Exercise Best playpen for a guinea pig?

[Jessie Bates]

Hi everyone! I just bought a new guinea pig and am looking for the best possible play pen for him! I would like a decently large one that could come with a mat! Does anyone have any suggestions or good playpens for guinea pigs?

The cheapest thing is a box of grids -- about $25 at Walmart, Bed Bath & Beyond, etc. Loosely zip tie them in a long line, but don't join them at the ends. You can set them up in any configuration, to fit any space, and they fold like an accordion for storage.

That play space from Petco is pretty small for a floor time space.

I use the All Living Things guinea pig pen connected to a kaytee hamster pen from when i had hamsters, and i set it up against the wall for even more space. I use my leftover uhaul with towels as a mat.

I bought four wire shelves from Home Depot (about $5 each) and zip-tied two each together. They fold flat and I store them folded. I then use a U-Haul pad as a mat. it's this set-up here:

I use this system for outside too, it works great.
