Banana
Junior Guinea Pig
Hello Everyone,
I'm new here, I've spent a few hours lurking and reading through the mine of information on the forum and I'd like to ask a question.
I've kept guinea pigs most of my life and having had a break of about 4 years would like to get back to a piggie place! My pigs have always previously been kept outside, allowing me to construct nice big outdoor houses, but this time I'd really like them to live inside so I can spend a bit more time with them.
Our living room would best suit a cage that's about 120-130cm long. There seem to be a number of 120 long styles available, but having visited some rescue websites many of them state that the minimum area needs to be more than that. I don't want to be keeping pigs in substandard accommodation. My question is this: Is 120 x 60 too small for 2 pigs? Can anyone recommend a particular cage style?
I was taken with this one:

but it's out of stock and they seem to have no idea about when it's coming back in.
Many thanks!
