No, you have to use a cage with bars and a cage door. Make sure only to use a cage meant for rodents, or a roomy plasic tub, but if you use a plastic tub, DO NOT cover up the opening, because the guinea pig could sufficate.
First off do not use newspaper. The ink on the paper can be toxic. Use used paper bags. The ones you get from the grocery store. Then you can use wood shavings for bedding.
Just watch that the cat doesn't use claws on the guinea pig and don't leave the guinea pig outside the cage unattended and it should be fine
You should not keep the cage outside anyway. I suggest getting a new cage and keeping it inside. It may be cold for your guinea pig outside. If you didn't keep the cage outside earwigs would not have got to it.
Yes as long as it's big enough for it.
No you can't use kitty liter because it is only uses for cats.
Opinion 1: No, it is nor okay. They can severely damage their feet and can cause a painful infection. Get a cage with no wire floor.Opinion 2:There is absolutely no problem with having a guinea pig cage with a wire floor. Having bred guinea-pigs for a great many years, I can assure you that never once did any of our guinea-pigs suffer any damage at all to their feet as a result of a wire cage.Wire floor cages are necessary in warmer parts of the world where the guinea-pigs spend all their time utdoors. this way, they can still get to the grass underneath the cage, and engage in their natural behaviour, which is to graze. If your guinea poig cage does not have a wire floor, or some other way for the guinea pig to get to the grass, you are depriving it of something which is instinctive.If your guinea pig is a completely indoors guinea pig (which is unnatural in itself), the floor of its cage must be wood or some other sturdy material with no gaps. Wire floor cages are only good if the cage sits flat on the ground.
Yes. Surprisingly my piggy likes it a bit. But they don't need to take a bath that often. Don't just smell your guinea pig's cage, smell your guinea pig itself. Because the reason why your cage could smell it could be just the bedding, not the piggy. Hope this helped! Have a safe and happy guinea pig! But remember make sure the water you use is at room temperature, and do not wet your guinea pig's face.
I need to feed my guinea pig.
go to a hardware store and buy a big sheet of plastic
First, take the guinea pig out and put it in a box or carrier. Use gloves and a shovel to deposite all the contents of the cage into a bin bag. Spray with pet-safe freshening spray. Wipe dry with kitchen roll. Take a lot of sawdust and sprinkle it around the cage. (fresh sawdust!) Take some hay and put it in the bed part. Put cage top back on. Put toys and food dish back in. Clip the water bottle on the side of the cage. Let in your guinea pig.
