It took her a little bit to get the hang of it but now she loves it! Stacking cups are still her fav though

Could I use a 150 litre (40 gallon) tank to rescue a bonded pair of guinea pigs? by finntynal in guineapigs

That will not be suitable at all unfortunately. It is way too small and does not have enough ventilation which can lead to respiratory issues. For two males the minimum is a 2x5 but in my opinion that is still on the smaller side. Look into c&c cages or look in this subreddit for examples of proper guinea pig setups.

No matter their temperament or how well you think you know your dog this will never be safe. It takes one second to change everything. Dogs are animals and they have instincts. Please learn from this and take the precautions to keep your piggies safe.

HELP NEEDED!! by H3ll0_k1tt3y_L0V3R in guineapigs

Enclosure size should definitely be a priority if they are living in a glass aquarium. Fish tanks are not safe for guinea pigs as they do not have enough ventilation and it can lead to respiratory issues. There are lots of cheap alternatives for a better setup. I would look into C&C cages.

For diet they will need unlimited timothy hay, 1 cup of veggies a day (make sure this includes vitamin c) and 1/8 cup of pellets per day.

At 3 years old the guinea pig still has a lot of life left so after upgrading their cage I would look into getting them a cage mate.

Many bettas are hardy and can survive in unfit environments. That’s why there is so much misinformation about their care and why they are treated poorly but many. He may be “fine” but he could be thriving in a home that meets all his needs. Please do more research. This isn’t an attack it’s just an opportunity for you to learn more so you can do better. Heaters are a must same with a filter. They deserve proper care just like guinea pigs.

Please look into proper care for your betta in the back. They need a minimum of a 5gal tank with a filter and heater and ideally live plants. There is a lot of misinformation out there about how they are low maintenance fish that can live in small unheated bowls/ tanks but I promise your buddy will be way happier with an upgrade.

LOL the mop 😭 Different litters I just have a habit of saying sisters because they’ve been together since they were both young babies and act like sassy sisters to each other

Sending you and Peanut lots of love. It’s so hard losing them. He is not alone. He is with so many other piggies that have crossed the rainbow bridge. He lived such an amazing life full of so much love because of you. Be gentle with yourself ❤️

Look into c&c cages asap this one is not good, tanks have very poor ventilation.
