My husband and I are first-time guinea-pig owners. We adopted Beau from the Humane Society in February after our dog died. After we found this forum and the whole Cavy Spirit web site, we built him a 2x4 C&C cage. We kept checking with the Humane Society until they had another male piggy, and we got Riley in April. We decided that 2x4 wasn't big enough, so we enlarged the cage to 3x4.
Riley is the newer and younger pig, but he's the dominant one. He's so determined to demonstrate his dominance, in fact, that poor Beau wasn't getting a moment's rest. So we divided their cage.
The piggies take more time and attention than we had thought, but they're so adorable they're worth it. We're all slowly getting used to each other. We really appreciate all the info on this web site. Thanks for helping us and the cavies out with all your knowledge and effort.
Here are pics of Beau, Riley, and the present configuration of their cage.
