WANTED HOUSE ...
(The cage and accessories of our guinea pig)
If you have a guinea pig alone, you can buy a cage of at least 70x90 cm, if you have more of the cage will be greater. May not have the background or mesh network, because it harms the legs. Must have a uniform background and sprinkle with the litter, which must have a good absorption and should neutralize the ammonia. Must be free of dust (NO CAT LITTER X) must be made of natural material and should not be made from cedar or pine essential oils because they contain potentially toxic to the animal. Excellent bedding such as sand are specific to rodents, the corncob, sawdust or pelleted.
Like all rodents, guinea pigs also need a shelter, then you have to put in the cage a little house, it is best to put it in the middle because the guinea pig loves to run around.
course, do not forget to supply a small bowl for pellets, a drinkable spiked, a manger for hay and games, such as tubes or large cardboard boxes with multiple openings.
The cage should be placed in an environment sheltered from the currents of air and moisture but must still be bright. The optimum temperature is between 18 and 24 degrees. If the temperature falls below 18 ° increased the hay inside the cage, so that it insulates. Do not leave the cage on the balcony when it's hot, because these animals are subject to heat stroke.
For cleaning, you can use a common disinfectant, which must be thoroughly rinsed or a solution of water and vinegar, very useful to remove all the sediment content in the urine of guinea pigs.
