What kind of cage is best?
There are many kinds of guinea pig cages. The main thing is to consider is size. Many of the cages sold in pet stores are too small for guinea pigs, especially if you have two or more living together. According to CavyCages.com, you should have a minimum of 7.5 to 10.5 square feet for one or two guinea pigs. The two cages we originally purchased, for example, are about 1.3 x 2 feet, which is only 2.6 square feet each. When we linked them together with tunnels, it made a total of 5.2 square feet, plus several feet of tunnels. That worked well for a while, until we abandoned that setup and switched to the much larger Cubes & Coroplast Cage. (See more information in questions below).
