These cages are usually built for rabbits, but with a sturdy ramp inside, and no wire cage bottom, then it will be fine for guinea pigs.
Please bare in mind, these are usually wooden, and if they are outside, they have to be weatherproof.
no, save things like that for mice and hamsters. guinea pigs are animals that need to be kept on the ground as their spine or feet could get hurt easily because they aren't very agile
If i were you i would get a big cage so the guinea pig can run around Good luck with your piggie I have a big cage that holds 2 guinea pigs and they chase each other around the whole cage!!!
you should clean your guinea pigs cage every 2-3 days just to make sure they don't get sick, and it doesn't smell. sak :)
Opinion 1: No, it is nor okay. They can severely damage their feet and can cause a painful infection. Get a cage with no wire floor.Opinion 2:There is absolutely no problem with having a guinea pig cage with a wire floor. Having bred guinea-pigs for a great many years, I can assure you that never once did any of our guinea-pigs suffer any damage at all to their feet as a result of a wire cage.Wire floor cages are necessary in warmer parts of the world where the guinea-pigs spend all their time utdoors. this way, they can still get to the grass underneath the cage, and engage in their natural behaviour, which is to graze. If your guinea poig cage does not have a wire floor, or some other way for the guinea pig to get to the grass, you are depriving it of something which is instinctive.If your guinea pig is a completely indoors guinea pig (which is unnatural in itself), the floor of its cage must be wood or some other sturdy material with no gaps. Wire floor cages are only good if the cage sits flat on the ground.
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!
cats ,maybe dogs and wild animals.my 2 4day old babie guinea pigs were attacked by cats and so was the dad guinea pig and they didn't survive:(so never let your cats near your guinea pigs if they are not in a closed hutch or run or cage
NO! NO! NO! my friend did that... lets just say there was blood and 2 dead guinea pigs when she woke up.

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.

A regular medium cage or luxury is large size. Always have entertaining things, too.
Try, but watch them closely. Many will fight.
They need a minimum of 10.5 square feet for 2 guinea pigs.
You can definitely have 2 female guinea pigs in the same cage. Just be sure they are closer in age and get along well before housing them together.
It's best to keep them in the same cage for about a week. And you have to put them in the same cage together for about and hour each day after that for a while. I have 3 male guinea pigs at home and usually the guinea pig who came into the family or home first will try to show the other guinea pigs who is in charge (Or dominant). It usually takes about a week to two weeks for the guinea pigs to work it out and become great buddies.
2 guinea pigs = 2x5 c&c cage which is 30" by 62" a dwarf rabbit= 2x4 which is 30" by 50" so in total you should just make a 2x10 c&c cage feeding time may be difficult because they need different food. -kiley
NO! That is cruel and guinea pigs will get fungal infections and there coat will get yuck! You should use a different bedding because the bedding you use is not absobent.
They have flies there because no matter how much you clean your guinea pig's cage the smell of the feces will always be there unless you clean your cage every 2 weeks. Just use some soap and water. After about a year of having the same cage I find it more fun for the guinea pigs to get a new cage unless you get them out for about a hour each day. That way they don't get too bored.
