Just so you can get to know me a little, I have only one cavy her name is peachy. She is a fawn color, I will hopefully get pictures soon. I've had her for about a month or so. I've had GP's since I was 10 so almost 7 years. I also hav 2 hampsters, 2 gerbils, 2 birds, and a humungous (sp?) goldfish who is 3. My family is rescuing a dog on sunday and that is why I got a smaller store cage. The only room the dog can't go in is to small for anything bigger.
 
Hiya. Are you from Berkshire, in England? Welcome to the forums. How big is your cage at the moment? Is it big enough for another pig?
 
Welcome !!!
I have 5 piggies, 7 hamsters, 3 rabbits, 2 birds, 2 iguanas and alot of fish :)
 
Hi! If you need to block the cage from the dog, just make a lid. Those cages are really too small. You should also get the pig a buddy--they need to be housed in pairs. See www.cavyspirit.com/sociallife.htm. Also, I'm pretty sure you know about their unlimited hay and water, Oxbow Cavy Performance (under a year) and Oxbow Cavy Cuisine (over a year), and daily veggies to help with vitamin c. Welcome!
 
welcome to the forum. let us know if you have any questions! the people here are great.
 
Hey no I have a one piggy cage. But we do hold her very often and she is getting quite tame. I would like to get those other cages but cannot afford one right now maybe soon. I am hopefully getting a job that is more reliable and then i can treat peachy to a larger cage and a friend. Also everyday she gets to run around in a pen that is plastic so i cannot use for a cage. Yes I am from the Berkshires New England.
 
I think your petstore cage is fine. It says in your profile that it is 36in x 40in which is a fine size. Seeing as the reccomended amount of space is 36in x 36in (7.5 sq. ft.) for one pigg according to the CavyCages Standards. So really unless your dimensions are wrong or I read them wrong you dont really even need to make a CC cage right now.

Sorry, I meant are you from berkshire, in england, in the uk! Seems like she is getting a lot of care and attention =) Hopefully a new cage will come soon, but the one you have now is a perfect size for one piggy
 
Yes, it is ok for now. However, as you get that new job, please do expand to add another pig and some more room. Keep us posted!
 
Welcome Animalhut210!! Glad to have you! Feel free to to ask us anything even though im sure you're taking good care of your cavy!!! : D but mncavylover is right guinea pigs are much happier in pairs! Welcome!~! Hope you like it here!!
