Hi!
We have a pair of boy guinea pigs in a 2x4 with a 1x2 kitchen. It's a c&c cage with a home made chloroplast kitchen. The problem is, the boys make such a mess that their kitchen floor gets super gross and stained.
We use fleece in the main part of the cage, and shavings in the kitchen. They also have a huge amount of hay in their kitchen to play/sleep/eat in. I try to make sure to scoop out wet bedding and refresh 1-2 times a week, and we strip a d are clean the whole cage once a week. It never gets stinky and ammonia-y.
When we cleaned the kitchen today, the bottom of the kitchen was stained and gross. Have others had trouble with this? I couldn't fully scrub it clean. Have others had trouble with urine staining the chloroplast? Is there a better option that the coro kitchen? I've been looking for a cat litter pan or storage box I could try ... but nothing the right size yet. (I use cement tubs and starlite containers in our ratties' critter nation cage instead of the shelves and theyre great....wondering if theres a similar trick for piggies?)
Thanks in advance
