How can i make my mum let me keep my guinea piggies inside?

Question

theres 5 of em, and they all live outside, and i feel so bad when i see it raining, or someone with pampered indoor piggies, that could be me!

ive got a millipede a triop and 4 fish in my room, and space is a bit pushed, but i do have an indoor cage for ops and when theyre ill, and thats about the size of a pretty big hutch. could i stack them on top of each other, if i kept swapping them around so they all got equal amounts of light and stuff, and made sure they wouldnt fall off?

how much noise would they make? one of them is really squeaky and want to be picked up whenever she sees a human. could living inside stop that, and would they all get tamer??

oh. bad thing. my mums alergic to fury things, but shes getting much better with them...

Answer 1

you could tell her (if its hot or cold were you live) that its dangerous for the outside...

Answer 2

Great that you want them to live indoors! But stacking their cages is not safe, unless the cages were securely connected. Do they all live together now? If they do, it's best to keep them together as separating them would break their hearts!

Wouldn't the 'cage' for your triops be a tank? Under no circumstances can guinea pigs live in a tank, there is not enough ventilation for  guinea pigs in a tank. You need to keep them in a cage with bars of some sort, so they can breathe well & smell the world around them, as smell is one of their strongest senses.

Have you ever heard of C&C Cages? Do you have to house them in your room? If there is another place in the house you could keep them, you could build them a C&C Cage. My five boys adore theirs! Check out this website for my information, they're easy to build, easy to clean, and fantastic for the guinea pigs. Cheap, too!

I would e-mail you, but the verification thing for the Yahoo e-mail services is confusing the heck out of me! So I'll post this here, you just choose where you are from!

Show her this page and scroll down to the living outside part: http://www.guinealynx.info/housing.html

Good luck convincing her and building a C & C cage!
