If you have an appropriate sized piece of furniture, you could line it with coroplast to protect the wood. This is what I did when I converted a 2' by 4' space for a hedgehog.

Oxbow has several different lines of guinea pig pellets. You may want to compare their different lines if you want to continue feeding Oxbow.
bpatters has stated that calcium should be low (close...
I was curious about this since -- for my rabbits -- I've been a fan of Sherwood pellets. I've not looked closely at their piggie pellets.
Based on calcium alone, it seems that the KMS pellets are...
Thanks. I was hoping to find something similar to what is available at therabbithouse.com regarding rabbits. Recommendations for guaranteed analysis and any ratios to consider... similar to the...
Is there a reference somewhere that shows the nutritional recommendations for guinea pig pellets? The links I found at the Guinea Lynx site are mostly too outdated to actually link to anything. The...
The canvas waterproof fabric in your link looks like a very tough fabric that may be difficult to sew but I have not used it before. Typically PUL is the type of waterproof fabric used for such...
Is there a reason you are wanting to supplement for vit. C? Do they get veggies that have vit C and a good pellet food with stable C?
If you get a piece of fleece material (JoAnn's fabrics often has fleece on sale), as bpatters suggested, you can put a towel or something else absorbent underneath the piece of fleece. Having...
It sounds like she hasn't been fed appropriately. Pellets mixed with colorful bits and dried veg/fruit is considered junk food. No wonder she's overweight. She should be on plain pellets but it is...
Bear in mind also that hay keeps best in dark places. The sun or light will make it lose its green color. Dry and dark is ideal.
Here's the link to the chart that shows how much of each green or veggie is safe for piggies (including each color of pepper)....
When choosing how to layer your Zorb, bear in mind what it's use will be or what you want it to do. If you are trying to keep the bottom of the cage dry (underneath the piggie bedspread) then you may...
I used the material called Zorb. It can be used as a middle layer between 2 layers of fleece, OR, you can sew a spread that has a layer of fleece, Zorb under that, and PUL fabric under that. The PUL...
I cut out an opening from a plastic storage box. I put wood pellets inside on the bottom and top it with hay. I also have pellets on the rest of the kitchen level. (They only rarely are both in the...
I like to buy fresh bales from a feed store -- rather than hay that is packaged in plastic. A bale weighs over 100 lbs and is super cheap (about $16). I get it when it looks green and fresh. It's...
Could you clarify more on what you are most concerned about with the rabbit?
Having a rabbit on the porch is not a terrible idea if it is protected from foul weather. 90's would be too hot for a...
The wood pellets are considerably cheaper than Yesterday's News. I used them for my kitchen loft in my piggies' cage. The lower level was all fleece-- fleece bedspread with potty pads. The wood...
Here's a place to start learning about fleece. Once you've read through these basics, then you may be able to narrow down your questions. ;)...
Yeah. Need a heavy ceramic bowl. (or the kind that twists into a clamp)
I kept a bowl below the spout of the water bottle (I also used fleece). They then had the option of drinking the drips in the bowl as well. Kept my fleece dry!
The calcium content of the different grass hays is so similar that it is hardly worth mentioning. But if you are looking for specifics, the following has a chart listing the calcium contents:...
Have you seen the chart on this forum showing what and how much of various types of greens and veggies to feed a guinea pig? Here is the link:...
Yeah. I wait for their sales on fleece which they seem to have fairly often. At Christmas time they had some 60% off!!
^^ Here's fleece fabric....
I noticed there are also wheels attached to the pan bottom. That also doesn't help.
bpatters has the best solution. You can probably get a dustpan from the dollar store -- probably want one that...
