Would it hurt to put a cover on a guinea pigs cage?
That depends on the kind of cover and the type of cage. If it is a regular wire cage, you can place any breathable cloth over the cage. If you are talking about a plastic cover, the concern would be suffocation. Guinea pigs need to breath just like humans do, and if they are deprived of air they will die from suffocation. So be sure the cover is "breathable" meaning that it is a cloth through which air can pass through. Under those circumstances the cover will not harm the guinea pigs, but if you leave it covered for too long the guinea pig may become agitated or uneasy.
