after some very useful comments, i decided to give the cage refit another shot, using old fleece blankets as an experiment to see if we "get on with them". any suggestions/comments as to what can be improved would be greatly appreciated as i think the cage still isn't there yet, also 3 out
cheers for explaining, can i ask another Q? how big does the litter tray have to be? I knocked up something earlier as an experiment using puppie liners, with a double layer of fleece over the top secured with some clips (same type as i have seen in one of the pics on here) to a sheet of...
I'm new here and from the UK, after looking on here and seeing fleece being used, well sorry it seemed like madness, then i've done a lot more reading and well it's seems it's now worth a try, i've tried a few different types of bedding but just feel i haven't found the right type yet...
Thankyou to all, for the replys and the advice, the hay racks are topped up throughtout the day and there is more hay behind the ramp, unlimited hay doesn't seem to stop Mo from wanting to chew anything and everything from the coroplast to my hand although after having a further mooch on here...
Thankyou both very much, I shall give it a whirl, would you suggest a straight swop or should i dilute the old food with the new over the course of a week cheers lu

Thankyou, This is sweep my little boy, he's usually such a skittish little one but he's so nosey on this pic, must of thought his greens were coming...
I'd like to thank you all again for the advice...after reading and rereading a lot of stuff on here, i decided to give it another shot at them all living together. I've cleared space to build a 5x2 with a 1x2 loft (i know it's a grid smaller than it needs to be). I got some new coroplast within...
I will hunt a new litter out this weekend also, the cardboard doesn't seem to be as absorbent as i recall, I'm also gonna treat myself to a little me time checking out all the cage designs for ideas once the kids are in bed but at present homework calls
cheers again
Thankyou both for taking the time to reply, at present i am trying to relocate a fish tank in order to upgrade there home. I will check out the social guinea pig guide again to see if i can gleen any tips.
When i first brought the boys home i had a 6x2 set up opposite the girls, the boys lived...
