To ensure the safety and containment of guinea pigs in their enclosure, I recommend taking the following measures:

Construct the coroplast side walls of the cage high enough to prevent easy access to any holes that they could potentially squeeze through. This will help keep them securely contained within the designated area.

Securely tie the coroplast walls to the cubes or grids of the cage to prevent accidental toppling or movement that could disrupt the enclosure. This will provide added stability and prevent any mishaps.

When selecting cubes or grids for the cage, choose the appropriate size to suit the needs of your guinea pigs. Avoid using cubes with small openings or holes that young or small guinea pigs can crawl through. Opt for cubes with larger openings, typically around six holes per side, which are more suitable for larger pigs.

In situations where you need a temporary cage solution, consider using a baby swimming pool made of hard plastic. This can serve as a practical and secure enclosure for your guinea pigs in a pinch, providing them with a safe and contained space.

By implementing these measures, you can ensure the safety and security of your guinea pigs within their enclosure, whether it’s a permanent setup or a temporary solution.
