Basic Guinea Pig Needs

All points mentioned for rabbit care apply to guinea pigs. Guinea pigs can, however, be housed in slightly smaller hutches. The recommended hutch size for two guinea pigs is 150cm in length by 60cm in width by 60cm in height. In addition, a healthy guinea pig's movement is marked by a rapid shuffling close to the ground.
