Im not being funny but how would you like it to say you miss treat your animals! its upsetting especially when its not even true!

**Myspoiltpiggies** · #43 09-24-05, 05:33 pm

Look, I believe you, they are loved..etc.. I have no problem with the way they are kept. It's just the size of the cages. As some of her guinea pigs have passed on.. maybe now she can make the hutches a little bigger? You new members.. you are her friends so you are bound to stick up for her.. but it won't make it any better - the hutches are too small

No one has said anything about anyone 'mistreating' their animals. The hutches are just too small, that's all we're saying.

The above post had nothing to do with you, hollypigs.

I would like you to try to spend a month in your smallest bathroom and then tell me how that feels. Your cages are glorified litter boxes.

Yes but by saying there is not enough space then your basicly saying they are not in the right care , which they are.

They can get ill with that amount of space. Also, how do you fit toys in those cages? They are probably bored.

I was exactly like you when I first joined. I was breeding and I was keeping them in small cages - about double the size of yours. Now I don't breed and we are making c&c cages for them tommorow. They aren't going to be huge but they will be double the size of the cages they have right now so they will be happy.

I had to have one of my pigs in a 2.5 square foot cage for a week after healing from an invasive vet procedure. She was depressed, lethargic, and bored. As soon as she moved back into my 13 square foot cage, she was popcorning and full of energy again. It proves itself.

I honestly feel deeply sorry for the conditions your pigs have to live in.

a pig with lots of space can feel insecure and lost and scared! with those hutches they feel happy they are healthy and can run round the hutches. they get fed watered floor time and lots of cuddles!

You read that out of 'Guinea pig lopaedia' didn't you? That book has some cr** information in there. C&C cages has proved the book wrong. Guinea pigs popcorn when they are happy - not scared. So explain to me why guinea pigs popcorn in these huge cages and not in your little block hutches. Oh yes, silly me, they can't even popcorn in these hutches.. its too small

Prove that to me. Pigs want to be exporing and running laps, not cooped up to the point where they can barely turn around.

Lap time is great, but it isn't sufficient for the happiness of a cavy. They need big cages.

well how can you prove they like HUGE cages??
mine are actully much bigger than that much its not a cc

**citronsoul** · #56 09-24-05, 05:49 pm

If they're scared, it's because they're getting used to the surroundings. I've had pigs in smaller cages before & I always thought they were happy. But they were never as active as the two I have now (housed in a 2x4). The extra space really paid off. I think I would describe the difference as "content" vs. "ecstatic hyper happy pig."

Because they popcorn, run laps, and make a noisy ruckus. They don't and can't do that is 2 square foot cages.

Oh, and we have hundreds of testimonials, too. http://www.cavycages.com/cgi-bin/gbookit/gbookit.pl

GuineaPigLopaedia book was written by a very good Veterinarian Guinea Pig Specialist.

That I didn't want to enter their 'kitchen' like a few other people have trashed on here. I were dragged into it against my own will. So your so called 'warning' is a load of crap.

Urm, here is a stange question for you all, are you all guinea pig physcologists?? Well you must think you are.
