might turn out to be a mistake. As you learn the cons of this, you might want to change your mind.

Initially, the cost of buying such cage would usually range from $ 75 and up. But mind you, you are not actually receiving the best that money can buy.

Then, once you purchase this, more likely, you will still be modifying the cage to make it more suitable for your pet to live in it. You should not never buy a cage that has wood interior that is exposed. This only absorbs and becomes drenched in urine smell. Also, never opt for an exposed wire bottom, for this can harm guinea pigs fragile feet. Moreover, avoid beddings with pine scent, for according to studies, these cause liver damage (in opposite, try those with wood shavings without scent or newspaper that is compressed). You may see these options are often times present in those that are available to buy from a pet stores.

When it comes to the size, make sure that you have a minimum of two square feet cage space. As you add another guinea pig, this will entail around two to four more square feet. But alongside this, you have to take note of a space for toys, food, and hiding spots.

Manufacturers can deceive you by presenting to a you a quote of only the exterior size of the box. However, if you learn more about how it is really measured, you will discover that you need to think further about the real measurement needed (considering the number of pets and other fixtures).

So, if you really want to purchase the cage from a store for convenience, take time in thinking carefully about all you needs and consider your all your options.
