How to Set up the Perfect Guinea Pig Cage!

[@DragonSisters123]

Wow! Is Roxy secretly training for the piggie Olympics????? She’s good!😂

[@oliviastreich1374]

I’m so happy I found your channel before getting piggies. We started with going to get a Midwest and then saw these videos and got a 5x2 Kavee for her that is giant and will be amazing for two piggies

[@crystaldavis6494]

Wow! Roxie had a pretty impressive vertical leap! So nice to see you and the girls again. This is my favorite place on You Tube.❤😊

[@SqueakDreams]

Thank you and yes, I think the consensus is she's in training for the olympics 😂

[@zsianz1]

Your videos are the best. I built a diy cage based on yours and then made all the fleece items following your patterns and instructions. Then I took in 3 unwanted piggies and they are very happy and becoming more and more tame by the day 😊

Awww! Adorable video as usual! You’ve really have inspired me through my guinea pig journey, Sarah! ❤️ Thanks so much. I’ve gone from a TINY 1.5x2.5 petstore cage, paper bedding, small hay rack, bad quality hay, and gross pellets to a 5x2 C&C cage, fleece liners, large hay bin, good quality hay, 2 hideys and a bridge, a tunnel, toys, and much better pellets!!! You’ve inspired me

are u having fun w/ them?

[@dailyhpeditsandanimals]

I have been looking at neville's nest nearly evrey day admiring the adorable piggies

[@clairecooks5257]

Omg just wanted to go to sleep but felt a little sad, but then I got a notification from my favourite channel- you and your cute piggies! Missed their squeaks and funny comments😄

[@guineapigsue7785]

Wow Roxi was very athletic there towards the end, never knew she had it in her 😂

[@deneentorkelson5705]

If there is ever a Olympic Piggie High Jump, Roxy is my bet😂

[@SqueakDreams]

Haha yes she can move! Especially when food is involved 😁😉

[@susyclau7433]

Exactly what I was going to comment, straight to the Olympics 😂

[@sharonagresta-siekerman8601]

Adding my comment about Roxy's "hurdle" skills. Not only did she clear the side but she missed Callie hiding in the hay next to the hay pan wall!!! That's some serious "sproing" going on!!!

[@Stormsteed]

@@SqueakDreamsI think I read somewhere that the record high jump for a guinea pig is 22cm. I think you might have a contender for that at 8:58 😃🥂🎉👏

[@cindyterruso9698]

Ty for all your education. Even though my boy is gone now, I still love watching. Great for learning for all. I’m too old now to get another. They really cheer you along with my dogs. I totally enjoy your videos and happy you can help others. Love your babies. ❤

[@itscarrotsncashews3481]

I love this, your tips have helped so much. We rescued 2 boys a few weeks back and I’ve binge watched all your videos 😆 they have an amazing c&c cage, a hay box and they are obsessed with the snuggle sacks I made them from your sewing patterns! Thank you 🙏🏻

[@SqueakDreams]

That's so lovely to hear! Congrats on becoming a piggie owner and adopting too 💚😃

[@Solomon0424]

Im trying to make a new cage for my chinchilla! So thanks for the cage ideas.

[@tukta1979]

I love your Guinea pigs.They look so cute!!!

[@2Guineapigsand1dog]

I love your videos. I have two girl guinea pigs. Before i got them, I was watching your videos to get research and make sure i could take care of them and give them a happy and healthy and your videos helped me so much. I got everything a guinea could need. their living in a c & c cage and its a 5 by 3. they have tunnels and hides and lots of hay and chew toys. and still plenty of room to run around and popcorn. Your videos helped me so much. thank you for all the tips.😊💓

[@WarriorofChrist87]

I find these videos very calming

[@Saradomian]

I just got guinea pigs and haven't seen or heard them touch the water bottle, i just filled up a spare food dish with water! It's also more natural. I Brought a "Pets at home cage" for 2 guinea pigs, but i brought the biggest £50 one they had. the massive ferplast one. At sometime, when i got all stuff i need! Like loads foods, hay, fleece bedding, and more! I got them from the "adoption part, they were part of animal rescue" :) I had to donate a minimum of £20 per a guinea pig!

[@Declan1231]

Hi I love your videos I have my own Guinea pig sadly her sister died a few months ago but I love your Guinea pigs keep up the amazing vids

[@SqueakDreams]

Thank you so much and I'm sorry for your loss 💖

[@zoes32flavaz]

Wow! That jump!

[@El.and.piggies.]

At the moment i have my 2 piggies in a petstore cage but im looking into getting a c&c cage this video was really helpful❤️❤️

[@karynnekrasowski3525]

You are my favorite KZbinr. I've watched all of your videos! i have to piggies and they are getting very tame with all of your tips! Thank you so much!

[@rosannw9357]

Was so happy to see the new video! Really enjoyed seeing the piggies and hearing about cage setups. So nice to see Cali "all grown up" now.

[@Guineapig7]

I loved Roxy’s little jump 🥺❤️🤣

[@BeatriseKrokforda]

Was about to go to bed, but saw a notification from my favorite youtuber!🎉🎉 The cage is one of the most important things you will get for your piggies. I would get a c&c cage with fleece. So happy you and the piggies are back after 2 weeks! Say hello to the piggies from me,❤ ~Beatrise

[@SqueakDreams]

Hi Beatrice! Thank you for your support! 😃❤️

[@ΜαρίαΤσαμπίκαΚανάκη]

[@susanlee7530]

Love this video with all the helpful information. You always do a wonderful job. My piggies and I thank you for providing such educational videos and already looking forward to your next one.

[@audreyrobles1505]

I appreciate your tips so much! I started buying meadow hay for the litter tray, and using the Timothy hay as a topper treat on the side. They love it, and it saves us about $50 a month!

[@DulceBoris-c5k]

Your piggies are so cute!❤

[@GuineaPiggysChannel]

Great video as always. Excellent tip on the hideys. Mine aren't shy but can tend to be a bit lazy at times so will definitely try to switch it up a bit.

[@alexdavila14]

Ty for the tips I've been looking to your videos and researching as I'm looking to buy guinea pigs

[@annmyers7888]

I love your videos so much! You are my favorite piggy channel! I'd love for you to do a video where you review your subscribers cages!

Thank you for making these videos! I’m not getting my Guinea pigs till early next year but I’m super excited 😅 You are really helping me getting prepared and giving me lots of ideas for a cage setup (I’m going with C&C) I hope you keep making these amazing videos! ❤ -your biggest 11 year old fan 🎉

[@sharonagresta-siekerman8601]

im reading that lots of piggies love The Pig Rooms bunk beds & mat liners. Hope the girls get to give one a try sometime

[@princesskristan]

This was so helpful, but the piggy footage made me smile so much my cheeks hurt

[@coolperson9470]

me and my family (im 14) are inquiring to adopting to adopt 2 guinea pigs (that will be my responsibility excluding finanial costs) and even thuogh ive been researching for litteral months and asked thm in the first place im a tad stressed about finding everything and bonding with them and what if they will hate me even though i am an animal whisperper like my pet shrimp will come to glass for food (although my hamster hates me but thats because even though i love him he is mainly awake when im asleep). anyways back to the main point, that even though ive been stressed youe videos and their exited deminer have really eased my nerves :)

[@BookloverFantasy92]

Have you started your new cage yet? I’m anxiously waiting to see what you do for ideas for our cage (we’re currently in a 8x2 c&c cage with basic square grids) that we want to upgrade. The corflute needs to be replaced, so thinking about possibly doing either a wood cage a bit like yours but bigger for our 5 piggies, or getting some new baby grids around the sides and clear grids for the front on a smaller stand. We don’t have babies right now, but if we were to ever get babies in the future, I don’t want to have to worry about baby proofing.😊

[@CassarndraDennis]

so amazing and helpful! keep up the great work!

[@sarahcrompton4310]

love it it has made me think to use fleece istead of wood shaving gunieas are so cute and tamed

[@jenniferhwaddington]

Great ideas! With three girls and a large custom made enclosure, I have a hard time "decorating" their cage, but you gave some great ideas! Thank you!

Some great tips Sarah, thank you 😊 x

[@ChantalPhillips89]

Hey! Love your videos :) I have skinny pigs and I wonder if I should create a hay bucket like yours along with a hay rack inside of a litter area. I’m not sure if they would like to sit in the hay or if it would poke their skin?

This was really useful, thank you!!

Hi Sarah love your videos and the tips you give so many ideas I have the Midwest plus cage my 2 boys love as they a hay room where they get the lunnon dust free hay and haybox meadow hay I all so buy they Timothy blend hay too I all so have pet rabbit who loves the Timothy hay so a big thank you for recommending haybox hope you and your 3 loving girls are well xx thank you

[@BethanyBrooke1027]

I love your videos! So much to learn! I built a 3x4 c and c cage for my future 2 Guinea pigs. Is that large enough? I would love your opinion 😊

[@yes4956]

Yes that's big enough

[@reservedsillygoose]

This was an amazing video! I need some help for what to feed them, like a schedule, but it's very hard to find! So if you could make a video for food it would help!

[@SqueakDreams]

I will do 😄💚

[@rainbowskittles1983]

I love your piggies set up. How big is their cage? Measurements?

[@agreen8593]

It's great to see you and the herd! I loved all your tips. Did you mean to reference Cali as well as the hideout at 5:48?

[@SqueakDreams]

Haha I didn't understand your comment at first but yes "this one" was also from Neville's Nest 😍

[@Geauxlsutigers617]

Love this video keep up the great work I have a question. What is the best dimensions for a cage?

[@SqueakDreams]

The bigger the better! Recommend size for two piggies is at least 10.5 square feet 😊

[@Geauxlsutigers617]

@@SqueakDreams what about for one piggy?

[@beverlyhaddock6323]

I appreciate the video. I have two unexpected foster piggies (my first Guinea pigs) and have been a bit confused. Are mine the only ones who pee and poop literally everywhere and the lounge on it? I put puppy pads down but they also pee on their blankies and fabrics. I feel like I should be washing everything daily just to keep it clean. I got some carpet remnant for them but am not sure if I should put it down since they’ll just pee on it and washing the carpet would be more difficult. I want to take good care of my fosters but feel like I’m failing.

[@LawlaLeyshon]

Been watching your videos for lots of ideas for my new piggies! It has been so helpful, so thank you! I was wondering if you knew of a good alternative for pea flakes? My one piggie loves them, but my other one turns their nose up at them! LOL! I don't want one piggie to get pea flakes, and the other not to have something, so what can I try with them that is of a similar kind of "treat"? Thank you so much!

[@Lorna.Bowman]

Hi, I'm getting ready to get my own guinea pigs and would love the same ones you have. Could you tell me what type each one is, please 🙏 😊

[@Marble_claws]

This helped so thank you!

[@mortenrefshj2058]

Great videos! I hope you can help me with a question. Is it possible to have guinea pigs on a wired-bottom, covered with fleece, in an elevated cage outside? So that the pee will go through the fleece and down to the ground, and the fleece protecting against bumblefoot? Or will there be too much draft through the fleece? Or will the fleece not wick away pee, without an absorpant layer? Just thinking of ways to make the guinea pig cage last longer between fleece washes :) Hope you can enlighten me, cheers!

[@Madisonstraub]

Hi I’m interested in getting two male guinea pigs will you please give me a step by step on how you made your cage by the way I love your videos

[@muffins2996]

I have never been this early

[@christymiller1845]

How do you clean the fleece? I can never shake off all of the hay and I don't want it clogging my washing machine. Thanks!

[@tammymarie3557]

Where did you get the plastic thing you have ur hay in? I've been looking for something like that thought maybe I would try that instead of how they have it now just laying on the ground

[@GatoEncanto]

I have a question, I just got a nice bedding pad, but it isn’t made of fleece, so I don’t know if it will be absorbent. It is made of fabric though. Do you think it will be ok?

[@diamondbeach9322]

hi, just wondering but where did you get the plexiglass from because im making a new guinea pig cage for 3 guinea pigs?

[@darlenehutson3178]

What is your cage made out of? I love how easy it seems to clean.

I’m thinking of getting a Guinea pig. Are they hard work? I CANT Tell because some ppl say it’s easy some ppl say it’s not! A reply would be great thanks 👍

[@aplaceudontknow]

I still have one question: Is it ok to hold guinea pigs in one whole room (the floor is with fleece and some space is left with the normal floor)

[@wafflebunnyrandom645]

Do you know if a 4x2 c and c cage with and extra 2x2 attached is big enough for 3 guinea pig?

[@SqueakDreams]

Yes that is good for three guinea pigs but the space should be on one continuous flat level.

[@marydewar5675]

Or wood from foraging in forests etc.

Hi Sarah I really want a C&C cage but I can't buy it online Is there somewhere else I can get it for the piggies also my parents won't let me keep them inside but when it's the school holidays by the way I'm Alison I am using my dad's name I'm the one that actually watches your videos anyway when it's the holidays were going on holiday and the guinea pigs are coming in their cage for the garage ( because their only allowed outside) and it has everything you said they like fleece and big piles of hay so I hope they realise it won't smell.🐹

I don’t want to be like a dream crusher but I wouldn’t recommend letting them free time I know from letting them have some floor time in my bathroom they will find ANYTHING to chew on nothing is safe and that’s not good with wires on another note Guinea pigs like space but not huge rooms and I would recommend having a just perfect cage anyway sorry for this paragraph but I hope Thai helps😊
