I'm getting 2 baby guinea pigs in a weeks/month's time. (My friend bought her guinea pigs and one was pregnant, we don't agree to breeding)
I have done a lot of research before and owned two grown guinea pigs and a few babies before, I gave them to a family friend because I was moving at the time and couldn't properly find the time to give them.
I'm thinking about getting a 2x6 Jumbo C&C Cage (Wide Loft) or Jumbo 2x6 C&C Cage or maybe the XL 2x5 C&C Cage
- Coroplast walls be 6"
- Planning to use fleece, with towels underneath or pads
- I think the preferred for two is like 2x4/5? But I still want to get 2x6 (Might adopt a third pig in the further future)
- Thinking about translucent coroplast from the store, but stains might get on them, what do you think? (Also looking at pink-exclusive?-, green, royal blue, silver, yellow)
Questions:
Is this enough space for 2 full grown guinea pigs? (For when they grow bigger):
Do you suggest two females or two males? (I heard female were a lot more skittish, and males are easier to get used to you?):
Can the babies fit through the squares/grids of the C&C Cage?:
Is it worth paying the extra money for a loft? (I don't like the narrow loft so I'm going for wide):
Is 2x6 big enough for 3 piggies?:
What color coroplast do you like?:
What veggies/fruits do you feed your guinea pigs?(I'm aware that this varies from different guinea pigs, I just want to see what I should try out):
I feed baby guinea pigs alfalfa hay until they are 6 months old+ right?:
Also looking for any tips of caring for a guinea pig:
