Bedding For Guinea Pigs - Overview

You have to separate your boy now. I know you’ve spent a lot of money on this and that, but you have to buy a cage of suitable size for each of them (120x60cm). They can live next to each other for now. But until he is neutered he needs to be kept away from all girls.
 
I've already bought the cats best!
But then you told me it wasn't good...
Please read the previous posts.
 
I'm confused.
You gave me conflicting information.
"They should be on bedding that clumps when wet. If you can find wood shavings they would work.
"
So I bought sawdust and now you tell me it's not good and go back to the previous platform!
 
Write that it is also suitable for rodents.
Secondly, I bought the first product (cats best) and told me it was dangerous and bought a simple sawdust.
I bought a simple sawdust and now you tell me it's poisonous and go back to the best cat.
 
Just because it says rodents on the package, does not mean it is safe. There are lots of products which are sold as suitable for rodents but are actually incredibly dangerous for them.
You need to do research before going out and buying anything - you cannot always by what the packaging says.

If you are unsure on what products to use, then please just use hay as bedding. Hay is the best thing for them. They will need to have lots of hay regardless of if you use any other type of bedding, so to save yourself some time, put hay everywhere in their cage.
 
Hey,
My dad bought me this cage ...
He seems destined for hamsters, what should he do with it?

What you do with the cage is a decision for you!
It’s certainly not big enough for guinea pigs
 
Sure they can't play it a little now and then?

There's nothing they could do in there. They'd only just fit. For them to play they need a floor space big enough for them to run and explore in. They wouldn't be interested as there's nothing for them to.do in such a small space.

:agr: That cage is completely unsuitable for guinea pigs.

I agree too. When I had a hamster that's the cage he had so I know from experience that wouldn't be nearly enough space. No hamster cage would
 
@Yoav I appreciate that it is difficult getting a purpose built cage from a pet shop. But please take the time to look through this section I will link, where people have made their own cages. Member Gallery: C&C cages/homemade cages
You can make a suitable enclosure that has the right sized floor space quite easily. many people make them from grids, or puppy pens.
 
The fan is about 80 cm from the cage.
Regarding the substrate - I will see what I do, I did not understand ...
Regarding the castration, the vet said he could be castrated at just three months, meanwhile, together.
They are very cowardly, don't let me get close to them.
About half of the cage is covered with 6 cm height of hay, they hide there.
I'm not releasing them in the room at the moment (they don't want to and they even ran away with me)
I would love it if anyone could give me an idea for a bedding other than hay.
And again, if anyone has any more tips on how I can scare them less / tell them how long it took you to get used to it - I'd love to.

The fan should not be pointing directly into the cage regardless, if doesn’t matter that it is 80cm away, it still should not be pointing directly into the cage

They must not be in the same cage while the Male is not castrated. Your female piggy is already likely pregnant. You are going to have to deal with that. They are not ok to be in the same cage

They are prey animals, they will likely always be scared to some degree, but after time they may become more comfortable - it could however take a couple of months before they aren’t scared. It’s simply how guinea pigs are. They are not cuddly creatures. One of my piggies is still nervous after two years.

We have linked in the bedding thread a couple of times - but I will add it again now. The beddings mentioned in this link are ok to be used. Bedding For Guinea Pigs - Overview

@Yoav. I am going to be very blunt here. You MUST remove your male from the female now.

We have explained to you in the clearest terms that keeping them together is intentional breeding and could result in your account being banned. We do want to help but you MUST follow our advice on this or we will have to suspend your account.

If she is not already pregnant then she will become pregnant. If by some miracle she is not pregnant when he is castrates at 3 months, he will still be able to impregnate her for 6 weeks after he is castrated.

Your male Cannot live with her now or for 6 weeks after he is castrated. If you do not do this you will have back to back pregnancies.

We do want to help But if you do not separate them now then this is not something we will quietly endorse.

If you cannot keep 2 separate cages for them until he is 6 weeks post neuter then you really need to consider whether you can keep them both.
 
First of all, I do not understand what your resistance to reproduction is, but I do not want to argue.
Second, I have nowhere to move it!
Like you said, she is probably pregnant, but she will not be able to get pregnant again because the male will be neutered!
Third, unfortunately you are wrong. The vet told me that after the castration they should be separated for 48 hours and that's it!
I don't know what castration is common in the UK, in Israel it is not like that.
 
Unfortunately you do not understand my situation ...
