Hi!
I've been thinking about having guinea pigs for some times now and have read and watch a lot of thing on the subject, but I have some question unanswered.
First, the only place where I could fit the cage, in my room, doesn't exactly fit the measurement required. It would be 27" x 59" at best. It is pretty long for 2 guinea pigs but not as large as recommended. Since it's longer than the 50" recommended, is it okay?
Also, a little bit of my radiator would be under the table where I would put the cage, but I heat it at only 19°C in the winter (I could heat it more if they need a warmer room). Is it dangerous for them?
Oh and they would be in my room, at the end of my bed, I know they talk a lot. Is it a bad idea to put them in my room? I had a cage with 3 mice in my room before and didn't had a problem.
Thanks to everyone who take the time to answer!
