Is this cage size ok?

[guineathepiggy]

I used to house my Guinea Pigs in a Kaytee Starter Kit cage (recommended by pet store), and then I did more research and decided to build a C&C cage
I only had a limited space to put the cage on, so I ended up with a 1x4 attached to a 1x1. Is this enough space for my 2 guinea pigs? How can I make the most out of it?

I’m afraid a 1x4 c&c cage is not big enough.
Two female piggies need a 2x4 c&c, two Male piggies need a 2x5 c&c

There's a 1x1 compartment too

If boars you need to use at least 14 grids. If sows you need to use at least 12 grids. If the 1x1 is on an upper floor then it’s still not enough.

but I thought the minimum was 7.5 square ft and mine is 7.6

a 1x4 c&c measures 35cm x 150cm, so broadly only just over 5 square feet, add on the 1x1 and it only makes 6 square feet. It’s not big enough

This isn’t big enough for your two piggies. It would be like you living in the hallway!

8sq feet for two sows or a boar and sow.
10sq feet for two boars.
