all, new to the forum so if I muck anything up please forgive me! my (two) guinea pigs currently live in the dining room in two cages pushed together, but this year I'm cleaning out the garage and will be able to move them into there, so I want to make them a nice new enclosure. I was...
