Cage Size

Is a 30 inch by 60 inch cage big enough for three guinea pigs?

 

[Siikibam]

I think so. Though there may not be much space by the time you put in three hides etc.

Thank you! We have two guinea pigs and that cage size, but we are adding to make a group because we have a senior guinea pig that is 8

That measurement equates to 152cm x 76cm which is the measurement of a 2x4 c&c cage which is only big enough for two piggies.
For three piggies you need 180cm long (30 inches x 70 inches (just over)) roughly

Mhmm, we were going to make our cage into a 3 by 4 if we got three, because I want then to have space

Are your piggies female?

 

[muffinmarshmallow1]

Yes

My bad ignore me!

You can make whatever shape as long as you use at least 14 grids

 

[muffinmarshmallow1]

We usually just make rectangle

 

[Siikibam]

You could make it a 4x3 or 2x5

I think I am going to do 4 by 3 but we have to get more coroplast from Home Depot first

You could also use plastic sheeting for the flooring. Does your senior pig live next to them already? Just be aware that trips can sometimes end up with an outsider.

 

[muffinmarshmallow1]

Do you mean does my senior pig live in the same cage right now as the new one I am thinking to adopt? If so, than no.
I am just fostering right now

 

[Siikibam]

I meant is she living next to the ones you’ll be bonding her with, or you’ve yet to find them?

 

[muffinmarshmallow1]

They are near each other, but I have to decide by the end of the week because they want her back at the rescue
