* chicken wire or something similar. * tin * starpickets * hinges * and a miniture door * wood. * maybe some paint for decoration. * food and water bowls * and somewhere cosy for it to hide.
Try to put them in a small cage together.
Yes! Most guinea pigs love to be together and will be happier and livelier. Just make sure that the cage is big enough, and that the guinea pigs are the same sex.
a great place to get a guinea pig cage is probably Amazon or Craigslist.
if it gets REALLY REALLY bad possibly. if the cage is pretty dirty,it could make the guinea pig sick or it isn't good for him/her. Most likely it wont kill the guinea pig.
Guinea pigs don't always make people itch. If they do, then it probably means that you are allergic to the guinea pig, the hay you feed it, or the sheddings in it's cage.
I prefer already built cages over custom built ones as they tend to last longer. I got my guinea pig's cage here http://www.petproductsbyroyal.com/rabbit-guinea-pig/
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.
Yes, the cage should be kept clean and "worm free."
no all you need to do is make sure you kep his or hers cage clean
It depends. They certainly wont be aggresive, but if you do, make sure to spay and nueter them.
All you have to do when feeding a guinea pig is always make sure it has food in its cage, give it a small bowl of veggies a day, and always make sure that there is timothy hay in their cage also. Message me with any other guinea pig or rabbit questions!! :D Jillian
It depends. Make sure that you are in constant supervision and make sure that the guinea pig is in its cage for the first couple of meetings, to get them used to each other.
