I have 2 boys (2ish years old) that I rescued a few months ago. Han and Chewy. They've never really gotten along well, but no major fights so we expanded their cage and left them to figure themselves out. Last night, Han went ballistic. Their usual rumblestrutting and grumbling escalated to...

Thanks! I can't go out any more than the 4 squares (going to 5 would mean it would be in our walkway), so my only option is to go from 2X4 to 3X4. But I'm worried my short little arms won't be able to reach far enough to clean. Or, doing a U shape? Like, 3 wide, 2 wide, 3 wide? I currently...

Curious about this too! I have two boars in a 2X4, which is not enough for them, so I was toying with the idea of doing 3X4 but then how do I reach far enough to clean!

Han is on his way to win the award for Grumpiest Piggie Ever :rolleyes: I just keep loving on him and his cage mate (Chewy, who follows Han's lead, so if Han is tooth chattering, Chewy will follow suit) but they're rescues so their trust levels are low/non-existent. And for every step...

Do they have a litter/kitchen area? That seems to be helping us with keeping the mess to one area of the cage. The rest is fleece. I just switched their litter over to wood pellets and I'm amazed at how much less it smells than Carefresh. And I have two boys! So they're already extra stinky! I...

I've often read that the square footage required applies to the bottom level and top levels don't count... could you borrow wood from your planned second level to make your ground/bottom level bigger? Maybe have a loft up top instead of a full second level? They need 7.5 square feet on the...

I ended up making my own out of coroplast, since most of the store bought ones have only one entrance/exit which was causing cornering issues with my two grumpy fuzzbuts. They seem to really love fleece forests, which are really easy to make yourself (google them for lots of ideas)

The loft seemed to help with these two. There have been a handful of squabbles over the ramp, but mostly one has claimed the upper level as his, which gets them out of each other's hair. I also ditched the store bought hides and made my own that had 2 exits, so no one could get trapped. Always...

I guess my (unfortunate) follow up question is... if I CAN'T give them a bigger space, is it better to rehome them? I worry that there are already so many piggies that are looking for homes, they would be happier in my less than adequate space vs someone elses even smaller space or even smaller...

They're going to have to live with 2x4 for now while I try and dream up ways to shuffle my living room around (I'm downsizing kids toys, so I'm going to see if I can move them to a more spacious spot!). @bpatters if 2x4 isn't big enough, what's the "ideal" space for two boars? (I mean, ideal...

Hey! Thanks for alleviating some of my worry, I'm going to leave them well enough alone since I've tweaked their cage a bunch since we brought them home, they probably need a break from me futzing with it. Unfortunately 2X4 is as big as we can go right now (hard to see from my picture, but...

Hello! Just joined this forum as I've recently (2 weeks ago) adopted two male guinea pigs who were in need of a new home. They're my first piggies so I'm currently researching everything I can get my hands on! Han & Chewy are (we were told) approx. 2 years old. They've been a bit neglected...
