For A guinea Pig, it is recommended you provide the largest cage possible...at a minimum, a cage should be large enough for your guinea to stand up on his/her hind legs and not touch the top, room for litter box, nesting box, food, toys, water bottle and a little extra to walk around - this is the minimum, and you should provide your piggy with out of cage play time and snuggle time! During the summer, during the day we put the piggys out in our shaded sunroom (windows open for cool air) in an empty 8 foot swimming pool, this provides a large play area, I add the water bottle, food,hay, toys and a nesting box for naps...they love this, and I sit in there with them to bond.

Can you cover the hamsters cage to keep it warm?

Hi, I wouldn't recommend it. Hamsters do not like warm habitats. It is especially bad if the cage is put near a window that gets warm, a furnace, or where there's a warm draft. Plus, the cage needs to be well lit. Hope that helps a little!
