If your guinea pigs are not ready to be picked up then most likely what you should probably do is clean half the cage and then clean the other half. I made the mistake of taking my boys out every time I clean the cage because I didn’t have enough towels or fleece as a back up. It just took...

Hey! Yeah...Ive got some BBBs here too (bad bar biters!) Only when they are demanding food and know I'm in the kitchen getting them something. I know I read on the forum somewhere that this kind of bar biting is a "job" in the piggie world. And the role is actually passed on or taught...

Today was cage cleaning day in our house. Cage cleaning is one of those pointless activities that slaves like to do, proving yet again that they really are not the most intelligent pets. Honestly just when I get my cage all nice and arrange everything like I want it, the boring big slave comes...

All you can really do is ensure adequate ventilation so the smell of the paint can escape and keeping doors closed so the smell doesn’t go through the house so much To keep piggies warm, you could pop a cover over part of the cage so they aren’t getting draughts, lots of soft hay in big piles...

Hi and welcome I've had radiator paint lickers, wallpaper eaters, a number of plastic addicts, slipper sole nibblers (i.e. rubber fiends) but that one is a new one for me... To be honest, no idea. Have a look at our diet guide and check whether your own diet is balanced: Long Term Balanced...

Hi, does anyone have any ideas for homemade c and c cage name plates? I've had lovely painted wooden name plates from ebay before, but now have new piggies. Wondered whether any of the forum crafty members have done their own?

Hi. I’ve got four girls. They’re currently in a 5ft hutch with two floors and it’s too small for them and I hate it. My parents decided to take down my 3x4 cc cage and stick them back in the hutch without telling me because they didn’t like how much space it took up, and they are redecorating...

All I could find was this Low Quad Cupboard but it comes to about £500 - and you have to assemble and paint it yourself!

Hello everyone! Hope all is okay on the forum, I’ve peaked on the forum a couple of times while I was in the U.K. for 3 weeks but not taken much in, so I hope everyone and their piggies are okay :) We had a wonderful time visiting our families and some friends, 4 years was a long time without...

It’s the girls 2 year adoption anniversary so they are having a cage upgrade. We’ve had a custom enclosure built which I love just have to finish painting it (my daughter choose the colours grey and mint green) also bought them some new fleece hides so fingers crossed they will love it when...

So today when I cleaned the guinea pig cage, there is a strong paint odor because my mom opened the garage door wide open and forgot to close it. In order to reduce the possible risk of this odor absorb on the surface of the plastic cage and the Igloo Hindout, I exposed them under the sun for...

The plan is to get new hides, the trouble is even with daily cage cleaning the hides still go mouldy after a month or so. Going to have to do some more research on the animal safe paint idea.

I made the these wooden stands out of inexpensive wall studs and painted them. They come apart, the middle section lifts out. I also put together the C&C cages all by myself, so many zipties. I think the top structure is the longest 2-story I've seen - 10×2 grids, plus the offset loft. I spent...

I sometimes paint pictures/ bunting to put round the outside of their cage to make is seasonal.

They have a bit of ventilation but not a lot. The cage gets cleaned daily, they are on wood shaving, and they are normally running about all over my flat anyway. I was thinking about giving a new set of hides a coat of animal safe garden paint, if I remember Johnstone's make one.

If you have two females, then that space is the minimum, but if you have two males, then you need to get a larger space. Cage biting is normal! Mine do it when bored, or to remind me that it's veg time. It likely won't hurt them, as long as there's nothing like paint on the bars that could...

@Claire W it's your house so your rules. Set clear boundaries from the start when hey come to visit. Ask if they want to be involved in the piggies care and interact with them. Come up with a list of things they can do like; Prepare fresh food Top up pellets Clean water bottles (seriously when...

Thank you! Honestly both of your options are amazing. It’s just about whatever is going to work best for you! Yup I made the forest bits myself. Not too hard really. I can’t wait to see how your cage comes along.

Other developments in pig-habitat design... Rather than full drawers, we're now thinking deep slide-out trays that can be completely removed. If the units are small enough, I should be able to just take the trays outside, turn them upside down, and bin or compost the bedding. Man that sounds...

I don't know if I've already posted my cage on this thread but I can't seem to find it so here goes... It's a 4x3 C&C with a 1x3 loft. It houses 2 lovely Boars. The ramp is recycled from an old pet shop style cage that we had before we knew better. The hay tray is from Amazon and was sold as a...
