Search for it. There are some old threads about hammocks for guinea pigs.

Hang them very low so they can get in easily, and not be injured if they fall out.

Is these measurements ok for a Guinea Pig to live in?

It is the bare minimum for one pig. Two sows that get along very well together might do ok in it, but really need more room. And it's not at all suitable for two boars.

Okay. What the perfect size for 2 boars?

Because that what I'll have, when I get my recent Guinea Pig a friend.

If I decided to start using fleece bedding. Could I possibly make fleece bedding where I can reuse it?

I know there's probably other threads about a hay bag, but I was needing to know if I could make a hay bag out of an old pair of jeans?

And if it's okay to do so, is there anything special I need to put in it or etc???

Thanks.

Got a new Guinea pig, both boys. This is good behavior, right?

That looks normal to me. As long as they don't fight to the point of drawing blood it's all normal

Thank you. When I got my boys they must of been "bullied" because they have wounds on their ears. But they're doing well with each other

They are cute when they yawn! Or stretch and yawn, that always makes me smile.

I bought cilantro at Walmart today, it's fresh. Need to know if I need to rinse it with water or can I just give it to them?

You need to wash all vegetables before giving them to your pigs.
