Guinea Pig Care
Guinea pigs make great pets because they're low maintenance, gentle, and great with kids!
Remember these tips to keep your guinea pig happy and healthy.
- Space - guinea pigs need space to exercise, explore, and socialize.
- Grooming - Long-haired guinea pigs should be brushed daily to avoid mats and knots.
- Food - Pellets and timothy hay should make up the majority of their diet, but they also need plenty of Vitamin C. Offer plenty of oranges and kale.
- Hideaways - Make sure your guinea pig has a place to hide. This can reduce stress and provide him with a safe and quiet place to rest.

In my area, it would cost the same to build a C&C cage, which I plan to eventually do. However, this cage was an excellent option for the time being and allowed me to have a nice cage very quickly for my two rescues. In my opinion, if you don't want to bother with building a C&C, or the materials are hard to find or too expensive in your area, this is a really great option. It will meet your needs, and you can add on to it in the future if you want to. I wouldn't pay the $80 they are charging at the pet store, though!
One more note to add: I've seen some reviewers complaining about waste getting stuck in the bars. You can avoid this by simply attaching the vinyl liner inside of the bars, like in my picture.

Good points:
- Assembly was easy
- Provides more room than other store-bought cages, at a cheaper price
- Top-access allows easy cleaning of entire cage
- Side panels of bottom contain most of the mess
- Can attach multiple units together to make a larger cage area
Bad points:
- Bottom is soft (not hard / stable) so it needs to be placed on a hard, solid surface (floor, table, etc.)
- The wire is not super heavy duty, so I'm not sure how well it would hold up to an assault by, say, a dog or cat that tried to sit on top of it, etc.. It is plenty stable to contain GPs, but if you want to leave it out in a room with very rambunctious animals / young kids, you might want a heavier metal cage (like a C&C grid cage with a top).
Setup things to consider:
- I don't use the "dining area" divider. I use a litter box under their hay rack instead. The divider breaks up their running room too much...and boy, do they run... The divider may add a little stability to the cage, but it still works without it.
- You should still put something over the ENTIRE floor of the cage. I use a layer of heavy plastic, with an absorbent layer over that (u-haul blanket), then fleece fabric on top. This allows me to sweep up poo / hay daily, then change out the bedding weekly (and wash). This also protects the bottom. I will pull everything out and then spray a cleaning agent on any spots on the bottom of the cage and it cleans up well. I have had no issues with fluids leaking through the bottom.. But it would be a PAIN to clean without any bedding over it (the GPs will go everywhere, even if their food is in one area, so you have to use bedding of some kind in the whole cage.
- Although setup was easy, I don't think the cage would be easy to setup / breakdown multiple times. I haven't had to break it down since setting it up, so I can speak to this.
- The bottom sides go up about 4" on my cage. This helps keep some debris in the cage. The GPs run though, so kick stuff (litter, poo, food, etc.) out of their cage frequently. To help keep their dining area neater, I clipped some fabric around that end of the cage over the wire sides (outside cage) this seems to work pretty well, but vacuuming around the cage area still has to be done frequently.
Overall, I would buy this cage again.... And I may buy one pretty soon to attach to my current one (got a third GP recently) to give them more room. It is well made and does what it is designed to do. I think it is the best option other than building your own cage.
- I'd advise buying this one (the plus model) that includes the top... You might end up needing the top even if you think you don't and buying it by itself is very expensive.

Article de bonne qualité et pratique sauf pour le nettoyage mais ce n'est pas insurmontable !! Il suffit de prendre son temps.
Mes 2 cochons d'inde se sont bien appropriés leur nouvelle cage et ont un espace de vie confortable.
As other reviewers said, the canvas itself is an issue as the piggies have started staining them and chewing off them although i usually had a fleece and pee pads. Especially worse so on the ramp sides, likely one day the canvas on the ramp may be entirely eaten up by them lol.
Aside, liked that it is open top, spacious and generally easy to build and maintain. Material seems to be durable as well. Hopefully it does not rust as easy. A little tad expensive though compared to other diy c&c cages.
There is another amazon review on here that someone mentions the cage is flimsy. That is NOT the case. The cage basically comes assembled already, you just have to attach one corner and then put the lining on the bottom which is done with velcro straps on edges. And then the lid onto the top. There are metal clips to keep the top on.)
My blankets on top are only there as nights have been cold. It comes off during the day time. I recommend this cage highly. You can also purchase a replacement liner (green part) separate But i don't think i will have to in a long time.
My first pic I is the whole cage, the second pic is the clips that go all the way around the top, the third pic is the Velcro straps that the green liner is attached to the cage with, and the Fourth pic is the opening of which you can expand your cage or you can open it if you let your piggies run freely.
