(Medium Sized/Only one guinea pig)
Answers:
That is far too small. Guinea pigs need lots of room for them to run about and explore- not only will your guinea pig be very pleased with a bigger cage, you'll see a lot more activity from him and it will make owning him as a pet a lot more worthwhile. Take a look at www.guineapigcages.com for information on how to build your own cage that is a lot more suitable for your pet and will cost you a lot less money, plus you can personalise it to suit your needs.
Yes
no that's far too small.

That's more the right size, because they need somewhere to hide to go to sleep in, and they need room to move about.
Guinea pigs chew; I'd worry about the plastic bottom holding up.
This site has custom guinea pig cages: http://www.guineapigcages.com/
Way to small. One pig needs 7.5 square feet. It sounds like a whole lot but it's not what it seems. However, It is bigger than that cage. A C%26C cage is bigger and much cheaper than the cage you found. Read this site for instructions on how to build www.guineapigcages.com
No, a little too small. Get one that is like 3-5 inches bigger.
Guinea Pigs are fairly easy to care for. A cage should have plenty of room for them to play and explore. The floor should be easy to clean, but not wire like bunny cages because the pads of their little feet will get caught and possibly even become torn. They should be allowed time outside of the cage daily to run around on the floor and even outside if possible, but with supervision so that they do not get lost or hurt.
This would be a good cage if there is nothing in the bottom to catch the guinea pigs feet and if you stick to a size large and up. Guinea pigs need a lot of room since they do get a little bigger.
that is an ok cage for a guinea pig, if you plan to spend a lot of time with your piggy. (and as long as it DOES NOT HAVE A WIRE FLOOR) they actually do much better in larger cages. they seem to be happier in larger cages. the link below has some wonderful ideas on housing for happy piggies. remember piggies love to run, play, and stretch their legs just like we do. and they love having the room to do it in.anyway, best of luck with your lil piggy...
Why go to such an expense? You can raise a guinea pig in a plastic tub from wal-mart. The water bottle hangs right off the side, put some shavings and a food dish in the bottom and you are set. I have personally raised many pigs this way.
It's just not enough room. Try here: http://www.guineapigcages.com/buycc.htm...
You can buy the entire cage kit for half of what you'd pay for the first cage you linked to, and it's the recommended size for happy healthy piggies! Bottom line, nearly all "pet store" cages just don't cut it for guinea pigs.
yeah, that's sort of like the kind i have for my gp
Nooooooo! Listen to what people are telling you!
Acanoffleas, Memphis Gal, %26 El have it right. There should be at least 7 1/2 square feet of space for one pig. If you put your piggie in this cage, there will be no room for him/her to move once you have a pigloo %26 feed dish in there. Visit the guineapigcages website %26 find out how to build you a cage with the minimum space requirements. Its really not difficult at all! Once I had my supplies, I had it put together in about 20 minutes! Go for it! I KNOW you can do it!! ;-)
Best of luck!
we got a very long clear plastic rubbermaid tub for ours, that was only a foot deep. she had plenty of room to run around, plus it was really easy to keep clean.
