The guinea pigs live indoors in a cage that I designed and Big Daddy built. It is a coffee table with a removable lid. Guinea pigs are prey animals and quite nervous so the lid gives them quite a bit of comfort. But they still like to be inside of their little houses-- inside the cage. Very nervous!!
A lot of thought went into the building of this cage. And it is the most awesome guinea pig cage ever!!!The bottom of the cage is a shower pan liner made of metal. It just sits inside the wooden structure. The whole metal liner pan can be removed and washed with a hose outside. I put newspaper on the bottom and then hay and the piggies love it. When it is time to clean the cage, I just roll up the newspaper on the bottom.
Our guinea pigs always have access to a guinea pig/rabbit pellet but their diet mainly consists of vegetable scraps and grass from outside. We do not spray for weeds or bugs--so our grass is delicious for the piggies. One of the children's daily chores is to pick grass for the guinea pigs. It takes about 1 minute but they still complain!
