Guinea pigs are practically the most unpretentious animals in everyday life. They are quite clean and also nice and friendly to talk to. Some guinea pig owners believe that animals are able to recognize their nickname, as well as follow simple commands. In addition, these pets are a real find for families with children. Guinea pigs are not vindictive and take part in games with pleasure. In order for your pet to feel at home, you need to make this house for him. Guinea pigs really need their own corner, especially since an animal walking around an apartment unattended can do a lot of harm: gnaw through wires, ruin furniture or wallpaper. How do you choose the right cage and interior to please your pet?
Instructions
Step 1
The guinea pig cage must be large enough. Try to keep it larger than 40x60, in this case the animal will feel quite comfortable. Be sure to pay attention to the pallet. It can be made of plastic, wood, or other materials. The most important thing is that its height reaches 12 cm. Remember that guinea pigs are very afraid of drafts, and you will have to constantly collect sawdust flying from the cage much less often.
Step 2
Another mandatory part of the interior of a guinea pig cage should be a drinking bowl. Better if it is hanging, the pig can turn the bowl of water over and wet the bedding. Reinforce the drinker so that the pet does not have to stretch its neck too much.
Step 3
Food bowls are also best secured. So the food will always be in them, and not on the bedding or in the pallet. It is better to purchase ceramic bowls, they are heavy enough, so the animal will not be able to turn them over.
Step 4
It is advisable to make a special sennik in the cage so that your pet can enjoy fragrant hay at any time.
Step 5
Next, you can place various toys or mazes for pigs in the cage. Some owners believe that guinea pigs also need a special house. However, there is an opinion that animals that have their own home become more fearful and withdrawn, as they can hide in it at any time.
