It's beautiful! I was just thinking today that 4x2 was a little small for my guys and 5x2 would probably be about right. it looks perfect!

I'd say go as big as you can Alden. We've gone from a single 6x2, to a double 5x2, and Snowy loves it. She runs laps and goes up and down the ramp at some speed.

Not tracking down medical info but the hair loss on the one guinea pig, has he/she been treated with ivermectin or Revolution for mites?

This photo - the two spots on the rump. Is it fur color or hair loss? (it looked like hair loss to me)

Cage looks great but just curious...how on Earth do you clean the bottom level?!

The tan pig looks to have some hairloss in the same spots. See the picture below the original of the one Lynx copied.

It's fur colour Lynx. She has light brown splodges on her rump, and on her left ear. Fluffy's go a full covering too, although her coat is really strange. It's soft, but has a wiry texture to it, and it's all different lengths with super long fluff on her rump. I was comparing her to pictures from when I got her around 5 months ago, and she's Fluffier than ever.

I was super observant when I first got them, as my first pair came with lice (from a pet shop - I didn't know any better) and needed to be treated at the vets as they were only 7 weeks old. The poor little boys were riddled and itching like crazy. The rescue treated the girls as a precaution when they were taken in. They don't display any signs of infestation.

The bottom floor of the cage - the front 5 grids come out. The 2 grids at either side are clipped in at the corner, cable tied together, and work as a 1 grid door, and a 2 grid section that pops out. When both 2 grid sections are removed, the front of the plastic folds down, and the middle grid with the water bottle attached can be removed. I haven't needed to take the middle grid out for cleaning. It holds the weight of the top floor and stops the front from sagging.

How interesting! You can see how it looked like a bald patch. Glad they're in good shape!

Fluffy wanted to share how beautiful she looks after a bath, brush, blow dry, and manicure.

And how 5 minutes later she's back to looking like she's been chewing on electrical wires!

The first time I saw Snowy I was amazed at her brown spots. They give her a unique look. Fluffy, aww, she's just so fluffy!
