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.

Is a guinea pig cage the same size as a rabbit cage?
No I would get a slightly smaller cage than a rabbit cage guinea pigs are a little bit smaller than rabbits so they don't needquite as much space. Also take into consideration that rabbits have paws and guinea pigs have instead very sensitive feet so it is not advisable to put a guinea pig in a cage designed for rabbits. This is because rabbit cages often have a wire bottom which makes cleaning a lot easier, however a wire bottom will definitely hurt the guinea pigs feet- sometimes to the point in which they have to see a vet for treatment.
What should you do if you just got a guinea pig but you are too scared to put it in its cage in case something happens to it?
A guinea pig actually is safer in it's cage, provided that you have a good cage for it. It's far more likely to be hurt or get lost if it's out of it's cage. Also, the guinea pig wants to make a home and/or nest and wants bedding material, such as wood shavings. You need to ask the pet store people what would be good bedding material for your guinea pig.Get your guinea pig out of it's cage to play with it or just to hold it, but it needs to be in it's cage the rest of the time.Answerve it running round, someone is likely to step on it that would be far worse than putting it in its cage AnswerI just got a Guinea Pig yesterday. :) He's so sweet. (anyway, enough with my blathering!) A Guinea Pig is safer in it's cage! Even more so if you have another pet such as a cat or dog. A Guinea Pig would prefer it's cage, too. If you leave him in his carry-home box too long, he might get too scared and stressed out and get sick. The sooner you put him in his cage, the sooner he'll feel comfortable and the sooner you two can begin bonding! :) A cage is way more safe in the long run anyway! Goodluck! -GuineaBoo
