Hello!
I'm a newbie and really enjoying all the info I've found on this site. It has helped me tremendously in making a cage. I have not adopted a guinea pig yet as I want to be fully prepared. I've finished making the outer cage and a ladder and just need to buy the tenplast to make the bottom. I will also be making a fleece to use and got some old towels to go underneath. I'm also looking into u-haul blankets but not sure they sell them in canada.
I've put my name on a list to be called by my local spca if any come in and emailed a local breeder to talk to her.
Anyone have any suggestions on what else I would need, best kind of hay, toys, etc? I will be making a fleece forest, comfy cozy, ramp cover and a tunnel. I found the shipping is just too expensive to canada so I found some videos to make all of these. It looks pretty simple.
Any tips would be much appreciated! I want to be fully prepared before I bring 2 piggies home to join my family.
This is the ladder and cage I've started. I put steps on the ladder, which will be covered with fleece, so they don't slip. Hopefully I left enough room in between each step so they don't get their feet stuck. If anyone has any suggestions to improve please let me know! I want to make the best home 2 piggies could ever have.
