What is the best size guinea pig cage? Back when I was a kid, guinea pigs were kept in very small enclosures, and we didn’t give it a second thought.

But really, guinea pigs should have room to exercise! Think of a wild cavy; even if they had a territory they remained within, surely it was bigger than a couple feet square! The best recommendations today are cages that are at least seven feet square, 10 feet being more optimum.  Animals do not want to share their living space with their litter area, which is what happens when a cage is too small.

Increase your guinea pig’s cage size and watch his or her temperament improve significantly. And with that, you will be able to enjoy the increased antics of your little friend.
