Here’s a little different approach to the litter/bedding situation. Looks like they used towels here – lots of them. Not a bad idea, although cotton towels tend to absorb moisture (that’s what a towel is for) and stay damp or wet. A lot of people are starting to use fleece (because it allows fluids to wick through and stays dry on top) with an absorbent material underneath – like a puppy pad. I suppose you could even cover a layer of towels with a layer of fleece. Maybe get a bunch of five-dollar towels at Wal-Mart and try it.

It’s a good idea when introducing two new males to each other that they meet on neutral ground. That looks like what they’re doing here – introducing them in a bathroom.

If you don’t like the idea of letting them run around on the bathroom floor – another good place to introduce two males is in the bathtub.

Here’e an example of a cage that’s too small. Look how cramped this looks.

While we may not agree with this person’s choice of language, we certainly do aggree with the message. When you bring a guinea pig into your home, through no fault of its own, it has become totally dependent upon you for its survival and quality of life. A guinea pig is not a possesion or a piece of furniture. It is a living, breathing being and deserves to be cared for and kept safe and happy. In short, it deserves your respect as one living being to another.

As I said earlier, the presentation method may be lacking, but you gotta admire the passion…
