Great content Sarah! Though I do feel you left out an 8th mistake: not considering second hand or 'pre loved' cages. Having a look at local classifieds for people who may be selling their old set up for whatever reason can save heaps of money and be a great source of inspiration in seeing just what is possible in the real world that you wouldn't always see in the shop photos. 😀 Hi to the piggies and I hope you all have a great day! 😀
Just make sure to have an animal appropriate disinfectant... you never know why they are getting rid of that cage. I don't know about communicable guinea pig diseases, but I have birds. I know Birds have a high degree of communicable diseases,so better safe than sorry. I keep a small bottle of F10 veterinary Disinfectant.
I finally got my piggies after more than a year of thinking and researching. I’m glad I did research a lot and did not get them earlier because I don’t think they would’ve gotten the care that they need/deserve!
As always, a brilliant video highlighting the importance of space. My 3 have a 10' x 5' space and they love being there and zoom around so fast. I also have a 6' x 4' hutch outside with an attached 6' run, they go in there for several hours (weather permitting, when not too cold or too hot). But they are always happy to go home again.
I made my own C&C cage because it was an easy and inexpensive way to get the size I wanted for my two boys. I made a 2x6 (2 sections wide and 6 sections long. Each section is a 14 inch square. I ordered the connecting cage parts from Amazon, and I bought one large piece of coraplast (about 96 inches long) from Home Depot. I chose those measurements because I already had an 8 ft long table I could put it on. I used white zip ties snd white duct tape on the coraplast and my daughter drew cute little paw prints meandering along the inside walls. I learned how to make it from a video that Scotty’s Animals has on his TH-cam channel. I started and stopped it as I was getting to each step in the process. It was super easy snd ended up costing less than $60. Then I used my barely there sewing skills and made four sets of fleece cage bottoms and about 25 “pee pads”. (My dear mother actually spent a day with me and made about 1/3 of them!) I think I will make a cage like yours whenever I need a new one. It looks even nicer!
I researched guinea pigs for two years before being able to get my two beautiful guinea pigs Cookies and Oreos they have a 2x5 c&c cage. I wanted to do a lot of research so they can have a good life and this channel helped a lot and still helps me today. :D
Thank you for this! I've been wanting guinea pigs for 6 years and have been doing my research for those 6 years. I started my guinea pig "obsession" when I was about 8, now I'm 14 and I still dream about owning my own guinea pigs! Hopefully my parents will agree this time! (there were reasons why my parents said no for owning guinea pigs) Your videos help me a lot and I learn so much so thank you!!
Brilliant that you do the research. I had guinea pigs as a kid, not so much info then, no google/internet etc. I'm now 63 and adopted 3 rescue pigs and I love them - complete time wasters, but such happy times. Hopefully your parents will come around, especially as you've done all the research. Good luck
A very helpful video as always Sarah. My six piggies have free run of a room that has been made guinea pig safe and they have their fleece and boxes in one corner of the room where they choose to spend most of their time but they like to go for a wander sometimes.
I just got two guinea pigs and I love them so much already. I just upgraded their temporary small cage to a Kavee 4x2 and it was such a joy to see how happy it made them!
This video was soooo helpful! I just bought a cage for my Guinea pigs but I’m only gonna get the Guinea pigs after my exams…Ur videos inspired me to get Guinea pigs.Thank u sooo much
Thank you so much for this very needed video! I have wanted to add a loft to my cage for ages, but I didn’t know if it would be safe. I also wanted to know about lids, since I have a not-so-gentle-towards-animals dog, and I am in the process of expanding the cage, and I didn’t want him to hurt my girls. Thank you so much, Sarah❤️
thinking about getting either a C&C cage or just building my own one once my piggies get a bit bigger. The people in the pet shop sold me the biggest in door cage they have but after watching your videos I think it's definitely too small for them once they grow up a bit so gonna get saving up! Thank you for sharing your knowledge! Xx
Great video Sarah and some really useful content. I agree considering second hand for cages and runs is worth a mention. Gorgeous piggies as always 🥰xx
@@SqueakDreams Hi squeak I’m a fan, and when my family got me Two guinea pigs, they bought a cage you think is too small because if we bought a bigger one, it wouldn’t fit in our small apartment. I hope that’s okay with you
Definitely. I have sold all of my C&C 2x4 cages, piglus, bowls etc as my pigs have passed away. I am currently selling the Little Friends 1m x 1m square indoor cage in very good condition and for a very good price as my last pig passed away at 6 and a half at the end of June. I'm having a bit of a pig break for a while as I am heavily pregnant with my son who is due in a few weeks and I already have a nearly 4 year old daughter who has always been besotted with our pigs as she's been surrounded by them since she was born. I have had 40+ rescue pigs since 2011 and had a guinea pig themed wedding that was featured in a pet magazine that Sarah mentioned in one of her videos many years ago :)
You should have known my Henni. He climbed out of his enclosure all the time to greet me at the door when coming home. He also jumped onto an ottoman to sit beside my brother’s bunny when I was visiting. So not all piggies act the same. ❤️❤️❤️
I got second hand C&C panels from Facebook Marketplace very cheap! I have utilised them to make a floor enclosure with an easy lid over the main living /sleeping space as I have cats. With the cage panels I have made a series of gates using zip-ties and easily removable clamps, so I can effectively close the gates when I want to confine them to the main safe living area and, when the cats are not around, open them so they can run and play on the main run. SO easy to make it fit your space and "herd" the pigs when you're cleaning etc. xx
I learned the cage mistakes and I need a really good cage but I just saw over priced cages and to small so to me its just a little hard just to find a piggy cage for then and the c&c cages another of them were so small and i saw alot of cages with ramps! And those one with like five storys like buildings!!
Can you please do a turtorial on how to make the hidy houses and beds because I am getting a guinea pig soon and I love your hidy houses and beds and I would love to try to make them!
The thing is here in Scotland our rooms are very small and can only get a cage that fits, the cage is always open so that they can come out anytime they want though
Very good video, very informative I really liked the part where you said about getting 2...3....5....more...how did this happen?! LOL If you have as many as you can manage and can provide everything properly like space, time with them etc then thats all good 👍
Curious, I just got one. And we had to change cages alot since we had her about 3 diff times. And we feel we should put her back in her old cage. Her old cage was small but she was more comfortable and happy in a small one. The big ones she doesnt like.
I think a lot has to come down to owner responsibility as well. If you’re going to get a pet you should research how to care for them properly including enclosure size, proper diet etc. Yes the shops and manufacturers are partly to blame but if owners did their research before they got a pet then it wouldn’t be as much as an issue x
I think too many people get lured into the cheap cages too because pet stores do bundles. It's easier for them to grab the bundle than to get them together. You are not actually saving anything other than a little bit of time. Edit: Forgot to say - Great video, once again!
I work at a pet store and I don't even recommend any cage we carry currently because they're too expensive and not at all suitable! I tell them it's much easier and more fun to build your own! Not to mention LEAGUES cheaper
Off topic BUT do you have a piggy introductory video? I just got my older piggie 2 new friends that are fairly young (all males) and my original piggy really seems to be picking on my youngest.
Hey, there are some nibbles on it but I never catch them at it so just the occasional bite! If they were gnawing away at it I'd have to think of something else instead :)
Hi Sarah! So recently I brought 2 female, adorable piggies called Thelma and Louise, and I have been doing all my research taking in a lot of information! But on the night my dad came home he started having watery eyes and a sniffly nose, so the next night my dad came home he started up the same repetitive, sneezing and etc... So I figured out that it may be the guinea pigs that are causing all this commotion so I thought about if I could close the door a little bit mor or open the window a little, but no, how much i tried my best it still didn't work 😫. So it took me about a week to figure out what to do and absolutely HOW HOW HOW much I loved those cute little piggies I had to give away my piggies back to the RSPCA that I got them from! I was weeping my eyes out! I'm giving them away someday next week! I will be really, really, really extremely sad to see them go! 😭😢🙁. I will absolutely miss them! 😫❤️ Thank you so much 😊 for listening to my story Sarah! Please can you pray that they will go to a wonderful and safe home for my piggies! ❤️🤞🏼. And once again... thank you so so much for listening to my story! 🙂. P.S I wish my dad wasn't allergic to guinea pigs because I have been begging my mum for about a year to get them!
Ah, bless you, you have my sympathy x One day in the future hopefully you will be able to own piggies yourself and I’m sure you’ll be a great piggie mum when the time comes! 👍😊
Hello! I’m a New Guinea pig owner and wanted to ask do you think I should get a lid on my cage because I have a brother who has ADHD and is crazy! I don’t know if I should get a lid tho because my dog never goes in my room guinea pigs in there or not. Do you think I should get a lid or just watch him in my room? He is a little calm now but I still don’t know what do you think???
how would a 29 inch cage work for two? i have one right now and plan on getting another furball, just wondering if i need a cage that'll better suit the little guys
I actualy got that green cage that is multi levels. I’m scared he will fall but we got it a few days ago and had the option of the one meant for the piggies. I feel bad now and am to scared to ask if we can return it :(
Only have two just got my new one cause I got one that needed a home it was lonely.On day 3 with the one it complains when my old one gets excited, about well keeping it's new friend too its self.It can hang out with the new buddy we can't.She tries hogging the food but we get up an find them cuddling.There not hurting each other but I think it's her buddy she don't want too share.But she only shares food when we're not looking.She can have hay an her seek eat but only when we're not give her attention.She want that an her buddy too herself.Were thinking of ways to make more space even connecting the old cage to the new one an building a long stand.Figure it'd only a space thing cause they do cuddle.
I can’t ever get a bigger cage then a 1x3 for my 2 Guinea pigs since my mom says “they are happy in there” and makes up excuses to not get them a bigger cage and I’m really sad about it and feel like it’s like animal abuse in some form since they can barely move around and we can’t even put one hidey in the cage😕 my other Guinea pigs have a 2x3 or closer to a 2x4 and we fit 2 hideys in their cage.
I have a guinea pig and I used to have a cat when the guinea pig was a baby and the cat was so calm and the cat even accidentally went in the cage a few times but never even bothered to touch the guinea pig she just sat there
My first pigys were put in a basic cage that were not big enough for two...so many regrets on what we fed them and housed them. We will never make them again. X
I used to have a stacked cage for my guinea pigs because it showed guinea pigs in the pictures so I thought it was a guinea pig cage but I did some research and got them a 2x4 cage
I'm going to get a guinea pig but I don't know what cage to get, can someone give me a suggestion or link to a cage you think would be suitable for a guinea pig?
I have 2 boys and since i’m getting a 120 by 120cm grid cage for them i kinda want to get a third piggie but my mom will probably just look at me then pretend like she didn’t here and walk away as a response 😂😭
I have a cage on the floor, around the same size as yours. They don't even know they are able to jump over it even though they definitely can jump that high 😅😆
Hiii! Thank you so much for this video! I’m actually a new piggy owner. They got gifted to me by a friend. It’s a boy and girl. I’ve been doing research and I’m worried about them. When I received them, they both had a tiny bold spot on their head. I’m not sure if this is normal but if there’s anyone who knows, could you please tell me what to do?
Some can be white crested (or just have a crest on their head). Or there are Abyssinians that have rosettes. So likely not an issue. If the spots on their heads are dry or scabby looking, then I'd find a vet that sees guinea pigs to rule out mites or ringworm. I'd be cautious keeping a male and female together unless the male was neutered (and has been a month I believe) or the female has been spayed.
@@nicoleford3369 Alright thank you so much 🙏🙏 It doesn’t seem to be scabby or dry but I’ll keep a lookout if there’s any change. I’ll try ask my friend about the male is neutered. Thank you again!
I actually started looking for info on cages when i rescued one that was a year old and she seemed too big for her cage. The previous owner told me "she fit good as a baby"
The first cage I got for my Guinea pig had a ramp and platform, our piggie was on the platform and he fell off the platform. He is OK. I did take the ramp and platform out immediately. Those upper platforms don't have that half wall for safety so piggies don't fall off.
Guinea pigs can only jump/climb up 12” so as long as it’s 12” or more they shouldn’t be able to get out (for anyone having runaway guinea pig problems)
7:27 why is that the exact same cage I got.. But the one I got has a little door...... Ima go slap myself for being stupid 🤦♀️🤦♀️🤦♀️🤦♀️🤦♀️🤦♀️🤦♀️
I wish I knew this 3 years ago because I got a guinea pig Named Summer And I got 1 of those cages That are made With a Long bridge Up to the very top roof of the cage And this was a really tall Am I guinea pig Fill Off of it And died Now I have 2 guinea pigs And I give them everything need At time I wish I was A really good guinea pig owner cause I wasn't at the time Cause I don't know Cause my Friend gave it to me And I didn't even know what guinea pigs were 😣 😓😔 Put my guinea pigs now are living Happy lives
I do not agree on that level cages are not okay for piggies. Mine enjoy it a lot. Just make levels not to high and stairs too steep and safe and it will be fine. They have ancestry in the Andes mountains.
Great content Sarah! Though I do feel you left out an 8th mistake: not considering second hand or 'pre loved' cages. Having a look at local classifieds for people who may be selling their old set up for whatever reason can save heaps of money and be a great source of inspiration in seeing just what is possible in the real world that you wouldn't always see in the shop photos. 😀 Hi to the piggies and I hope you all have a great day! 😀
Great point Adrienne!
Yes definitely!!! I was going to order c&c cage grids off Amazon for $40 and I found some at a second hand store for $4!
Just make sure to have an animal appropriate disinfectant... you never know why they are getting rid of that cage. I don't know about communicable guinea pig diseases, but I have birds. I know Birds have a high degree of communicable diseases,so better safe than sorry. I keep a small bottle of F10 veterinary Disinfectant.

Thank you for your help.
Aghhhh earlyyyy so exited for dis vid ❤️
Sarah, I Like your videos and love your pigs. Sending you greetings from Prague :-)
Ima get a genie pig so ty for telling us what we need or not!!♡♡
We do have jumpers, both of our piggies have made a flying leap from the open enclosure through the cage opening while the ramp/door was off!

YAY NEW VIDEO :))
Mine cage is from the long bit 3 foot 9 and the shorts side is 2 foot 2 is that good for two guinea pig?
The thing is here in Scotland our rooms are very small and can only get a cage that fits, the cage is always open so that they can come out anytime they want though
Very good video, very informative
I really liked the part where you said about getting 2...3....5....more...how did this happen?! LOL
If you have as many as you can manage and can provide everything properly like space, time with them etc then thats all good 👍

I have a 2 by 5 c and c cage for my two boys connoli and brownie!!It even has a little upstairs!!!
I have a lid on my piggys cage and will ALWAYS have a kid on my piggys cage! I have a cat so I lid is a MUST for me
I'm hoping to get one that's 2x3 grids cause I'm not looking to get more than 2 piggys
I think too many people get lured into the cheap cages too because pet stores do bundles. It's easier for them to grab the bundle than to get them together. You are not actually saving anything other than a little bit of time.
Edit: Forgot to say - Great video, once again!
I work at a pet store and I don't even recommend any cage we carry currently because they're too expensive and not at all suitable! I tell them it's much easier and more fun to build your own! Not to mention LEAGUES cheaper

Hi! I have a question: I know that guinea pigs can chew plastic, do they ever chew your hay bin?
Hey, there are some nibbles on it but I never catch them at it so just the occasional bite! If they were gnawing away at it I'd have to think of something else instead :)
@@SqueakDreams Thank you so much!

I am expanding, getting the ferplast 120 triple instead of the double. Any easy ideas to make the ramps safer other than elevating them?
how would a 29 inch cage work for two? i have one right now and plan on getting another furball, just wondering if i need a cage that'll better suit the little guys
Something closer to 56 inches would be the preferred minimum for two :)

Yep All the hideouts on Walmart online are smaller then my piggy even though they are marketed for piggys
My new kitten loves to jump into the guinea house, but she's not even remotely predatory towards the pigs. She just lays down in the shavings.
is it worth it getting a loft cage?
I can’t ever get a bigger cage then a 1x3 for my 2 Guinea pigs since my mom says “they are happy in there” and makes up excuses to not get them a bigger cage and I’m really sad about it and feel like it’s like animal abuse in some form since they can barely move around and we can’t even put one hidey in the cage😕 my other Guinea pigs have a 2x3 or closer to a 2x4 and we fit 2 hideys in their cage.
I was curious, do you know if 3D printed objects are safe for Guinea Pigs?
Hi sqeak dreams it's Rebecca Napier I'd like to know how old are your guina pigs and what cage liner you use loving ❤your videos
Hi Rebecca and my piggies are 6.5 years (Lyra), 1 year (Roxy and Phoebe) and unknown (Pedro) 😊
I have a guinea pig and I used to have a cat when the guinea pig was a baby and the cat was so calm and the cat even accidentally went in the cage a few times but never even bothered to touch the guinea pig she just sat there

Our Guinea pig Wispa is a big climber
I'm going to get a guinea pig but I don't know what cage to get, can someone give me a suggestion or link to a cage you think would be suitable for a guinea pig?
Get a C and C cage, and you can make a 2 by 3 or a 2 by 4 cage.
Guinea pigs are SO addictive, started with a pair and two years later i have 6 🤦♀️ haha
i have 11 boys lol
I have 2 boys and since i’m getting a 120 by 120cm grid cage for them i kinda want to get a third piggie but my mom will probably just look at me then pretend like she didn’t here and walk away as a response 😂😭
I started out the same way and within a year I now have 6 too!
❤❤❤
I have a cage on the floor, around the same size as yours. They don't even know they are able to jump over it even though they definitely can jump that high 😅😆
My two piggies have the time of their lives in their 6x2 C & C cage! XD
Awh I bet they do 😍
Hiii! Thank you so much for this video! I’m actually a new piggy owner. They got gifted to me by a friend. It’s a boy and girl. I’ve been doing research and I’m worried about them. When I received them, they both had a tiny bold spot on their head. I’m not sure if this is normal but if there’s anyone who knows, could you please tell me what to do?
Some can be white crested (or just have a crest on their head). Or there are Abyssinians that have rosettes. So likely not an issue. If the spots on their heads are dry or scabby looking, then I'd find a vet that sees guinea pigs to rule out mites or ringworm. I'd be cautious keeping a male and female together unless the male was neutered (and has been a month I believe) or the female has been spayed.
@@nicoleford3369 Alright thank you so much 🙏🙏 It doesn’t seem to be scabby or dry but I’ll keep a lookout if there’s any change. I’ll try ask my friend about the male is neutered. Thank you again!
im rlly sad i wish i got a lid bc my dog got in and you know what happens next
I actually started looking for info on cages when i rescued one that was a year old and she seemed too big for her cage. The previous owner told me "she fit good as a baby"
👏👏👏
is god 60x60 for 3 guinea pigs
Piggies become chilled in the environment...I never used a lid once they were used to it...they chilled out even when I was out of the house.
How do you tell if your piggies is a boy or a girl? How do you keep boys & girls together bur don't seem to have babies born?
The first cage I got for my Guinea pig had a ramp and platform, our piggie was on the platform and he fell off the platform. He is OK. I did take the ramp and platform out immediately. Those upper platforms don't have that half wall for safety so piggies don't fall off.
My guinea pig (little my)
Decides that instead of going down the ramp she just jumps off the top😂
The ramp is only half a grid high so it’s not high
yass qween
My guinea pigs love to escape😂 Rather than adding a lid on, I recommend making the walls higher so they can’t reach out
Guinea pigs can only jump/climb up 12” so as long as it’s 12” or more they shouldn’t be able to get out (for anyone having runaway guinea pig problems)
7:27 why is that the exact same cage I got.. But the one I got has a little door...... Ima go slap myself for being stupid 🤦♀️🤦♀️🤦♀️🤦♀️🤦♀️🤦♀️🤦♀️
I wish I knew this 3 years ago because I got a guinea pig Named Summer And I got 1 of those cages That are made With a Long bridge Up to the very top roof of the cage And this was a really tall Am I guinea pig Fill Off of it And died Now I have 2 guinea pigs And I give them everything need At time I wish I was A really good guinea pig owner cause I wasn't at the time Cause I don't know Cause my Friend gave it to me And I didn't even know what guinea pigs were 😣 😓😔 Put my guinea pigs now are living Happy lives
My guinea pig likes jumping on my shoulder but never even tries to escape his cage
I do not agree on that level cages are not okay for piggies. Mine enjoy it a lot. Just make levels not to high and stairs too steep and safe and it will be fine. They have ancestry in the Andes mountains.
I started with 4 and now have 9 lol
First ! ❤️
1:07 fuck i have the same cage
early!! :)

It's pretty rude to browse in person then buy online! If nobody buys in bricks-and-mortar shops, then these will vanish.
