I have a 24x 25(inches) cage, is this big enough for 2 guinea pigs? Theres a pic of it in my gallery and now it has an upper deck. There only in it at night because the have free range in there own room called the "Cavy Room". Any suggestion would be great, thanks!

I looked at your cage in your gallery, and it is 25X45, not 24X25. It's around the size of a 2X3 cube C&C. For just sleeping at night it's probably fine.

I just wanted to suggest that those cords plugged into the wall might be dangerous if the pigs decide they want to chew them. Could you plug them in somewhere else, or move the cage over, or secure them somehow?

It looks like it is a little more then 3 grids long, (maybe by an inch or two?) and 1 1/2 grids wide, certainly not a 2 x 3, but still, it is judgement call. If they don't spend much time in it, I would think it is fine. If you could expand it out to 2 grids wide in the future, that would probably be better.

I agree with the comment about the electical cord, they can be crafty little buggers!

:) I could tell it was plastic. My question was if it was coroplast or a bin. In the pictures, it looks like a large storage bin.
