If you are the owner of cage 2 (or owners of, smaller or similar cages) cnc grids are super cheap, and probably a ton cheaper than those cages. Also there are tons of diys for toys and diy hides.
i think this cage reaction series is a fantastic idea. Not only have you helped your own pigs live their best life but you are also changing the lives of other peoples pigs. These piggie owners are really brave sending pics of their enclosures, and it shows they want the best for their pigs. I might send my own 4 enclosures in. I have 3 pairs of boys and a trio of 2 girls and neutered boy.
@@irlyirish7134 It hard work lol.. they all have 6x3 grid cages so it a lot of fleece to wash and hoover. I also have 7 rabbits, 4 of which free roam upstairs/downstairs and a trio in aviary and shed. Plus a blind disabled Labrador and a cat lol.. They take up my full day but i wouldnt change it for the worl
You can tell what size the grid is by counting the number of squares per grid. 14 inch safe grids have 9. 14 inch unsafe have 8 or less. 11 to 12 inch grids have 7 squares. Just a tip!
my cage has been updated since I sent you an email so if you happen to read this my pigs are luna and popcorn and I added a loft to their cage the loft is a 2x2 :)
aww yay I’m so glad you posted another one of these since I love them so much! 🤍 so many of the cages looked so cool, and definitely gave me some inspiration that can be applied for rabbits! will you be doing a bunny one soon? I would really want to enter mine haha.
I’m not sure why so many parents think it’s okay to get Guinea pigs for their children but not continue to provide for the Guinea pigs properly, shouldn’t be down to the kids, so many people see them as starter pets, very frustrating x
Agreed: the majority of my emails are from children and it’s frustrating because I know many of them are not in a position to improve their care because of their parents. I dislike that parents get kids pets then won’t allow their kids or help them to have proper care
I know this was month's ago but as someone who is a teenager who owns 5 guinea pigs and also owned guinea pigs since I was younger, I agree. I'm 15 year old and own 5 piggies, I'm lucky enough to have parents that did research and proper cage sizes. They help me buy things and vet bills, as well I also help buy things such as accessories and if i want to upgrade the cages I have. I recently upgraded my pair of males cage from 2x6 to a 3x8 and planning on upgrading their cage soon and maybe add a loft. As much work i do everyday for them I don't think they are made for children/teens who don't have parents to help them and do research. Because i know no child is gonna pay for expensive vet bills that are like $300+. They are expensive animals and need so much care
I love your videos and guinea pigs. This video gave me a lot of great ideas for a future guinea pig cage. I was wondering if you would be interested in posting a video of what to have in your cage/how to set up a cage, and your favorite guinea pig products. Thank you so much for being an amazing guinea pig owner! I wish you and all of your guinea pigs the best!
Hi! thank you so much for reaction!🤍my cage was number 6. Now i’m not able to do one floor big cage. I don’t have the hay rack now. 30cm and 50 cm are dimensions of height of each floor😉
Do you have any recommendations for allergies and Guinea pigs? I recently adopted 2 sows. And I have them in a 4X2 in my bedroom. I’m looking into getting an air purifier soon but is there any other advice that you have that can help with allergies? I really don’t want to rehome my pigs
@@Eliza.happe1 I switched mine to it they should like it I’ve never come across any that don’t like orchard grass hay. The air purifier will help as well. Don’t feed them alfalfa unless recommended by a vet
I was just wondering if maybe you could make a video/include in one of your videos on how to make a hay box? Maybe include different options and suggestions for bedding. I’ve heard of pee pads at the bottom, using paper bedding, actually using pellets and other types of things. Maybe you could talk about like how your litter/hay box is set up or things you’ve tried in the past. Also how to not waste as much hay and things you Guinea pigs seem to like, and why it’s so beneficial. I’m having trouble on the best way to use a hay box. Just a suggestion, I feel like it would be very helpful 😁. Anyways, thank you lol
ooh i loved this video! i have one guinea pig, since the other one passed last week but me and my sis are trying to get a nice setup for her. this video had many options and ideas. also, your editing is to DIE FOR! what app do you use?
I would say anything over a 5x2 is recommended for 3 piggies, a 6x2 would be ideal, bigger is always better especially as males can be quite dominating, also make sure to have several hides and water bottles, hay areas etc. hope that was helpful!
Would I be able to use transparent cnc grids for the cage? I want to update my cage to be 2x6 and the clear ones are cheaper and I don’t have to make a bottom.
Hi! Great video! Comment/question for cage (8?), the one with a divider down the middle with skinny pigs. It looks like all the panels are solid. Shouldn't these be more ventilated at least on two sides per section (plus the top is open for the 3rd side)? Solid panels down the middle is probably great for keeping the more aggressive piggy from nipping at the others but I think the outside panels need holes for proper ventilation.
I really enjoy watching your videos! Especially this cage reacting series, I find myself rewatching your videos multiple times for cage inspiration! I was wandering, would you be willing to make another video of reacting to cages because I'm upgrading my girls cage in a few days (when the cage arrives) and Id love your opinion on it and possibly some advice for what I could do to make it even better!! Im open to critiques about my cage as I want to make my piggies as happy as possible! 🥰
I know that the majority of the cages weren’t horrible but sometimes these videos depress me. If u watch her videos you clearly know the care requirements. Why submit if u only have one pig or your cage is too small? Why even get a Guinea pig? Ugh
@@gwendalyn13 I’m sorry for you loss. That’s absolutely understandable. I do know there are reasons out of our control in which one piggy may be alone. I hope your future bonding goes smoothly. Take care!
Are there any laws about minimum cage sizes for pigs where you live? We have laws for cage sizes in Sweden and they are incredibly small! Like I can’t even wrap my head around it, the law states that animals should be able to behave naturally etc but the cage sizes for one pig is at least 0,3 m2 with the shortest side being 0,4 meters. When keeping more than one pig each pig should have 0,15 m2. That means that for two pigs it is enough with a 15 3/4 inch by 29 17/32 inch cage. It is a disgrace.
I don’t know if we have laws, but i highly doubt it. And if we do, they certainly don’t call for enough space based on what is being sold in pet stores
@@autumngrace. here pet stores can even legally sell cages that are smaller than the minimum 😩 It is up to the owner to follow the law not the ones selling cages.
I love these video's but almost 30 minutes long... hard to conclude it in a busy daily shedule. I would skip the intro next time. You say it in every new video. No need. People know if they follow you.
I love the long videos 😊 and I think the intro is important because new people could click on the video. If I click on a new persons video and know nothing about them or what to expect on the channel I tend to leave. You can just skip the intro if you don’t like it it’s labeled in the video.
The intro is less than 2 minutes long. Feel free to skip it. I conveniently put timestamps in the description so you could. Look at that. Also, around half of my viewers are actually not subscribed to me. I can see that in my analytics. And a disclaimer is necessary. If you saw the kind of comments I get sometimes you would understand that I need to specify that I am not a professional. I have had plenty of people tell me they prefer longer videos. So I will continue to cater to what the majority of my audience wants to see, as well as too what I want to make on MY channel.
It is my opinion. But you should do what you want of course with your content. Sorry I never read the text under videos. Good to know I can skip it and that you have it shown with a time stamp.

I love this video so much!!!! I love seeing other peoples cages!!! I hope there is a part 6,7,8,9 and 10!!!
You can tell what size the grid is by counting the number of squares per grid. 14 inch safe grids have 9. 14 inch unsafe have 8 or less. 11 to 12 inch grids have 7 squares. Just a tip!
thank! I guess I could tell with that if I assumed everyone was using the safe size grids!

You can try switching from Timothy to Orchard hay!

Thank you!! I use Adobe premiere pro! But Final Cut Pro & davinci resolve at other good editors (and cheaper haha)
@@autumngrace. great thanks!
@@bananacreampie9683 oh okay and thanks for the support
@@annabelle.rose.slay. okay thanks!
I loved this video and want to submit my cage soon!
For the first cage, I would lower the water bottles a little. They look a little high to me.
Thank you so much for doing a another one ☝️
hi whats the best size cage for 2 females and 1 male (they all live together)
I would say anything over a 5x2 is recommended for 3 piggies, a 6x2 would be ideal, bigger is always better especially as males can be quite dominating, also make sure to have several hides and water bottles, hay areas etc. hope that was helpful!
congrats on 12k subs!!
Thank you so much 😀
Would I be able to use transparent cnc grids for the cage?
I want to update my cage to be 2x6 and the clear ones are cheaper and I don’t have to make a bottom.
Personally I think they should be fine. As long as they aren’t to high in length so the ammonias can’t get trapped. Hope this helped 😊

Yeah you’re probably right! I didn’t think to mention it but gridded panels would probably be good on the outer sides for more ventilation.

I have a question about the litterbox so are they supposed to use the bathroom and eat hay out of the same box
Yes, they may eat the hay out of their litterbox
I know that the majority of the cages weren’t horrible but sometimes these videos depress me. If u watch her videos you clearly know the care requirements. Why submit if u only have one pig or your cage is too small? Why even get a Guinea pig? Ugh
I don’t know 🥲
Some people only have one Guinea pig because the other one died like me :) I’m probably getting a new one soon though. No hate!
@@gwendalyn13 I’m sorry for you loss. That’s absolutely understandable. I do know there are reasons out of our control in which one piggy may be alone. I hope your future bonding goes smoothly. Take care!
@@botanicals_1259 thanks but sadly my other Guinea pig just died.
Thanks tho :)
Are puppy pads toxic two guinea pigs I was watching Austin on the other UA-cam channel and he said puppy pads are toxic two guinea pigs
You don’t want them to be able to reach the pads bc they may consume them and that could be toxic
Is a 4x2 c and c cage ok for 2 males guinea pigs
Yes, but it is recommended to do bigger for males
What is your business email? I would love to send a picture of my guinea pigs cage! 🌻
It’s in the description
Can you react to my cages I have five guinea pigs And I have 3 cages

youre capable of skipping her intros yourself. what a trivial thing to complain about lol. perhaps if youre so busy and bothered, maybe dont watch?
