Hi we are new to guinea pigs. We bought two male babies yesterday. Currently have the tiny guys set up in a prefab store cage foe small animals that has the loft. I can see from ready they will need more room then that. I bought the bedding for them but am lobbing the idea of fleece.

My daughter has a closet that is 3x8 with door openings that are 4 foot. She doesn't really use that closet because she has a big one in her bathroom that she has all her clothes in. My thoughts were to take off the doors and our the C@C type caging at the opening and put the corplast on the floor that would make a great habitat.

Please give me your thoughts on this idea.

Thanks,
Lotokids

Welcome!
My first bit of advice is to double check to be sure they are both boys ;) DO NOT trust a pet store to tell you the sex.
This forum has all the info you will need, read as much as you can to learn about cages and food needs.
I think the closet idea sounds good as long as there is enough air flow.

I bought them for a vet. Double checking the sex is a good idea and I was planning on it but I sure hope the vet knows what they are talking about! ;)

I think the closet space would be perfect. I have always wanted to do that with my closet (about the same size as yours) but I have lots of stuff in it so that wouldn't work. But it a very good size for 2 piggies. and it also keeps the cage out of the way for cleaning and things such as that.
