Guinea pigs are not solitary animals and need at least one partner for their well-being. Therefore, the guinea pig cage should offer each individual dweller an adequate place for retreat and space. The animals do not feel comfortable in a tight space and need space to play, burrow and rest. Therefore, the larger the guinea pig cage is and the more varied the guinea pig accessories are, the better.

Guinea pigs nibble everything that gets in their way. Therefore, the animals need a house made of natural materials. A wooden guinea pig cage is ideal for indoors and outdoors. In the house, it integrates well into the living environment, in the garden or on the terrace, allowing animals to enjoy a safe and varied stay outdoors.
Size is important when selecting the right guinea pig cage. The Veterinary Association for Animal Welfare specifies a minimum size of 120 x 60 cm. Every animal needs its own sleeping place in the form of a cave or a house as well as appropriate opportunities for activity. Particularly suitable are guinea pig cages made of wood, which can be divided into two or three levels, because even the most sociable small animals need a bit of peace.

Although guinea pigs feel most at home among their own kind, they still need sufficient retreats to be able to get away from each other. Therefore, a larger house for cuddling together as well as a small resting place for each individual animal should be part of the guinea pig setup. Activity and hiding places such as caves, crawling tunnels and climbing houses offer the guinea pigs everything they need for a varied day. The materials should be made of untreated wood or other natural materials, as guinea pigs like to nibble everything.
