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.

What kind of shelter does a guinea pig need?

Guinea pigs are great pets that deserve a great home., Guinea pigs need a shelter or a cage that is big enough for your guinea pig to have a little area to eat and drink , one to sleep, and others.. I have two guinea pigs and their cage is is 4feet long.. That's what I have for two guinea pigs. They should have a little igloo for them to hide in or something similar like a little bridge or something. They should have proper bedding/litter. They need a bowl for food (pellets) and space for hay and either a water bottle or a water bowl.

It depends how many guinea pigs you have. If you have 1 or 2 then I would recommend that you clean the hutch once a week. If you have more than three guinea pigs then you will have to clean it out pretty often!

6 month old guinea pig Is it ok to introduce a second female guinea pig right now If so how big should the cage be that they share?

If the first Guinea pig is either female, or a neutered boar (male), then they should be fine. They thrive much better with company than on their own. In my experience, the perfect realtionship is a neutered boar and two females. The cage should be as big as possible however 3 piggies should be fine in a cage 600x1200mm as long as there is a bit of room for them to plan and jump. I have a cage that is two storeys, one for a big play area and then a slope up to a second floor where all their bedding is.

What cage is best to use for guinea pigs?

Just get a big cage from a pet store that has little hiding places in it. Guinea pigs like to hide in small dark places. Rabbit cages would be okay to use too, but make sure you keep your guinea pig inside. Make sure that the bottom of the cage is smooth for the guinea pig. Wire at the bottom of the cage is too hard for it to walk on and painful. Also, get some shavings/bedding (little pieces of cut up wood or get it from a pet store) to line on the bottom of the cage that will make a comfy bed for your pet.
