housing advice

Hi I currently own a pair of gerbils and I am hoping to get some guinea pigs in the near future. I was just wondering if theses animals can be kept in the same room (in separate cages)? Are they likely to pass diseases to one another? Would they disturb or stress each other? Further in the...

Good morning! I hope everyone and their piggy families are well! I'm asking for help with some housing and bonding issues. We have 8 guinea pigs, all male, all under 1 year old - 2 piggies have just turned 1 in March. They are all indoors and have the run of the lounge daily, taking it in...

I have 2 female guinea pigs (which have decided to hide under the fleece) and I was wondering if this was a good enough cage for them. I would have a big floor cage but I also have ferrets who run around the room.

hi all, new to the forum so if I muck anything up please forgive me! my (two) guinea pigs currently live in the dining room in two cages pushed together, but this year I'm cleaning out the garage and will be able to move them into there, so I want to make them a nice new enclosure. I was...

Hi guys! We move house in a couple of weeks, I have 4 elderly (5yrs (ish!)) guinea pigs who have always lived in a shed. When we move my plan is to still have them in a shed (but can’t take current shed with me) with a hutch inside & access to the lawn in the day. To give them more space I...

I've bought this cage off Facebook for my two guineas and I'm really not sure about it. It's the Little Friends one. Has anyone got one of these and finds it Ok? I've got visions of one of my babies falling down the hole! The ramp doesn't look securely attached to me either. Not sure if just me...

A vet recently informed me that guinea pigs usually have a specific area where they go potty but my experience is that both my...

So I'm having to move in with my grandmother and of course i need to bring my pigs. But we are afraid theres a leak in her roof and its caused mold in parts of the ceiling. As of now, we cannot afford to have someone to come and check/fix it. As long as there isnt any visible mold and i have an...

I have two male guinea pigs, and my sister is looking into getting a pair of guinea pigs from a rescue. However, the pair is a male and a female, and we are planning on housing them together: should we wait until a male pair arrives in the rescue? Would only fixing the female work? We are...

I have recently gotten two guinea pigs that keep fighting and I have heard that getting a bigger cage will help them get along. I was wondering if anyone knows how to fuse two cages together to create one big cage? I want them to be inside and can't find any bigger cages than the one I have...
