Hi I bought 2 adorable girls at the pet store "for my children" When I got them home and set up in their new starter kit cage Right away I realized this expensive little cage is much too small for even one guinea, with their litter box, food dish and little hidey igloo thing, there is scarcely room for them to move about. I feel terrible! Fortunately I found this site right away, so Im hoping to be able to find the materials for a simple one level 2*4 cage today. I had read that guinea pigs were daytime creatures, but yesterday they hid in their igloo until night and did all their eating and pooping overnight...so is this going to be thie pattern or are they still scared? Should we hustleave them alone until they come out on their own, or should we handle them for short periods throughout the day, which is what weve been doing?
