Hi all,
So yesterday we got two guinea pigs. My son is autistic and became besotted with one in particular, as we were looking to get a pet soon we decided to go for them. We bought a 50x100 cage as very temporary accommodation. I’ve already ordered a correx sheet and cubes to make our own c&c cage on the weekend. The area I plan to make their new cage in is the play room where there’s a work top that runs along the wall. This would make the cage approx max 60x185cm Is that big enough for our two girlies? There is a washing machine that’s under the work top, not touching, on solid floor so it doesn’t make too much noise, is that going to be ok?
Anything else I should know about making a c&c cage? I plan on zip tying the bars together and there’s some units hanging on the wall above the worktop so I wouldn’t be able to add another level if they went there.
