I got the uhaul blankets at a uhaul store - like where they sell boxes and moving supplies. You want to buy them brand new - they're the recycled denim (not quilted) ones. They're extremely absorbent I used fleece over towels the first week or so and it did fine. The towels don't seem to dry out...

Thank you! It is very easy - just strips of fleece put over an embroidery hoop. I was watching a show and wanted a no-sew option so I wouldn't have to pull out the sewing machine haha. I need to make a second. After I wash these, I'll likely sew them in place so I don't have to overlay them...

I did carefresh for a few days before I knew there was no way I'd be happy keeping up with that Fleece was on sale $3/yard. I got a couple yards (Ok, probably more like 4 lol) and 2 uhaul blankets ($15 for both I believe). Out of that, I've made two complete sets of cage liners. Make sure you...

So I'm thinking my corner hideys were just too small. I made the boys a "canopy" a couple nights ago and they adore it. It let us take out one pigloo (gotta get another embroidery hoop before I can make a second). I also realized they're able to scale the 3" wall separating the midwest from the...

I use a black and decker chv1410L. It's cordless, lasts a long time on a single charge, is powerful, and its battery isn't temperamental and loses charge if you don't wait til its drained, or it gets old or whatever. I use it for all of our pets and random stuff on teh floor. Easy

I have fleece in the kitchen area, but keep the hay in a bag above a corner litter box. The guinea pigs love to climb in it, but it keeps the hay pretty confined to just that container. I empty it out daily, give it a quick rinse (wash twice a week). For the poops on the fleece, I use a...

You can fold it before putting it in - but that adds extra layers of fleece Or you can fold it under the absorbant layer, tucking it under Or you can cut I made liners. I measured the fleece, added room for the seam allowance, then cut around. I cut the absorbent layer to be exactly the size...

We have two cats and just close the cage up with a lid, the cats can't get to them. When we had the cage on an elevated area and my husband was worried about the cats knocking it awry or something crazy, we just anchored the side to the wall. Any way to repurpose your existing small cage? The...

they love it :) They also help with cleaning the cage, but since I clean it so often during the day and we have a trough to catch the hay, there isn't so much for them to do with that now

If this configuration works out well, what we'll likely wind up doing is modifying the end of the midwest cage so it'll lay flat, then cut the coroplast out there. Then there wont' be a need for the ramp. I have plans to make a canopy system like the fleece forest, but circular, to see if they'd...

The only thing in the middle is the wooden bridge for chewing. The other thing is just the towels rolled up for a ramp til my husband figures out a better solution. I had a triangle up but nobody used it - they both prefer the full cave like feel I guess. I can have my husband cut a second hole...

OK with the suggestions here I rearranged their cage a bit tonight. I took out the dividing wall and made a makeshift ramp with a folded towel. We've been using the smaller area as a kitchen, but for tonight I wanted to try it out as a separate pig area. So each boy is on an end of the cage...

My husband is allergic to cats, dogs, and pretty much everything animalwise :( He doesn't react to the guinea pigs nearly as bad as he does to our cats - but he does take zyrtec daily. We have two cats. One is very soft and mellow, but she is skittish and doesn't like being held. The other...

I started by sewing together 1 layer of fleece with 2 layers of towels. It was a pain to sew together, and if I had to cut the towels the fray was awful so I had to bind the edges - lots of time. Then, I did a fleece "pillowcase" and put two layers of uhaul liners inside. Then sewed up the...

Throughout the day, so sometimes 2x a day, sometimes more. I have a dustbuster and it takes less than a minute to get all the poops. They keep their hay in their pan - before I got the pan, the hay was by far the messiest thing. My 6 year old replaces their water daily. My 4 year old checks and...

It's a midwest with a c&C add on at the end. The total size is 2ft x 5.75 ft

Thank you :) When we set up the pigpen as an exercise area - we set it up as like a 5' x 5' area, and after an initial exploration they just go and hide. Will they start doing these laps as they get more comfortable here? Right now, we're pretty limited on the ability to expand the floor...

I can remove the end of the midwest - it's what is currently the barrier between the two. Would I then just make a ramp that covers the length of it? Should I set up a second hay area? Right now we have two food dishes and water bottles, but only one hay area (though I did sew it as a bag...

I thought the same when we set it up - that the ramp would become a point of conflict. But I wasn't sure how else to bridge the lip between the midwest and the coroplast. What do you mean take a whole side out and make it a kitchen? Because of the way the midwest and the coroplast are at the...

Thank you for the reply! I didn't really expect them to cuddle, just everything suggested they shouldn't be alone and I wanted them to at least have a neighbor. I was just thrown off that after 2 weeks they flew at each other. I guess I had assumed that the aggression would go down, not up...
