How to use:
A guinea pig's home needs to be kept away from draughts, yet able to let in fresh air and natural light. It also needs to be protected from extreme temperatures. Please ensure guinea pigs are kept away from radiators and place them in a quiet place away from other pets.
Setting up a small animal cage:
- Wash all cage parts and accessories in warm water with washing up liquid or pet safe disinfectant, rinse thoroughly and allow to dry.
- Fill base of cage with bedding deep enough for your pet to dig into.
- Add nesting material (ideally two types to provide choice).
- Add correct quantity of food bowls, houses, toys etc. For social species it is best to have at least one of each resource per pet (e.g. if keeping two guinea pigs, provide at least two water bottles, two food bowls, two houses etc.)
- If transferring pets from an old cage to new add some of their old, but unsoiled bedding.
- If they are new pets most breeders and shops will add some bedding to the transport box to help settle them in, add this to the cage.
- Let your pets into the cage and allow them to explore.
- Make sure that they are relatively undisturbed for a while as they settle into their new home.
A full instruction manual is included in the box when purchased making it easy to assemble your home.
