How Many Guinea Pigs Can I Keep In This Cage ?

[Ella'sPiggy's]

Hi, I'm going to use this run as a Guinea pig cage. I haven't got my piggys yet but I'm just planning about it. I want to et 3 Guinea pigs. Would this be big enough to for all 3 of them? Also could I just put a blanket at the bottom as their bedding ?

Are they being kept indoor or outdoors?

It doesn't say how big the pen is. From the pic it looks big, but I've seen similar pens advertised that are actually quite small in reality. Definitely find out the dimensions.

Regarding bedding, a fleece blanket is fine but make sure it is prepped well so that it wicks moisture away, and then you must also put an absorbent layer underneath the blanket, like towels or puppy pee pads etc.

I've just figured out the measurements of the pen if it was in a rectangle (99cm x 33cm) and it wouldn't be near big enough for 3 pigs.
The minimum recommended size for 3 pigs is at least 150cm x 60cm.

It wouldn't be tall enough either.Minimum height is 36cm high.Way too small for two .Puppy pens are pretty good.

Sorry but that is too small and too flimsy for 3 piggies.

As far as I can work out by the measurements that wouldn't even be big enough for 1 pig. Could you not try a c&c cage? X
