New Born Pup
I am thinking about getting a couple of guinea pigs from a rescue, i plan on building a cage, it will be an inside cage. Is 3.5ft x 3.5ft be big enough for 2? I can go a little longer in length but not much more
I am not that fussed about the gender as the ones i have looked at have been Neutered. The rescue seems to do that for all of them3.5 x 3.5 = 12.25 ft sq
This means that you can look at any pairs, bonded boars, mixed pairs or sow pairs as long as this is compatible with what the rescue is asking for. If you are honest and willing to go along with improvement solutions, then this should not be a problem.
Most rescues struggle to find homes for their boar pairs because of the bad press they have - but it is all down to personality compabitibility. Over all, boars are generally happier to interact with humans and they mellow as they age and the testosterone goes down while sows tend to go the opposite way because their hormone output never stops.
Mixed pairs are the most stable of all - but it always comes down to the unique mix of personalities in the end.
