Teenage Guinea Pig
Hi All,
I'm sure this information is available somewhere on the board already and I have already checked out the sticky threads but it's hard to fins all the information I need so hope you all don't mind me posting a new thread as I could do with some help/info/advice of you all!
Well I shall start of by explaining my situation, I don't yet own any Guinea Pigs but am hoping to take on two baby sows in the next month or so, I have just moved into my own home and don't have any other pets as previously rented a house and also have no children. I work in the day but apart from that I am rarely away from home and my mom will look after then so I consider my circumstances to be suitable for looking after guinea pigs.
Now to get back onto the point of me posting this thread, I’ve already decided on the cage I am getting and have made sure it will be big enough- just to add I will be keeping the piggies indoors in my kitchen/dining room.
I have a few questions so I will get started: -
Do i need two houses, bowls and water bottles so the piggies have one each?
My Cage setup will be as follows- is this suitable: -
Fleece with old towels and newspaper underneath (Tip picked up from other board members- thank you!)
Litter tray underneath where the hay rack will be- will plenty of newspaper be ok in this?
List of other things I will need- please post if you can add anything else you think I would need: -
x2 houses?
x2 food dishes
x2 water bottles?
Guinea pig food Pellets
Good quality Hay
Snooze bedding to put in their houses? Or should i just use hay?
Indoor/Outdoor run with base: [ame]http://www.amazon.co.uk/Galvanized-Outdoor-Rabbit-Guinea-Playpen/dp/B00178HJGM/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=garden&qid=1264002303&sr=8-1[/ame]
This will be used indoors in winter and outdoors in summer.
