Hello all!
I'm new to this forum and slightly new to guinea pig ownership. I came here because I have a few questions before I bring some furry friend home.
I am currently looking to adopt a pair of piggies but before I do I want to be completely prepared. I have started setting up the cage and I hope I am going in the right direction. I have 1X1 ft. grids that I acquired and have arranged them into a guinea pig cage. The bottom level is 1.5 X 2.5 grids in length and the top is 1 X 3.5, would that be enough space for 2 piggies? If needed I can rearrange the top layer and make other needed modifications. I've attached a pic of what the cage looks like so far. It is sitting on a rather large desk and the black bottom base in the picture is the bottom lining of what use to be a dog kennel. I still need to add a lining to the top level and sides of the cage. Here is my attempt:
I want to stay clear away from buying from a breeder or pet store, so if anyone knows of a pair of piggies in New Mexico who need a home I'm willing to drive almost anywhere in my state and maybe southern Colorado to adopt them. I have experience working as a vet assistance and can provide complete care in all ways possible.
Thanks!
