Cages for Guinea Pigs

Monday October 26, 2009

Guinea Pig by Lianne McLeod DVMMany cages marketed for guinea pigs are really much too small, especially considering guinea pigs are social and do best if kept in pairs or groups. The proper cage size and other items you'll need to house guinea pigs are covered in "Cages for Guinea Pigs."

The great thing about guinea pigs is that they are not escape artists, so it is easy to make a homemade cage that is safe and very roomy.
