WHAT TO LOOK FOR IN A GUINEA PIG CAGE
When it comes to guinea pig cages, not all are created equal.
There are a few features you’ll want to look for when shopping for your new furry friend’s home.
By keeping these things in mind, you’re sure to find the perfect guinea pig cage!
THINGS TO LOOK FOR IN A GUINEA HUTCH
SUFFICIENT SPACE
Size is one of the most important considerations for pet parents — guinea pig cages need to be big enough for your guinea pigs to move around in, with room to explore.
Just because they are little pets doesn’t mean guinea pigs don’t need plenty of space!
When purchasing, consider how many guinea pigs you plan to own in the future and how much space they will need.
Guinea pig cages must also allow room for additional guinea pig belongings – water bottle, hay rack or other types of hay feeders, feeding bowl, and igloos for them to hide under.
EASY CLEANING
Guinea pigs need to be cleaned out very regularly. If you let your guinea pig’s cage floor get too dirty, it can smell bad and lead to your guinea pigs feet becoming sore.
Choose a wood hutch that is easy to reach into and access for cleaning. You ideally want full width double doors or an opening roof.
A wood hutch with a slide out metal or plastic bottom makes cleaning hassle free. Simple pull out the metal or plastic base, tip the dirty bedding into the bin and replace with fresh bedding.
