Hello! I am a newbie here but I have close to 20 years of experience caring for guinea pigs.
I have the most amazing piggy ever, his name is Trumpet and he is 2 years old. He was surrendered to me along with his brother who passed away 3 months ago. The day after losing his cage mate I received a heavily pregnant female that was abandoned. She ended up giving birth 3 days later and had 3 pups, but unfortunately one was stillborn and one passed the day after birth. The surviving baby was a sweet little boy. Long story short at 4 weeks old I had to separate the baby from his mother. So I thought it would be great for Trumpet to have a buddy again. They got along as if they had known each other for years! So I decided I couldn’t take baby Donald away from Trumpet. So I adopted him.
Now my question…….
Trumpet and Donald are currently in a 2x4 C&C. But Donald is getting bigger and more space is needed.
So I have another cage that’s exactly the same as the one they are in. Their cage is on top of a table. I want to put the other cage under the table and was wondering how to make it so that they could safely go from the top to the bottom and vice versa???
Someone told me to get this exhaust hose that is durable and bendable. It’s 5.9 inches in diameter and can stretch to about 6.5 feet long.
I think I can make it work with a lot of trial and error….. but I’m wanting to know if anyone has ever done this successfully???? Any advice or suggestions would be greatly appreciated!! Thanks in advance!!!
Sorry for the very long introduction
