So my guinea pigs are currently living in a rabbit cage with about a cube sized shelf. I know with guinea pigs it is all about the floor space they have nothing to do with hight, but this is the best I can do. This is just my idea of what I want to do. I am going to put down flooring on top of the rabbit cage and have a ramp going through the opening at the top. I want them to have more of a space to run around, and at the bottom of the cage the ramp is in the way. What do you think of the idea?

GP's don't really like height very much so I doubt they would use it. They really need an absolute minimum of 4ft x2ft floor space so could you not attach it to the cage on floor level?

sorry but its not really the best option, it will still be very small, the ramps will use a lot of space, and doesnt allow any real open plan space to popcorn in

I'm sorry but I have to agree with the others, that isn't great at all especially if your pigs won't use the ramp (my boys hate ramps with a passion)
The bare minimum for 2 piggies is 4ft x 2ft

I know 2x4 is the bare minimum, but this is the best I have right now. In September they will be in a 2x4 cage, but the house I am in right now there is just not quite enough room.

you asked for opinions, we gave you opinions, you have quite a lot of extra space to the side of the cage, can you not make a C&C cage and make use of that extra space?

Just so you all know my OH and I have decided to build an attachment to the bottom of their cage. It is not 2x4 but will be very close to it. Pretty much the only thing I can show you right now is my plans on grid paper because we are getting the supplies when he is done work. If you want to see them I will upload them but I hope this will make you all happier.

I'm glad you are making their cage bigger, but to be fair it isn't us that need to be made happy, we all just care that the piggies are

Wen haven't figured out the ramp system yet, but the plan is to have ramps down to underneath the table thing so they will have that entire space to run around and be happy. I will probably just have toys under there and their food and bed. If I do this I will probably take the second level in the cage out so they will have more room in the main cage. If you have any idea's as to what we could do with the ramps let me know. And you all are much more experienced with piggies so I hope this will meet your approval.
