What size cage should I choose for my Guinea Pig?

We always recommend Ozzy C&C cages for guinea pigs and rabbits, where you can build your cage to custom size with lots of options to expand and enhance. Plastic bottomed cages, multi-level 'vertical' cages or hutches you find at the pet store are usually far too cramped and are not a suitable size or design for piggies or buns. 

Our Ozzy Cages are tried and tested and come with a TONNE of great benefits, which make them best housing option for critters on the market today!

1. Exercise: Larger cages allow your pets to move around freely, promoting exercise and preventing obesity. 
    

2. Mental Stimulation: A larger cage provides more opportunities for mental stimulation through exploration, hiding spots, and different areas to investigate, reducing boredom and encouraging natural behaviors!
   
   

3.  Social Interaction:  Larger enclosures can accommodate critters social nature, allowing for more harmonious interactions and reducing fights.
   
   

4.  Improved Health: Critters who receive regular exercise are less prone to obesity related issues such as liver, heart and respiratory distress and disease. Boars will also be less prone to developing impaction problems. 
   
   

5.  Enrichment: You can add various toys, tunnels, platforms, and hideouts in a larger space, enhancing the environment and encouraging natural behaviors like foraging and exploring. Check out our store for lots of playtime goodies!
   
   

6.  Easier Maintenance: A larger cage often means less frequent cleaning as poops are more dispersed! It can also be easier to spot clean and maintain hygiene in a larger space.
