Cages Help

[EllaBellaPiggys]

Hi, all my life I have wanted Guinea pigs so I've gave in and decided I'm going to get them. First of all I cannot afford all these c&c cages so don't suggest them please. I'm getting a 120 cm cage ( Indoor Rabbit Cage Guinea Pig Hutch Hay Rack Water Bottle House Accessories NEW ) and I just wounded how many pigs do u suggest I get? I will be at school 6 hours on weekdays but I will give them floor time before and after school. How many shall I get? Thanks X

That size is really only suitable for 2 I think, three wouldn't have enough space to get away from each other if needed. There's a really good sticky on cage sizes on here, but I've no idea how to link to it!

Two piggies in a 120cm cage no more as it is only big enough for two.

Have a read of this thread for other things you'll need Getting Guinea Pigs? Items You'll Need To Buy?

If ever you want to link to a sticky go onto the page then copy the address from the address bar and paste it Hope that helps

That's £15 more expensive then my huge c & c cage! But if you like it I'm sure it's ok. Yes there's s great page here about cage sizes. Good luck with your pigs! I wanted pigs for years too before I got mine recently

Ah, I'm on an iPhone - it doesn't display the whole web address - that'll be why I can't do it!

Iphones are very annoying for that. That'll be why. Good sound advice though so thanks

I was going to say the same thing. I got my c and c cage off eBay for £35. It was called c and c starter kit. It's got enough connectors and grids to make a 6x3 cage and a 1x1 loft, which is big enough for about 4 possibly 5 piggies. But of course it doesn't have to be built that big.

And for the waterproof floor I used corex from eBay that was £10 but you could use tarpaulin which will do the same job but is only £2-£4.

However the cage you have suggested is fine, but only for 2 piggies and they would need lots of floor time to exercise.
