Look at this!

Was browsing eBay for a larger hamster cage than I currently have and found this in the description of one for sale.

Makes me angry that people are so oblivious to an animals welfare needs. A poor 'guiney' pig in that hamster cage would have no life at all! And don't get me started on people who think wheels are okay for guinea pigs. >>> I don't think this person has done this intentionally but surely you would do your research before posting something like this! Sorry just had to share, rant over! Lol x

And considering guineapigs need to be in pairs it definitely doesn't work.

Maybe send them a friendly mail advising them that it would be far too small for a guinea pig and that they could be giving naive owners bad ideas.

As they say 'maybe even...' then I think it is more ignorance, rather than intentional. It is still sad though.

Thank goodness for the forums and well researched piggy people who can help educate others on issues relating to guinea pig welfare!

I would actually congratulate them on their hamster cage size being appropriate however actually meets RSPCA minimum standards, and yes I think its through ignorance they have said that more than anything tbh.
