Re: Member Names And Accounts

Hi everyone,

I'm new to the group and joined because I've recently aquired 2 guinea pigs (technically my sons' guineas, but we all know how THAT goes!). I had guinea pigs as a kid but it's been a long time, so I thought I could learn more here. I am particularly intersted in apartment-friendly, multi-level but smallish-base sized cage design. What else? Oh; our guineas are Whitey (a solid white American, non-albino) and Marbles (I think she is a Coronet, tortishell but mostly white and incredibly cute). Thanks for reading! :rolleyes:

Welcome to the forum.

You placed your intro thread in the wrong place so I went ahead and split it off from the thread you placed it in and started a new one for you.

There isn't too much you can do about a small base size for the cage. Your GPs will need between a 7.5 and 10.5 sq feet base to be really happy and healthy. Even people in the smallest of apartments have managed to fit in a cage of this size with a little creative furniture arranging though.

Are both your GPs girls? If so are you certain? Pet stores often missex GPs. I recommend triple checking yourself and if there is still any doubt to get them to a vet for sexing. The last thing you want is for them to start breeding.

Buying a folding table from Lowe's etc. and building on it is a great space saver. You use underneath for pig gear storage.

Welcome.
