This really depends on how many piggies you have and whether its in winter/summer etc.
in the summer i usually do it once a week or up to 10 days as they are only in it at nighttime. in the winter however, i do it at least once a week depending on how busy i am normally. If you can really start to smell them you obviously need to clean them out but be aware that male piggies tend to smell more than females anyway ( i have 2 males). i hope this helps you out a bit :D

∙ 13y agoWell it probably depends on how many guinea pigs you have. So try cleaning it out at least once and week. If you can make twice, or three times at the most, even better.

∙ 12y agoWhen you clean out the cage you have to refill the hay, water, and food as well as change the bedding and scrub or dump out the bottom of the cage. So it should take around an hour.

What are the messurements of a big guinea pig's cage?
A cage should be big enough for the pet to stand up in. It should be long enough for the pet to turn around in. The normal size for a guinea pig is a cage that is 2 feet by 2 feet and a foot tall.
Can chipmunks and guinea pigs live together?
guinea pigs and chipmunks should not live together.
Are you allowed to have guinea pigs in apartments?
Yes, as long as you have a good air flow, not musty, dusty air, everywhere in your apartment is clean, you have no bugs, and you have lots of room. One guinea pig needs 7 square feet of room for their cage. Get a C&C cage!
Is it better to keep your guinea pigs in the same room as you?
As long as you keep the cage clean then, "Yes." Use Aspen chips. You should especially keep it in your room if you only have one, as they are social creatures. If you get two get a male and female, with the male fixed.
How many times should you brush a guinea pig a week?
If your guinea pig has long hair, maybe two to three times a week. If your guinea pig has short hair and shed often, two times a week should be fine; if he / she has short hair and does not shed often, once a week should be fine. However, it's key to remember that they clean themselves with their paws. If you see that your guinea pig is often cleaning him/herself, keep the cage cleaner more often.
How long and how often should you take you guinea pig out of the cage for?
20 though 30 min and every day cause it needs exercise
Are guinea pigs odourless?
Most of the time guinea pigs don't have an odour as long as you clean their cage often. If they are still stinky, you can always give them a bath. If you want to give then a bath you should either use bunny, kitten or ferret shampoo, dog shampoo is too strong and natural shampoo is the best for them.
Would it be ok for 2 guinea pigs to be in a cage that is 42x28?
It's a little small, but guinea pigs don't actually need very much space. Two guinea pigs should be fine, as long as they are both females.
Can you use a large outdoor dog cage as a rabbit cage?
As long as it is clean and the rabbit can fit in comfortably, why not?
How often do you need to move a guinea pigs cage?
while you can keep them out for a loooong time as long as they have food and water. but beware lol if you are holding them then they will pee on you usually if held for more then a half hour tops (at least my guinea pig lol). i almost always hold her with a towel because of this reason. without food or water i would say that you shouldn't keep them out for more then a couple hours (and yes if they are grazing grass counts as food and you can keep them out for at least up to 3 hours in this case). I'm not an expert so i would be careful. and remember if it is hot you should not leave your guinea pig outside unless it has a cool shaded place to go if it wants to and you should still not leave it out for more then half hour i would say if it is hot.
If a female guinea pig is pregnant can a male rabbit be in the cage?
Guinea pigs and rabbits should not be kept together, under any circumstances, regardless of their sex. Rabbits can kick and guinea pigs are likely to be injured sooner or later. You could probably allow a rabbit to share a grassy outdoor run with a guinea pig during the day, so long as you have a small den or hiding place for the guinea pig that is too small for the rabbit to get into, but you should never house them together in a hutch or cage.
