while you can keep them out for a loooong time as long as they have food and water. but beware lol if you are holding them then they will pee on you usually if held for more then a half hour tops (at least my guinea pig lol). i almost always hold her with a towel because of this reason. without food or water i would say that you shouldn't keep them out for more then a couple hours (and yes if they are grazing grass counts as food and you can keep them out for at least up to 3 hours in this case).
I'm not an expert so i would be careful. and remember if it is hot you should not leave your guinea pig outside unless it has a cool shaded place to go if it wants to and you should still not leave it out for more then half hour i would say if it is hot.
You need to change your guinea pig cage on a regular basis and before it gets dirty and stinks. That is not healthy for the guinea pigs. I would change it at least once or twice a week, depends on how many guinea pigs are in one cage. Keep it dry and nice smelling. Don't forget to add those greens to their diet, along with the pellets as they need Vitamin C in their diet. Alfalfa hay, carrots & their tops, green leafy lettuce but not too much, broccoli, etc.
You should get a big cage for your guinea pig. Guinea pigs need ample space to move around, explore, exercise, and feel comfortable. A larger cage will also allow for the addition of hideouts, toys, and other enriching items to keep your guinea pig happy and healthy.
I guess you could. However guinea pigs need lots of space to run, so you would need a TON of legos. Also make sure the guinea pig can't jump over the walls, that they can't be knocked down, and if they chew on them to much, you will need to get a new cage as this is bad. Try looking on guinealynx.info or guineapigcages.com for more info about guinea pigs.
Yes, pregnant guinea pigs should be separated from other guinea pigs, including their cage mates, to ensure they have a safe and stress-free environment to give birth and care for their young. It is recommended to provide a separate, comfortable nesting area for the pregnant guinea pig.
Guinea pigs need a cage that is at least 7.5 square feet in size with a solid bottom. Provide bedding, such as hay or paper-based bedding, to keep them comfortable. Make sure the cage is placed in a quiet, draft-free area with good ventilation.
Opinion 1: No, it is nor okay. They can severely damage their feet and can cause a painful infection. Get a cage with no wire floor.Opinion 2:There is absolutely no problem with having a guinea pig cage with a wire floor. Having bred guinea-pigs for a great many years, I can assure you that never once did any of our guinea-pigs suffer any damage at all to their feet as a result of a wire cage.Wire floor cages are necessary in warmer parts of the world where the guinea-pigs spend all their time utdoors. this way, they can still get to the grass underneath the cage, and engage in their natural behaviour, which is to graze. If your guinea poig cage does not have a wire floor, or some other way for the guinea pig to get to the grass, you are depriving it of something which is instinctive.If your guinea pig is a completely indoors guinea pig (which is unnatural in itself), the floor of its cage must be wood or some other sturdy material with no gaps. Wire floor cages are only good if the cage sits flat on the ground.
Of course it's fine! You just need to clean out the cage more often.
No, paraketes need a bird cage not something made for a guinea pig. They have special needs for their cage so you need a bird cage.
Guinea pigs need space to move around in, and some hamster cages are pretty small. Ideally a guinea pig needs at least 0.75 sq. m. If your pet seems like it does not like its cage, get a bigger cage soon

For two guinea pigs you need at least 7.5 feet of cage.
no guinea pigs are herd animals while hamsters need there privacy
For a cage you need a minium of 7.5 feet for 1 guinea pig. In reality, a guinea pig can live happily in a smaller cage which measures around 3 feet x 2 feet. guinea pigs are grazing animals and they do not need a lot of space. If you have an outdoor cage with a wire base and move it around on fresh grass regularly, it will be very happy in a smaller space.
No they need a cage with no wire bottom floor try making a c&c cage.
No. That is torture to a guinea pig. Guinea pigs need a huge cage 7.5 feet is recommended at a minimum!
Yes use pine bedding NOT sawdust it is very bad for there lungs if you need any advice on guinea pigs contact a guinea pig rescue not a pet store
yes but only in the summer as if the guinea pig gets too cold i the winter it will die and by the way you will need a huch not a cage as a cage will get too much wind as it has no private bit or shelter and your guinea pig will get wet !
no all you need to do is make sure you kep his or hers cage clean
