Junior Guinea Pig
Have an appt at a rescue on Sunday and hope to be bringing home 2 female guinea pigs. We are organised at home i think but quick question about transport home - about a 45 min trip. Will they be ok together in the one cat carrier? It is a smallish one. What is best to pop in it so they'll be as comfy as possible? Newspaper and an old towel? Should I put in some hay? Should I take a box as well if its best they travel separately. I figured they'd feel safer together but would love to hear some transporting tips from you as we are very new to this.
We have a 120cm x 60cm cage, plastic base. (Largest I could find.) Have a pigloo and one of those bendy stick type shelters, 2 water bottles, 2 ceramic food bowls for pellets/veg, a hay rack. Some fleece cosy sack type things. 2 lap mats coming Monday. Have kiln dried dust extracted wood shavings and also care fresh to try out for bedding. Have a big bag of Timothy hay and some oxbow pellets. I'm guessing we should get some of whatever they've been eating at the rescue then transition gradually to our supplies? Veggie shopping Sunday and will check what their favourites are with he lady from the shelter. Can't wait to meet them.
