What are the best kinds of Guinea pig cages?

Answer 1

If your asking what kind of cage you should get for your guinea pigs, then i recommend a C&C cage because you can make them any size (the minimum for 1 guinea pig is 7.5 square feet). They are very big and roomy.

Do NOT get an aquarium, wire bottom cage, or a pet store cage. An aquarium can make your guinea pigs become blind. A wire bottom cage could injure your guinea pigs' feet and possibly break bones. And pet store cages are usually small and expensive.

Answer 2

The best kind of guinea pig cages are large and spacious to allow for ample room to move around. C&C cages (Cube and Coroplast) are popular for their customizable size and easy cleaning. Providing hiding spots and enrichment activities in the cage is also important for your guinea pig's mental and physical well-being.

Answer 3

It might seem particular, but the best-tempered rabbits are the bigger ones and as such make great first pets. Dwarfs are "practical" in the sense that they are small and need less space, but they tend to be nervous and might develop behavioral issues if not neutered. I also recommend to adopt a full-grown adult bunny, as their mind is already shaped and they are more calm in a general way. Babies are cute, but you must train them to do what you want and making an error might mean a problematic rabbit (chewing everything, peeing everywhere except in litter, etc). You might want to consider adopting from your local rabbit shelter : by adopting your first bunny there you would save him/her from an uncertain future, have a lot of choice (many bunny get abandonned each year, and shelters are at bursting point) and have the opportunity to talk with the foster family about his/her habbits and preferences. They could even help you with your questions later on and give you infos on how to care for your new companion. Just visit House Rabbit Society 's website to find the shelter nearest you if you want to know more! good luck =)

Answer 4

There are 47 different domestic breeds of rabbit. There is no certain breed that makes a better pet. It just depends on what knid of rabbit you like and the rabbit itself. They all have different personalities.

Answer 5

Yes, or at least some sort of play pen with a lot of space, that's also high enough so he/she can't jump out. You can find rabbit cages in pet stores, or you can make one. See the related questions below for more information and helpful links!

Answer 6

First, get a large cage, wth horizontal bars. Make sure there isn't any way for it to get out. Put fluff at the bottom (optional) and a water bottle. Use a small food dish. Put some paper towel rolls inside the cage, and chew toys from pet stores.

Answer 7

There are many types of cages made for rabbits. You can also build your own rabbit cage. See the related questions and links below for more info.

INDOOR ACCOMMODATIONLarge rabbit cageFirst answer: There are plastic bottom cages which are ideal for rabbits and are made by companies such as Furplast and Super Pet. For the ground of the cage you get wood shavings from the pet store.

Disagreement: Many of the cages in this style are too small for rabbits, especially if they aren't dwarf rabbits. Be careful, because many cages sold in pet stores are in fact much too small for anything but the smallest dwarf rabbit; some are even too small for that!

More answers: Cages should be large so the rabbit could walk around, have a lot of space.

Wire bottomed cages should be avoided because they can lead to wounds and infection on the feet ("sore hocks").

CondoThis is a large, multi-level cage. There are commercial versions, like those sold by Leith Petwerks. There are also designs for home-made versions, often using NICs or similar products (wire grid cubes that are sold as temporary/inexpensive home shelving). Large dog crateConsider fashioning a simple shelf so you can make use of that extra vertical space! PenLike a playpen, ex-pen, or rabbit run. 100% rabbit-proof roomNo matter what, you have to do some rabbit-proofing because your rabbit needs out everyday, but when you're there to supervise you can get away with some things that just wouldn't be sufficient if your bunny had hours alone to explore. Rabbits can be obsessive and very destructive! Any area your bun has full-time access to needs to be perfectly safe. There should be 0% possibility of danger, not just a low likelihood. OUTDOOR ACCOMMODATIONHutchesThis is basically a cage but usually "hutch" is used to describe outdoor cages on legs that are partially made of wood. There are dangers about keeping your rabbit outside. See the related questions below for more info and links.

These are most often made of wood and are designed to keep out the elements and protect the bunny from predators, hence the need for bulky and heavy designs.

The answer to this question can be found in the Related Questions and Related Links below.

If the bunnies are to live outdoors, they need a hutch off the ground. One part should be enclosed and filled with hay with a small entry. They will burrow in the hay to stay warm in cold weather. The wind facing side of the cage should be made of wood. The flooring and sides should have small wire mesh. The larger, chicken type mesh is not appropriate as the bunnies can chew through it and rats can also get through it and into the cage. There should also be a roof to keep them dry in rain and snow conditions.
