    I would do the 2x5, bigger is better. I can't fit a 2x5 in my room so I have a 2x4 with a 2x1 L shape cage. So it is the same size as a 2x5 just not in a straight line. Click image for larger version.

    There are thousands of cage designs in the photo galleries on this site.

    GPs do fine with air conditioning and ceiling fans -- there are both in the room my pigs live in.

    But if you've got a snuffly pig, or one that you can hear breathing, you need to take him to the vet. Things can go wrong with GPs very quickly, and a bad upper respiratory infection can kill a pig in less than a day.

    Eye boogers and heavy breathing is a sign of URI. Please take your pig to a vet.

    Even if they've seemed to have stopped, bring them to the vet. Guinea Pigs can hide their symptoms very well.

    If you don't already have a vet, go back in time and price shop using the phone book. I just went down the list, and said "Hi, I have a guinea pig, and was wondering how much it would cost to get an exam." If they treat them, ask how much experience the vet has with GPs. I almost went to a vet that charged me $60 PER PIG and barely saw them. But using that way, I now have a vet that charges $45 a pig and will give me a discount if I bring them both in.

    It seems like a waste of time, but totally worth it especially if money is tight. It can't hurt.

    I second that, the pig really should go to the vet even if the symptoms have stopped. A URI can and will kill your pigs. As for a cage design, go as big as you possibly can. I've rearranged my room 3 times to finally find what will work for my cage.
