XD Lonin has an L shaped one. 2x5 in total. Going to expand it by x1 but we don't have space for any more. May consider an upstairs but Jack would probably enjoy that too much.
Still need to get some correx/coroplast for it. :B

My piggies like to curl up in blankets and then when you try to get them out they chitter at you. It's pretty funny XD Sherbert is ticklish under the belly, he starts popping when I rub him there.



Wow, cool cage!
My guinea pigs live in a Kaytee Rabbit home. I think it would be reasonable space for 3 guineas.

c: If it's this one http://www.kaytee.com/products/kaytee-4 ... t-home.php it's only suitable for 1 or 2. If Lonin can math right (she probably can't) it's only 7.8sq ft whereas the minimum for 3 is 10.5sq ft, ideally 13sq ft. Edits: And that will be measured by the outside not the inside which will be smaller.
It's a fine cage for a pair though, if a little small. c:

If it's the smaller one it's not suitable for any piggies.

Nikki didn't like her bath at all. While I was rinsing her, she squirmed to get away and her head ended up under the faucet for a moment. :/ Ugh. I was trying to avoid getting her head wet at all, but she drenched it. I clipped her nails (I cut one nail a little bit too short and there was a squeak and a tiny drop of blood :c), gave her a small slice of orange to help prevent her from getting sick, and now she's in the bathroom drying off. I turned the heat up to 75°F (she gets cold so easily!) and closed the door so it isn't drafty or cool in there.

I'm jealous of your cage. :c Granted, I only have one piggy (yes, yes, that's bad, I know, I'm working on getting another eventually). Nikki hates having her belly rubbed, but loves it when I rub her nose.

That's too small for three guinea pigs, and although more space is always better, more space is most definitely preferred if you have two boars in the cage.

XD Lonin's pigs never liked baths. Stripe could jump from the bath to Lonin's shoulder in one jump. It was very impressive. :B
Wet pig is quite cute though. XD

Oh, yes, Nikki does that jump too. :v She soaks me.
I love how when I start to dry her, her fur poofs out. xD

I do my best to not get the head and neck wet, at all. It's pretty funny when your done washing them because they look like little wet lions XD So cute.
I’m pretty much inactive these days.

>:U I think I've gone deaf! (Not really) Midnight, one of the babies, will not stop squeaking! And it's not one of those 'Feed Me!' squeaks! It's one of those really,really, REALLY high pitched ones. -.- *Goes to get ear plugs*

I have one guinea pig that loves having baths. She's called Rosie and she is an estimated six to seven years old. Unfortunately with her being mostly white and the fact that she likes to lie down in the spot that she urinates in means I have to give her more baths than any other of my guinea pigs. Rosie is so chilled out that I can hold her like a baby under the tap to rinse the guinea pig shampoo off of her tummy. In fact, she seems to enjoy it. She's been known to purr during bath time. However, her blind daughter Snowball hates baths so much that she wriggles and squirms. She also once managed to jump out and she landed on my shoulder.
