One of the most important things that you can do for your pet guinea pigs is to give them a home with plenty of room to run around and play and get exercise. This will ensure that your guinea pig is healthy and will live a long and happy life.
The guinea pig hutch that will be home to your furry little pets should be sufficiently large to allow them to run laps! They love to do this, and it’s good for them. A good guideline for the appropriate size for your guinea pig hutch is between seven and eight square feet for a single guinea pig (but you should get two – they are sociable creatures and do better with a companion) and between ten and eleven square feet for a pair of them. So a single guinea pig hutch might have dimensions of 2.5 feet by 3.0 feet and a hutch for two piggies might measure 3.0 feet by 3.5 feet.
Make sure that your hutch has wire walls and is not a glass enclosure like an aquarium. Aquariums are great for fish, but not for guinea pigs. The wire-walled hutch will give your guinea pigs better ventilation and will help keep the cage dryer and better smelling, plus the fresh air is obviously much better for the animals. The floor of the hutch should not be made of wire however, because the wire mesh is hard on the guinea pigs small feet and they can get caught up in the mesh. The floor should be solid but not made out of wood. A wooden floor tends to soak up the animals urine and then will be a source of bad smells and a breeding place for bacteria. A plastic hutch floor is most common, and is very easy to clean. If the floor can slide in and out easily all the better!
