Did you know that pocket pets like the guinea pig (aka cavy) are excellent escape artists? Guinea pigs like to explore and enjoy playing on their ramps, platforms and even tunnels. It’s important that you have an escape proof for your cavy or else he will find a way to get out. For instance, if your cage has a top lid, ensure it is locked on the outside and cannot be twisted or unlocked from the inside. Keep tunnels and platforms away from the top of the cage as well. If your cage has a side door, ensure it is closed before leaving your guinea pig. He may not specifically try to open it, but if he bumps into it or it swings open on his own he won’t mind going for an adventure. Talk with your pet store associates to find the best guinea pig cage. You can also consult with your vet clinic Columbia, MD.
