Your guinea pig's cage should be at least 1 x 2 feet, but the larger the space, the better. Because guinea pigs do not jump or climb, they can be housed in an open-topped enclosure, like a plastic children's pool, as long as dogs or cats do not have access to it. While their fecal pellets are relatively odorless, bedding should be changed weekly to control urine odors.
Cavies are very sensitive to the ammonia in urine.
