We are thinking of getting a couple of guinea pigs. Primarily these will be the kids’ and they are old enough to help care for them now, age 11 and 9. However I’d quite like to have guinea pigs too and will no doubt do most of the caring.
We are lacking in space and hoping to move in the next 12 months. Right now we have a small space we can put them inside (too many foxes to risk outdoors). It’s a trapezoid (triangle with the pointed top cut off) shape. Roughly 5ft (150cm) wide tapering to 3ft (90cm) with 3ft 6in (110cm) sides.
Initially I was thinking of a smaller two tier cage/hutch with separate play area. Now I’m wondering if we can build a C&C cage to best fit the irregular shape and a smaller cage for cleaning out and vet trips only. Any idea if this is possible and if this is enough space or if there’s something else to consider? We will have storage outside for hay/food/bedding eg.
Thanks.
