Question How long?

How much floor time should a pig have every day? My pig gets about 2-3 hours of time every day. I was wondering, is that enough? How much floor time do your guinea pigs get?

Re: How long?

My 2 pigs have a 2x8 cage with a 1x2 loft....and they just got a new floortime setup (http://www.guineapigcages.com/forum/...time-idea.html) and I plan on giving them about 2 hours a day in it. But it depends on how big your cage is for how much floortime they should get.

Re: How long?

I think that sounds about adequate, maybe even a bit more since I know right now Coco is in a smaller cage.

What do you let him do or what does he do while he's having floortime? Does he have toys or hay and places to run around?

Re: How long?

During floor time he has about 9 sq.ft. of room and he has lots of toys! He has his pigloo, and his tube and some dental chews. I try to encourage playing but it doesn't work. He also has his water bottle and the occasional baby carrot.
