Whee guinea pigs got upgraded from our previous cage setup this week, and have been enjoying exploring our new home. Yes, it's true: the bigger your piggy's cage, the healthier and happier he/she will be! We agree that it is now mansion sized, but we are still waiting on a more palatial upgrade. Can you spot us in the pigture above?
Currently we have a 3x7 C&C grid ground floor with a 2x3 grid loft upstairs. It is about 32 square feet downstairs plus 9 square feet upstairs, which is roughly the size of the average New Yorker's apartment. Or so our humans tell us. Those New Yorkers must give a lot of space to their pigs.
This gives us lots of room to eat, sleep, play, run laps and stretch out our piggy feet! Incidentally, it also gives the humans more area to vacuum during their nightly spot cleaning.
