Hi Nibles230! It looks like some of our fellow forum members already gave you some info on cuddle cups and cozies. I got mine from a shop on Etsy (etsy.com). You can choose from a nice selection of fabric patterns, and they are not expensive at all. I get a lot of stuff for my piggies (i.e. cozies, cuddle cups, cage liners & pads, fleece huts, hammocks, waterproof picnic blanket for floor time, etc.) on Etsy. Everything that I have purchased for my piggies on Etsy is very well-made, too. Just enter the website and do a search; you'll see that you have a lot to choose from. Have fun!

Thanks for the info!

Hello and Welcome! Adorable piggies

 

[Nibles230]

Hey guys, I have one question, Oreo and Snicki are 2 years old. Is that old would you say?

 

[Cogni]

No, healthy piggies can live from 5 to 10 years. Although 10 would be something like a 100-year-old human, I think. 7 or 8 seems to be a very good old age for a guinea pig, although some well-taken-care-of piggies do not make it that far.

They are really cute. When you do hold them be sure to support their middle as well as their butts, with two hands. You will probably be able to tell if they're uncomfortable and flailing or more relaxed and stable in your hands.

What kind of a ramp/stairs goes up to their second level? When I had a plain ramp my guinea pigs wouldn't use it. If you put a side wall on the ramp it so it's safer they might go up there. It doesn't have to be super high, even three or four inches would probably make them feel more secure making the trek up it.

Well it is a plain one, they won't go up it so I toke it out...
