Hi All,
New to Guinea pigs and just trying to figure it all out. Lurking these forums was a great way to get started and basically the exact opposite of what the pet store told us! So glad I cam here.
Anyways, I'm just wondering about general cleaning of the cage. Right now my daughter (10) and I use gloves and spot clean the cage to get the poop out. They generally poop in 1 corner, but it seems like its tracked all over the place. And they drag the hay everywhere! Is this normal? Every picture I see the cages are spotless! I have the cages lines with fleece and the one just keeps trying to burrow underneath it.
Also, is anyone else's afraid of heights? Ours won't climb to their little loft and when I put them up there (which was where the pellets were until I figured out they were afraid) they would panick and then squeak and ROLL off the platform!
Is there a beginner forum where theses questions are asked? Maybe I missed it! Thanks for any help and advice!
