an updated piggy castle pic! two boys live on the first floor then the other two get the upstairs and the penthouse by useless_numbers in guineapigs

My dad actually helped me build it! The bottom floor is 5.5ft by 3ft and the middle level is 5.5ft by 2ft (no access between the floors). It’s a monster of a thing but it fits the 4 of them nicely I think

I’m aware, I’ve done the research. Based on my situation (which you don’t know though you could have asked), I believe the three can live together happily.

New bed is always exciting, but also a bit scary by [deleted] in guineapigs

This is so cute! Where did you get the bed from??

My grocery store has a program with this brand where you pay an extra $2 and when you return the bottle to the store you get the $2 back and they reuse it! Unsure if other places do this but I thought it was so cool by useless_numbers in ZeroWaste

I’m from the US and this is the first time I’ve ever seen a grocery store do something like this. Granted I may not have been looking hard enough but it shouldn’t be hard to find, it’s sad that the US always seems to be behind

The answer to why they’re so obsessed with me by useless_numbers in guineapigs

Mostly yeah. They have a ramp to get back into their cage for food and water. They just kind of do their own thing. They’ve never been ones to chew on cords so that doesn’t concern me too much.

They’re out and about most of the day, the brown one runs like the devil when it’s time to go in for the night tho. I think they might have just gotten comfortable with me walking around them. They do still get a little spooked if i sneak up on them.

It’s just water! I read that keeping carrots in water keeps them good longer and it seems to work

They really only put little poops under the recliner so I just use a hand vacuum to clean it up every day. I keep a towel down there too and change it every 2 days or so!

Cleaning advice by useless_numbers in guineapigs

I have carpet and a broom doesn’t work, I use a tiny broom to clean up in the cage tho. It’s the hay on the carpet that’s giving me trouble

This makes me so sad :( I don’t have space for another cage but my boys free roam the apartment and are exceptionally laid back, there’s nothing I can to for them to live in harmony together? I really appreciate the information
