Hi everyone

Our CC cage has arrived today which is exciting. These will be our first Guinea Pigs so I was just wondering where you all keep your cages?
We have a lounge dining room so it's all in one just can't decide where is best to put cage as its pretty big now I've put it together.

Thanks in advance
Katie
 
2 in the living room and three in my bedroom :)

PS - We live in a bungalow so the piggies can hear us all of the time and I go in to check on them :D

well our downstairs is technically one 'big' room with a tiny kitchen (size of most peoples downstairs cupboard :roll:) so ours is in the lounge, under the stairs, across from the kitchen and still in the hall! :))

if you have a lounge diner and you can see them from the lounge then i'd put them in the dining room bit, bit either would be fine :)
 
mine have their own room downstairs opposite the living room. We often pop in and out and talk to them.Have two dogs, one of which too interested in them so having them in the living room not an option.21 square foot c&c on the floor
 
Mine is in an extension at the back of the house it attaches on to my kitchen so when I am cooking I have the door open so they get used to the noise ,they are getting better and don't hide as much now!
I am thinking of moving my tumble dryer out so I can build another on the other side ,seen so many guineas free on gumtree I am worried where they might end up thinking of rehoming a couple.
 
All of mine are in the box room, known as the piggy room :D Exciting stuff having a C&C cage!
 
Congratulations. You will become addicted to them. Once you have had them you can never go back :no:

Mine currently own the lounge room and hallway. However plan on making one of the bedrooms into a room for them all to be together in C&C cages. Mine run around the lounge room most of the day in turns depending on who likes and gets on with whom :eek:
 
Mine isn't C&C but it's home-made based on C&C principals so I hope it counts :)
I like to have mine in the living room, where we as a family are gathered quite a lot, or at least there's often me here when others are out. It happens to be the only suitable place in the house, but even if I had more choice I would have them here with us, where the life is. They get used to being with their humans, get used to the comings and goings and the fact that they share their room with us, and I think that helps them to relax when we approach them to interact.
It is also a suitable place because it is a North facing room, and for our particular house lay-out this means it's not in front of a window that would act as a green-house in the Summer. This room has a fairly stable temperature. If I kept them in the kitchen they would bake in our particular set-up in Summer, and freeze in winter. Oh and they'd have to put up with me cutting up onions often. Not nice for them I think!
In theory we may be able to squeeze them into a bedroom, but they would keep the human occupier awake at night, and possibly all of us.

Therefore, for social and practical reasons, they are in the living room.
 
Mine is in the lounge, which is a third of the width of our whole house and the full length back to front (so quite a long but narrow room). The corner that the pigs live in easily houses their 5x2 C&C but unfortunately I can't go any wider as it would start to block the patio doors.

Here's my setup :)

Mines a custom built cage rather than C&C but it's in the lounge. I'm in and out all day so I can keep an eye on them, it's also north facing so cool in summer and it's heated in the winter. We sit and watch them in the evening, my partner says he wishes he discovered guinea pigs 20 years ago he would have saved a fortune on TV subscriptions and licenses! (We no longer have TV). The boys like it best when we rattle the scrabble tiles, they come out to play in earnest then, we think it's because they know we won't be moving around very much for a while.
 
Wow
Thanks for your replies, so interesting to hear about your piggies, I'm beyond excited to be getting mine hopefully after when our correx stuff arrives next week for the cage bottom. I've already got lots of supplies.
Having our garage converted in the autumn so our dining table will go in there leaving more room for guinea pigs in the lounge.
