Single, Double Or Triple Cage?

[akg]

I am going to be getting 2 young guinea pigs in a few weeks and want to have the cage ready and waiting. Should I get one layer 120 cms, 2 tiers of 100 cms or 3 tiers of 80 cms? I want to have a lid, as I will be having a foster child and it feels safer (for the pigs) that way. c & c cages look great but getting a lid adds on another £30! Thanks.

Lots of levels don't count as floor space for Guinea pigs. So personally I would go for a single level. And if opting for a 120 cage I would only either get a pair of sows or a sow and neutered boar. As I feel 120 cages are too small for a pair of boars.

Zoo plus are quite cheap for their cages. And delivery is fast. I got a 120 cage for about £40 (not a brand name cage but still good.) and a high hight so you could add a shelf.

Get the largest cage you can fit in your space. Guinea pigs like to run laps (like race cars) around the cage.

Whatever one fits in your space. The bigger the better. I had the skyline maxi Xxl cage as a temporary cage till I built my c&c. It was good.

Oh okay. That one is only 120cms. Might get that to start with then.

You can get 140 cages that you could put on a stand.I've just bought a 154X78 cage on stand.Was 123 quid but exactly what I wanted.
