Silver and pink sputniks but they seem to be unavailable at the moment - keep checking back


Pink and purple sputniks on zooplus


The triple purple/pink hammock I made myself with some fleece and cotton. If you search "diy honeycomb hammock", you'll find lots of easy tutorials on how to make them! It's definitely a bit too small, it was my first attempt. Go bigger than you think you should is my advice lol


This is the fleece I use as bedding


And this


Anytime I get new fabrics, I wash them, dry them, then freeze them for 24-48 hours. I also freeze any new wooden toys, products etc. Prevents a mites problem!


Sputniks are a bit hard to find on amazon, they only come in the smaller sizes it seems like. Zooplus only ships across the EU but Im sending the link anyway in case youre in Europe!


Also it took me around 4 months to build up a collection of this stuff, dont feel pressured to make your cage look pretty or to have lots of stuff all at once! All that matters is your ratties have what they need, and then you can build up from there :)

At the local pet shop, it's actually this one: https://smile.amazon.de/Trixie-62043-Natural-Living-Eckhaus/dp/B000V6DMBC/ref=sr_1_20?ie=UTF8&qid=1549483662&sr=8-20&keywords=haus+kleintier

Guinea pigs, much like humans, have food preferences! You want to stay away from the root vegetables - potatoes, spring onions and the like. Here is a food list of what is good, and what's not for pigs!

If they haven't been fed vegetables before in the pet store, start them off with a bit of grated or zested vegetables - paprika (capsicum in some countries), carrot, even some iceberg lettuce (iceberg lettuce is water disguised as a vegetable; great for treats, not great for nutrition!). Once they've gotten used to eating, you can start chopping up into pieces, then slices, and so on and so forth.

This was the hutch I got for my guinea pigs, but I hate it. The size is terrific, but the quality is terrible - cheap fiber board with shitty fittings. But that will give you an idea of the size you'd like. Ideally something with a 'double decker' is best - you can stow it in a corner without it taking up too much space.

My set up is currently this. Sorry for the shitty quality: only got an iPad to take pictures with. Here is the inside view of the top half complete with nesting box, and here is the bottom half, complete with fuzzy wombat.

So, the 'litter' I have up top is just some generic small mammal litter; I live in Sweden, so it's not a brand that most people would recommend. Any kind will do, or even kitty litter. I line the bottom of my trays with it, then put a piece of fleece (I use VetBed, which you can buy here from Amazon, and cut to size) over the top. What the fleece does is 'wick' the urine underneath, to be absorbed by the kitty litter/absorbing material, leaving the fleece dry and the poops on top. Then I just vacuum up the poops every day and ta-da! Cleaning is done.

Once a week I go through and check underneath the fleece for wet bedding. My pigs are toilet trained, so they do their business in a dedicated litter box, so generally there's not a lot of waste.

The fleece is also machine washable, and reusable, so it cuts down costs a lot. You don't have to use kitty litter - I tried towels before - but I find the litter a little easier to manage. With towels, you need to wash them every day or two, and they can get quite funky.

The hay gets...messy. I always find a strand here or there, even if the rest of the house is sparkling clean! But hay, it could be worse (oh-hoh-hoh...).

Guinea pigs love to hide. You want to buy them lots of hiding spots - ideally, your cage should have a nesting box (a sort of separate room), and then you'll want to pick up little wooden houses off Amazon or your local pet store for pigs. I use this kind, but really any one will do. It gives your pig a place to hide as well as something to gnaw on.
