If the cage is too small take it back and get a new one! Never get anything hamster for a guinea pig. If you have a small cage then that means you got a hamster cage.
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!!!
Guinea pigs should be kept in a moderate temparature preferrably indoors. This should prevent field mice from getting into the cage. If you have any trouble you can always buy a new cage and set it up indoors.
A cage should be big enough for the pet to stand up in. It should be long enough for the pet to turn around in. The normal size for a guinea pig is a cage that is 2 feet by 2 feet and a foot tall.
If the guinea pig's cage is rusted, it's important to replace the cage or the affected parts to prevent your pet from coming into contact with the rust, which can be harmful if ingested. Rust can cause health issues if ingested or cause injuries to your pet's skin or paws. Ensure the new cage is made of materials that are safe and non-toxic for your guinea pig.
You may want to add extra bedding or a shelter for your guinea pig as they may just want to burrow. I got my last guinea pig cage here http://www.petproductsbyroyal.com/rabbit-guinea-pig/ and love it!
an animal may die if you do that. probably the guinea pig. :(

This is not really a custom cage, but a cage with homemade penthouse on the top. http://www.guinea-pig-paradise.com/homemade-guinea-pig-cages.html
I try to clean my guinea pig's cage around once a week or when it looks dirty.
no
It means that the guinea pig wants to go back In its cage if not that then the guinea pig is cooled
You might see the guinea pig look around the cage and call for it. Whenever I take my guinea pigs apart the one that's still in the cage looks all around the cage and if he doesn't see the other guinea pig he starts squeaking.
Guinea pigs need space to move around in, and some hamster cages are pretty small. Ideally a guinea pig needs at least 0.75 sq. m. If your pet seems like it does not like its cage, get a bigger cage soon
No, paraketes need a bird cage not something made for a guinea pig. They have special needs for their cage so you need a bird cage.
not necessarily; if you leave one guinea pig in the cage with the sick guinea pig, the guinea pig that is not sick can get sick; you should separate them just to be safe but if the guinea pigs start to get lonely, put them back together
Yes because there is the after birth from the guinea pig
i think they can die. so try to find out what depresses your guinea pig (too small cage, lonely etc) and solve the problem.
