Some poop skills there! I once had a fresh poop land on my desk during a zoom call, 3ft above piggy bum height! And this week some creative lady pig in the girls cage decided to project abundant fresh poops down the castle house ramp from the top deck, then pee on the poops to make them squishy...

Hi and welcome. You should now be able to upload the photo directly rather than use a link. Some people may not be comfortable using the link, or May not be able to access it. Well done for removing the wire ramp. The other thing we recommend is having a vet check a week after you have...

First question is, is a 4x2 C&C cage adequate space for two guinea pigs ? Like this... I do have a very calm and friendly dog who visits sometimes so may go for the " With Lid " option just so the guineas feel safer. 4x2 C&C Cage with Loft & Ramp Also. Is it OK to buy the guinea pigs from pet...

Hi all, New about-to-be owner, currently looking for a pair of rescue piggies and getting my outdoor setup sorted in the meantime. Has anyone attached table legs to a heavy hutch? I have a H&R 5ft Hutch-over-run which is in great condition and just needs a clean up. However, I'm keen to try the...

No, they never jumped out off the cage, but I use a foldable encloser for bondings that's about 30 cm high. And some of my piggies jumped out of this enclosure.

Awesome, thank you. He's only 8-9 weeks old so very young still but he's been brave enough to venture out last night of his own accord and had a run around. It's a C&C cage so fully customisable but at the moment he's on top of the girls with the intention of getting him done and just adding a...

Just a quick question, I know skin takes about 10-14 days to heal. But how long do you guys reckon until she can use the ramp up to the loft again? They said internal sutures take 8 weeks to dissolve. Once shes back in with them I’ll just remove the ramp and loft for as long as needed but just...

It's been a while that he hasn't been using the ramp, and he hasn't lost any weight. As well as being very energetic, having a good apatite, and being overall very happy, I think I can safely rule out him having any sort of injury. He used to zoom up the ramp when he was an energetic pup and in...

When I had ramps, I used Velcro to stick a piece of vetbed to it. The vet bed provided great grip and the Velcro mean I could remove easily for washing (although it never really got dirty).

One of my piggies (Ruby) used to love her ramp, and then one day, for no reason at all she simply decided she wasn't going to use it anymore. If you have ruled out physical injury, and he has everything he needs on one level then he may just be done with the ramp. Piggies are naturally ground...

The non slip vet bed is not as good for use with piggies as the green backed. It wicks but then the moisture gets held by the backing whereas the green back wicks right through to your absorbent layer underneath. I have some small bits of the non slip version for use on ramps etc, otherwise I...

She may have injured it previous (either by clipping it too short or by something she did when you weren't looking) and it subsequently fell off. I would just keep an eye on it to make sure the paw doesn't look swollen and she is using her foot normally. One of my past pigs actually ripped her...

This was an indoor ramp so not the same as hutch ramps. I stuck it on using carpet tape.

I did use vetbed. I velcro‘d it to the ramp (when we used ramps) simply because it is washable and long lasting Yes it is expensive, but you can use the remainder as bedding during mid summer, or as bedding indoors if they have to move inside during very hot/cold weather. As they are outside...

I’m glad you are looking to get a new cage. I’m afraid the cage size you quote for his current cage aren’t suitable even for a single piggy - it’s too small (the smallest size a single piggy should be in is 48x24 inches minimum) As your piggy is a male, then a c&c cage is best. Two boys...

Thank you for the advice! I’ll change it now and purchase more tunnels and log bridges ! :)

Fair enough. Its the best i can do as we don't have space or want them inside

No, because only the ground floor counts. So the additional floors don't count towards usable space because guinea pigs are essentially ground roaming creatures and need a large amount of horizontal space on one level. Plus 3 levels is not 3 x the space. A lot is lost for the cut outs in the...

Yes it’s fine to raise it but you wouldn’t want it high. A few inches - just enough for them to get underneath (remembering that getting them out won’t be easy) - would be fine. This guide will help with ramps - Ramps in Cages Remembering that the higher you raise the hutch, the longer the...

I've never had a hutch but my boars used to have lofts in their C&C cages which they loved. When Red and Brillo were diagnosed with arthritis last year I was advised by the vet to remove the lofts. They looked for the ramps for a couple of days but soon stopped and settled down to one level...
