I can personally attest to the fact that the extra large Marchioro cages are not easily available, are incredibly expensive and do not provide adequate space. The only experience I have is with our own 2 guinea pigs. I believe that I have a moral and ethical obligation to provide any animal brought into our family with the highest quality of life possible. That is why the Marchioro now sits empty in the basement. I hope it will never see the light of day unless I need it to quarantine a new adopted pig. Although the health and happiness of our boys were the ONLY points of reference I needed to make the change, I would not have known how to make the change without this site/forum. Is there any standing room left on the soapbox?
