Floor time?

Thanks.
I knew what it was but isn't it basically giving them 2 seperate homes?
Alot of the pics I've seen have just as much stuff in them as the permament
house so it's confusing as to why they need 2?
I havn't done that, is that bad? I only have 1 big cage for them.

Ok that's what I thought, they are inquisitive little creatures!

I just didn't have a 2nd area that was secured so I wondered. I still let them out though.

Floor time:
Even if you have a big cage, and especially if you don't, it is very important to the health and happiness of your guinea pig to get daily exercise. Floor time is more than lap time. It is providing a safe environment large enough for your guinea pig in which to run around and explore. Safe means protecting areas that your guinea may get into that he can't get out of, like behind refrigerators, inside chairs or sofas, behind immovable shelving, in walls, etc. It also means making sure wires are inaccessible, not just unplugged. Guinea pigs have been known to eat telephone cords and cause themselves major internal damage. Electrocution and fires from biting plugged in wires have also been known to happen.

Floor time gives them a chance to get exercise and it provides a change and stimulation for them. I think it would be boring for them if they had to stay in a cage day in day out

Thanks for that,
I do let them out but I just dont have a 2nd caged area.
They usually stay where I am around the sofa or go into my kitchen. Gee that sounds good, if I'm not on the couch I'm in the kitchen BooHoo....There is cords at
my tv's etc that they could get to if I wasnt watching but I am.
I only get them out when my kidlets goto bed so my attention is all theirs.
They arne't allways on my lap..probally 5 minutes or so of the hour I guess.

Their pretty happy, I have finally started to see them popcorning!!

During floor time are you supposed to play with the piggies yourself or let them run around together/ by themselves?
