Is this a good size for a guinea pig cage?

Question

for c&c cages I was thinking about getting a 1 by 3 is this a good size because i dont have room by a 2 by 3 if i put it on this table i have

if i were to get a 2 by 3 then i think that i should get more storage cage thingies but idk if my mom wants to pay for it.

what do you think??

help PLEASE

Answer 1

get a hutch for it, a giant, good size hutch that can go OVER your table instead of on it.

Answer 2

A 1 by 3 is not big enough. The min. is 2 by 3.  

Answer 3

It's really not wide enough to have a side of the cage just be one grid in length. It's really narrow, and 1x3 isn't going to meet the 7.5 square feet requirements for a properly sized guinea pig cage. 2x3 is really the smallest you can go.

Answer 4

here is a guide for cage sizes from the cavy compendium...http://www.cavycompendium.com/forums/art...

Answer 5

A 1x3 is definitely too small.  If a 2x3 wouldn't fit on your table then you could build a base for it out of additional cubes.  You would likely need another box of cubes, but explain to your mom it would still be way cheaper than a regular cage.  Plus, you'll have room to store hay and food under the cage.

I was thinking of something like this:

Answer 6

a guinea pig cage should be at least14 by 24 inches the bigger the better though

Answer 7

The bigger the cage, the happier the piggie. I have two 2 by 5 cages, one per guinea pig. If you're gonna get a new cage, you might as well stretch the budget and get a huge cage.
