Frequently Asked Questions
What is the minimum cage size for two guinea pigs?
Two guinea pigs need a minimum of 10.5 square feet (approximately 30 x 50 inches). This is the size of a 2x4 C&C cage. Bigger is always better as guinea pigs are active and need room to run and play.
What is a C&C cage?
C&C stands for Cubes and Coroplast. These cages are built using wire storage cube grids (14x14 inch panels) for walls and a corrugated plastic (Coroplast) base. They are popular because they are affordable, customizable, and provide much more space than most store-bought cages.
Should guinea pigs live alone or in pairs?
Guinea pigs are social herd animals and should ideally be kept in same-sex pairs or groups. In some places (like Switzerland), it is illegal to keep a single guinea pig. A companion of the same species is essential for their mental well-being.
