What is better?

I have an aquarium,for my guinea pig I would like to know if that is good for a guinea pig?

She is also sneezing,but not that bad.....would something be wrong with her?:lol:

Aquariums are no good for GP's! I would check out the sneezing also watch her/him carefully because when my guinea pig started sneezing he also stopped eating and lost a lot of weight. It ended up that he had gotten sick and I went to the vet and he had the flu and was very close to dieing and I had to give him shots for a week. Thankfully he is much better, but it happened really fast so keep an I on her and it doesn't hurt to take her to the vet for a check up anyway. Also the cages made out of coroplast are really great I just made one and my guinea pig loves his new cages and he has a lot more space also!!! Good Luck!!!

Re: Watchful Eye

Aquariums are very bad.

They do not have enough ventilation so the ammonia from the urine starts to smell and can make your cavy very sick.

You might want to take him to a vet to make sure everythings ok...

just take the time to build a c&c cage, it's worth the investment.

Re: re

Please don't use a aquarium make a c&c cage they are cheap to make and fun to design!

Aquarium's are for fish, reptiles, amphibians, and the like -- NOT for guinea pig's!


You should build a C&C cage... or buy/make a cage that fits the size requirements.
