I have had my guinea pig for about 2 months now, his name is oscar, and i got him from a friend of mine who had him for 3 years but couldnt keep him any more. he came with a cage from the pet store, food, water bottle, everything i needed. I am obsessed with knowing everythong about the animal before i get it so i have the best things, but he was a surprise gift. When i went to do research about guinea pigs i saw several things that needed to be changed: He needed a companion, and he definitly needed a bigger cage because the one he was in was only 5 square feet. Im only 13, so i knew my parents probably wouldnt let me spend too much money, but when i asked, they said no they wernt getting another guinea pig because he had been fine for 3 years by himself and he was fine now, and they wernt going to spend any more money on a bigger cage. I try to reason with them about getting another one for him, because I know its really neccessary, but they wont let me. I figured, if i cant get him a friend, he could at least have a bigger cage, but they wont spend money, so now I need to find a way to create a bigger cage with little to no money that I can do on my own, because my parents probably wont help. I have an idea of making his cage in the closet, which has no doors, and is very open and wont be too cold, and i have already gone over the problems about cages in the closet, but its open and not too cold. I have fleece, which i want to use for bedding, and a litterbox type thing with bedding in it for him, which he already uses in his small cage, i just need ideas on how to make the base, which should be plastic and the walls. Any ideas would be halpful, because right now i need all the help i can get, i have no idea what to do.
