I had a guinea pig as a child and now as a "grown up" with my own two girls we have decided to get two baby guinea pig girls from a rescue place.
We have been busy making our cage with the grids and coroplast. It'll be 2 grids X 4 grids when finished. I have a question about bedding. I was planning to use a newspaper layer on the bottom and then either shavings or Care Fresh or Kaytee Clean and Cozy. My number one concern is odour control as the cage will be in the family room. The next is cost. I've read about "litter pans". Can I really train them to pee and poo in there? How do I do this? We are thinking about adding a loft to the cage. Should I make the upper loft the feeding area? Any other tips would be great!
