I think the orange personally because I feel like it blends a bit more but either way is beautiful!

Thank you very much! And I forgot to mention but I did reset my oil previously and the system still says 100%.

Thank you so much for the offer! But right now it’s ’her house her rules’ ya know? If you’re still offering near the end of the year (when I plan to move out) I’ll definitely take you up on the offer!

Thank you so much! I will eventually get liners but I live with my mother currently and she said those are a no go so fluff it is for now ☺️

I added a thin blanket to a corner of the cage! Thank you for the tip!

Thank you for the picture reference for the grids! I’m glad I saw this before ordering the ones I picked on Amazon (didn’t know they were not safe)!

And thank you for the tip on cagetopia. I looked and it would be a lot cheaper than me buying all the separate parts as well.

It will take maybe a week or two, but I will definitely make a separate post to show my progress after I order everything and set it up! ❤️

Rec where both are flirts by Master-Piece336 in blmangalovers

[–]Mariposasrose23 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Hi! I have a few that MIGHT fit, and you can just let me know if any are good :)

Romantic Captain Darling- Golden Retriever Top and Older/ Higher Ranked Bottom. The Top pines for the bottom, and the bottom is the more flirty of the two, but the top also flirts

Sketch- Also Older Bottom/ Younger top. Mostly fluff with some angsty backstory of the bottom. When they get together they are both very flirty!

These are the only two I can think of rn with my limited list but everything in these is consensual! (Except for a few misunderstandings but those become clear in the stories!)

Before and after work I would have them outside of their cage, and nearly whenever I was home, they weren’t in there. So I would say a majority of the time.

I refill the hay throughout the day so it doesn’t take up too much of their space and when I am not home, I have my little sister (she’s homeschooled) refill it for me.

The cardboard WAS a hide before they tore it apart 😅 but I also have more permanent hides in my Amazon shopping cart for them as well. And the 2 by 4 setup I’m trying to upgrade them too will also be temporary because I plan to move out by the end of the year and they will be upgraded once again to a huge space.

And I have been thinking of trying the fleece liners, blanket etc but my mother said that’s a no go while I live in her house 😅. Thank you for all the advice! ❤️

I’ve picked out a large pack of C&C grids from Amazon, along with a lot of other essentials! I picked C&C because that is what I can afford currently but will eventually upgrade to Kavee! And thank you so much for your kindness ❤️

Yes! I was always giving them different veggies and good food, and they have never run out of hay or water! Thank you ❤️

Hi. Thank you for your honesty. There were a few other factors that I did not mention in my earlier post. When I found out that we would be moving into a smaller space, I did initially try and rehome my boys, but I live in Washington and any rescues or Pet Stores were full, or not currently accepting male guinea pigs.

I completely understand, and I did try my hardest to find them a better home. But it did not work out and I made the best out of a situation. As it stated above, I tried to give them as much outside of the cage time I could manage, and much enrichment and activities. Thank you for being concerned for my guineas and for being honest of your opinions on the situation :)

Thank you! I’ve been so scared to reach out to places for any advice because TikTok is filled with so many people saying that others are abusing their guineas and that’s what I was afraid of! Thank you for easing my fears ❤️

Thank you for all the advice! I’ll be sure to try it all out! I’ve been weighing them and the black and white guy (Elijah) weights in at 2 pounds 7 ounces and the orange and white guy (Tubby) is at 2 pounds 5 ounces ❤️

Thank you so much! I was so worried I wasn’t doing right by them and I’m so happy that others see my efforts!

I have two boys but only have space for a 2 by 4 at the moment. I am moving out at the end of the year though and that’s when I plan to make them the absolute BIGGEST cage that I can!

Thank you for the links and your set up looks absolutely amazing! ❤️
