Is This Cage Good For Two Guinea Pigs?

[MattDaMan]

This is a cage that I just built. I has twelve square feet surface area. I will cover the floor with fleece. I built a roof but took it off for now. I will add the beds, water, food bowls, toys, etc. It will have hides and tunnels. Please say if anything is bad or for more suggestions.

Hello, welcome to the forum!

What are the dimensions width and length please, it can be hard to tell off photos but looks good.

What are you covering the floor with? I would suggest a plastic layer so waterproof to protect your floor... Towels then fleece on top.

How many pigs are you getting ?

Welcome again

It looks good to me. The only thing I would say is the height. Not that it's too high or two low, it's just that before I had C&C I used a run, which was a lot higher, and one day I caught my foot on it when I was stepping out with one of the guineas in my hand. In true slave style, I saved him and broke my toe and staved my thumb and was covered in bruises, and pretty much ruined the run. So.. what I'm saying is, can you step in and out of it easily, as it looks like you would have to get in and out of it for catching and cleaning, or would you be better with a door/gate set up at the end.

I'm hoping time has allowed this story and accident to be acceptable as funny. cos I nearly weeded myself.

Yeah I know - it was quite funny. Poor Little Dude was still in the run as well as me holding Chicco. They both got the fright of their life. That incident was the sole reason I changed to a C&C.
