The most generally overlooked aspect in selecting a guinea pig cage seems to be cage size. Certain, individuals may believe they look at cage size when purchasing a cage. But, judging by the number of little, “regular” pet shop cages nonetheless being purchased every year, it is clear that individuals do not truly appear at cage size.Let’s do a little believed experiment. The typical guinea pig is about 9 to 15 inches in length. The typical height for a human is roughly 5’4″ to 5’10”. An average pet shop cage is 24-inches by 16-inches.Place your self in your pig’s place. An equivalent size space for you would be approximately 8-ft by 12-feet – the size of a big bathroom or a small bedroom. So, living your whole life in a large bathroom or little bedroom may not appear horrible – but it would definitely be a challenge to get a substantial amount of physical exercise in a space that small.An additional related factor that I’m convinced that people do not think about when sizing a cage are the extra accessories that your pig requires – such as a nest box, a food dish and a hay rack.So let’s return to our hypothetical equivalent room. When we add a nest box to our pig’s cage, we are adding an item that is maybe ten to 12-inches on each side. That might be equivalent to developing a seven-foot by seven-foot storage shed and placing it our hypothetical equivalent room with us.Add a food dish to your pig’s cage (about half the size of your pig) and it’s like throwing a kiddie pool – 3-feet in diameter in the middle of the floor in our room.Of course we’re going to need a water bottle. This would be roughly equivalent to something the size of a hot water heater standing in the corner of our equivalent room.A hay rack is has a footprint of roughly 4 by seven inches. So adding a hay rack to the wall may be roughly equivalent to pushing a couple of nightstands up against one of the walls in our hypothetical equivalent space and putting them side-by side.Does this sound like a lot of space? Does it sound like someplace you would like to spend the rest of your life? Let us review.We begin by moving into an 8 x 12 space – an region roughly the size of a large bathroom or a little bedroom. Subsequent we put up a 7×7 storage shed in the corner. This leaves us with an eight-foot by 5-foot space in front of the shed and a useless 1-foot by seven-foot narrow strip along the side of the shed.Then, to make matters worse, we place a three-foot wading pool, a water heater and two nightstands in our remaining 8×5 living space. What does this leave us with? We are left with a extremely small and cramped region in which to reside. And, worst of all, our health begins to endure because exercise becomes a nearly not possible job.That’s all on best guinea pig bedding, interested in even more?
