The birthday of my first guinea pig Nymphae is coming up in April 25th (or close to it, I'd need to check to be sure..). And I wanted to do something special with her and Leila's cage to celebrate it. It looks rather bland and I thought my piggies would enjoy a slight change of scenery! I would anyway.. :p

Have you guys ever made a theme-cage? What are suitable items to use for these cages that aren't dangerous to their health? (Plastic flowers are a no-no!) And the most fun part, could you perhaps show me an example of a good theme-cage! lol

A little side-info:
The cage I've got consists out of an average petstore cage, put inside a huge run with a thick load of newspapers on the floor. It's got a hangmat, one of these.. pipe thingies and a plush bed.

AnimalHouse36: Yep, exactly what I meant! Thanks! :D
About the fleece. It says the urine will go through it, but then it would damage the floor. Should I still put the newspapers under it or should I go with something like towels instead to absorb it?

You should put an absorbant material under it. I use puppy pads.

Some people use a mix. Like puppy pads, towels, and newpaper. You should experiment until you find what works for you.
