hi everyone, I introduced myself a couple of weeks back, with my first ever guniea pig, Gandalf. I still have a lot to learn when it comes to these lovely little animals but I'm getting there I think. Gandalf has been neutered since about a week and we also got a second guniea pig , a female called Nelly , they are both in cages next door to each other at the moment. They have to stay this way for another 5 weeks. I am hoping to get a c&c cage, for when they do. If someone can point me in the right direction please ? And what size would I need for two ?
They are both in cages , that are about 3 foot by about a foot and half. Which isn't ideal but they seem to have plenty of space to do crazy things at the moment.
When we first got nelly she didn't really come out of her hidey house for the first 4 days , dragging her food into her house and only comming out to drink when we were not in the room. Well over the last 2/3 days she has turned right round. Still runs away if we try to catch her (but have only tried once to move her ) but she comes out and eats while we are in the same room and this evening has been doing lots of laps and jumps , which from what I have read is a good thing, right? Both have them have been on major mad ones this evening , Gandalf has been going into his I'm house and flipping it over and then lapping his cage over and over ! Been really fun to watch. Bit of a pointless post I know , but I find I just end up watching them all evening , also another thing is Gandalf recently has started sleeping out side of his hidey house , just lying down stretched out. Why ?

Quite a bargain though!
and he was there apparently as too dominent with males, I didn't realise at the time they like to be in groups/pairs untill I got him home and read up about them. Makes me wonder if someone else had got him would they of thought to neauter him and get him a wife or would they of kept him alone forever
