Fingers crossed for me! If I have no joy with these, I will look at shelters. Would be so good though cos they are practically around the corner, just hope they get back to me soon!

Can't find the Nero 4 thing, would this do for babies? How big would they be? (assuming they are 8 weeks).

No that ones far too small really. It's only just big enough for one baby guinea pig and you would have to buy another cage when it was an adult.

You need something about this size for two piggies. http://www.petsathome.com/find/categ...oduct-is-23808

I agree with Jazzy. That's a much better size.

Re: Want a guinea pig
Ah thanks! Just thought I would mention, I have been in touch with a lady selling a cage and it is 80cm long, she said it would be ok for 2 pigs or 1 rabbit, would that be ok or should I still go for the one you just posted? There are no accessories though. It is only 6 months old and £25!

Going to see my pigs tonight, I am nervous! They have just put on the ad that they are provisionally reserved!

Re: Want a guinea pig
No a cage that is 80cm long isn't big enough for two guinea pigs, not really big enough for one adult one to be honest. My hamster is in a cage that is nearly 80cm long. Have a look on Zooplus, they were selling very large cages quite cheap a few months ago. Not sure how long they take for delivery though.

Re: Want a guinea pig
That is a shame. I better get the P@H one then and lie to my bf about how much it is!

Edit: I have a large pen (kindly donated by my pooch ) so they will get plenty of grass and exercise, weather permitting, how many times and for how long should they be in there?

Found this, someone said on a review that the bars are too far apart from young pigs, what do you think? The price is amazing!

That's fine. You can always pop in something for them to use as a hiding place plus a Chube or two. No, 29mm bar spacing is not too wide. Baby pigs wouldn't even be able to reach up to the bars until they had grown a bit more anyway and 8 week old cavies would be too well grown to get through.

Re: Want a guinea pig
Sorry to hear about the loss of your Guinea when I had mine outdoors I used to put a piece of netting (nets on the window.. lol) over the cage opening, it stopped flys getting in, but still let air through etc.

He ended up coming into the living room though and never went back into his outdoor hutch I've had 5 Guineas since then and they've all lived indoors!

My current Guinea cost me £25, so I'd say that £19 compared to that was cheap lol. He was worth it though

Good look with your new ones! Can't wait to see pictures
