guinea pig question 
?
ok a few questions…
So I have boars… Monty and Duke and the pet store said about 7 monthes old so I’m guessing they are like 8 onthes old now… I have this cage:
People are telling me it’s to samll for two guinea pigs and trust, me I would get a bigger cage but if I go any bigger, I wont have anywhere to put it but the floor (But I have dogs, 2 cats) and Im worried about there safety… also wouldnt a bigger one be harder to clean? So now im stressing over this and Im wonder what I should do… are there any dog/cat proof cages I can build off of www.guineapigcages.com ??
Thanks much help will be excellent and I will choose a best answere!
I second Caties advice.
Basically, 2 boars need (underline and bold) a 10.5sq ft cage, without this you will be looking forward to fights and lots of them. A 10.5sq ft cage is basically 2 grids x 4 grids, which is not big at all and can easily be placed in any home. If you are finding it hard to fit the cage, move some furniture around. It is necessary to the health and happiness of your boys.
A bigger cage is easier to clean, their poops and urine are either more spread out, or they are more clumped together which means that all you have to do is pick up the soiled bedding every second day.
Are you worried about the saftey of your guinea pigs or your cats/dogs? A suggestion would be to place the cage on tables similar to this http://www.ikea.com/us/en/catalog/products/20020808 , probably wider would be better but it may give you a general idea. Also, along with connecters you can re-inforce the cage with cable tyres/zip ties for added strength. http://www.guineapigcages.com/safety.htm
I also recommend joining the forum on http://www.guineapigcages.com/safety.htm , if you look up the top in small blue font you will see the word “forum.” Click that and register. The forum is fantastic, they will be able to help you locate materials, with any questions you may have, with saftey ideas and they also have different sections for diet, bedding etc.
