    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

    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 😊

    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.😊💓

    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!

    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.😊

    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.

    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!
