Thanks for the very informative response Rattie Mom. You're comparison between rats, pigs and rabbits really was interesting. My own rats were lazy boys and slept in their own poo, so I was nervous for a minute that guinea pigs were dirtier, when I noticed the litter box point. My own rats were very much NOT litter trained.

For my guinea pigs I was planning to hang their hay over a seperate box with bedding in it so that they would (hopefully) do most of their peeing and pooing there. Would this help with the smell if the rest of the cage had fleece?
