I would recommend the kind with the plastic pan bottom and wire top. If it has a door at the top and the side that is a plus. It should not have a wire bottom because this can hurt the guinea pigs feet. The bigger the cage the better. Hope that helps.

ny of the cages marketed for guinea pigs today are entirely too small. It's important when choosing the right cage for your cavy that you make sure the cage provides enough room for him to play and exercise. The minimum cage sizes are:

One guinea pig: 7-1/2 square feet, or 30" x 36"

Up to four guinea pigs: 13 square feet, or 30" x 76"

Other cage features you should look for include:

  • Safe, escape proof, materials

    The safest cages are made from plastic, wire, stainless steel, or a combination of these materials. Wood cages are easily chewed through and glass cages don't provide enough ventilation.
