      ​@@Joseph-li5ozthe towels work as an absorbent layer underneath the fleece to help soak up the pee. So you lay a towel down and than the comfy blanket on top. No need to throw out, simply pop it in the wash when u do full cage cleans!

They have 3 chews, which I switch out weekly. That okay? They have a food/hay dispenser, and two water bottles. They also have a litter pan. I use fleece, and spot clean everyday and full clean once a week. That good? I hold them nightly, for about 30 minutes, and give them floor time every so often. They have hay 24/7 and feed twoce a day, 1/5 a cup per time. I would also like tips on how to keep my room smelling better, so any tips?

    Guinea pigs are supposed to drink water from a water bottle. But you'd have to teach them. Most guinea pigs already know how to use it if they used it at the shelter, adoption center or store you got them from. But if you're piggies are fine with a water bowl than that's fine. The only thing is that the water will get dirty with dust and hay falling into it. Maybe your guinea pigs were drinking out of a bowl at the place you got them from and that's why they know how to use a water bowl.

    I have two guinea pigs & I was wondering how to potty train them? They tend to poo and pee everywhere, making it difficult to kept their cage clean. Any tips would be very helpful!

      Get a litter tray and fill it with hay, they will sit in the tray and poo at the same time. They will tend to poo as the wee😁

      Another good tip is too put all their poos into the spot you want them to go.That way they smell their scent there and also don’t change the one spot out for a week.Hope this helps!

    Be careful with puppy pee pads. I was going ok using them for awhile, then i got a new piggie that somehow got underneath the fleece and started eating the pee pads. She got an impaction of her stomach and passed away.
