I was wondering which is better for guinea pigs? A straight cage or an Lshaped cage?
I was thinking the straight cage as its easier for them to do laps in it, but what actually is best?

I had a L shaped cage 2x5 on one side and 2x4 on the short side of the L. My piggies would zoom around the corner like it wasn't even there. I had to take the bend off of my cage because it just took up too much space in the room. I turned it into a straight 2x7 with a 2x2 loft. They still zoom around and up and back down the ramp. So I would say whatever works with the space you have.

If I had a big enough room I would definately prefer the L just because I like seeing the whole cage and the loft covers and is a bit harder to clean. But I will say that I think my piggies really love their ramp!

So basically I am no help at all! lol
