Hi everyone!
I am new to guinea pigs, we have 2 10month old boars that we 'acquired' when we bought a second hand cage not having been told they were living in it at the time and would also be delivered!
They have been arguing about the house in their small cage (its a medium size standard one sold at pet shops) and so I have decided to build them a much bigger cage.
I have a couple of questions. Is it ok for their cage to be on the floor? They currently live in the lounge as there is nowhere else in the house that they will fit. I have noticed that some people with home made cages have fleece or similar lining their levels, is this safe? How often does it need to be cleaned? And how is it attached?
I'm sure I will think of more questions but thats it for now. Thank you for any answers you can give.
