So I had my Guinea pigs separated since they each had babies and now I want to house them all together again yes I knw it will take time to reintroduce them all..... but what's a good housing for them 2 are in a cage from when we first adopted them and other 2 are in a large box yes they get floor time daily and are out for bout 2 hours a day or more. But I need to find a way to house them all any ideas or know of cheap good size housing to buy

A 2x6 c&c (converts to about 215x70cm) is the minimum for four piggies. You will have to do introductions on neutral ground.
Please give the ones in a box more than two hours floor time. That is not fair to keep them that way at all. Either that or set up a permanent play pen they can live in. They need space.

Oh all 4 get play time roam time all day actually the box is like for bed time. Down time (relax)Also for the past week I've been letting them all play and reintroduce them since had to separate since both moms had babies.
This is what all 4 are in now a big box but they've been roaming around all day. They seem pretty comfortable and content with each other...... I'm pretty sure I'm going to hear this box is to small for all 4 but it's what I can work with on short notice since cleaning out the other cage

So have you done the introductions and they’re now all together? When will they be in the cage again, and does it meet the minimum size they require?
I’m afraid I will tell you that the box is too small for four. They don’t have space to get away from each other or have a run round.It’s good they get roaming time all day but they also need space where they sleep.

This Saturday we getting a cage that's big enough for them and along with adding more hide aways..... yes I figured the box is small for them but it's temporary and the cage will be big enough so they have room to run and play..... how big and heavy do Guinea pigs get. I've always wondered since mine are all under the age of 1
