Will this work as a home (not just a playpen) for my 3 guinea pigs? They are outgrowing the largest cage I can find.

I think this would work well as a home for 3 guinea pigs. I used this for 3 puppies I was raising, probably pretty close to the size of guinea pigs, and it was perfect.

I would not recommend this as a home for 3 guinea pigs. When I got it home and set it up as a play pen, it was smaller than I expected, even for just one ferret.

You can just leave the grate out and it will give your guinea lots of room in the fluffy bedding. I added one hole on the middle of each side on the bottom tray, up at the top. I use a zip tie and this gives it more support. I use mine for our 2 pet ducks, they are kind of heavy so we had to do that. I just cut the ties off when I need to change the tray and replace them. The tray is really deep and no litter goes on the floor. You can build a little house with steps so he/she can come up and see everyone. This cage is huge, it is a little smaller than a baby crib, it's that big.

Yes, I think it would be a good size for guinea pigs. I bought it for my mini lop rabbit.

I'm not sure about hedgehog care, but I believe they need more space than this cage. It's a great cage, but it only allows room for dome/hut for guinea pig plus food dish and hay. There is very little room left. We have to let guinea out to play in a larger area. I think hedgehogs need at least a 4'x4' cage and this is not big enough. I have a bigger cage than this one as well, made for rabbits, that would be better.

We have two pigs in ours and they seem to have plenty of room. They do enjoy coming out of the cage for a run but the cage is very large and there is plenty of space for them to be comfortable.

Yes it would be large enough as long as it can come outside the cage to play a little.I was a vet tech for 10 years and I think it would be fine.It is a very nice cage.

If it is a standard rat, that is full grown, I would not suggest this cage for a weekend home. It is a good size for transporting small animals, but would be too small for a rat. By the time bedding, and dishes were put in the cage, there would be very little room for a rat to move around. The cage itself is about the size a roll of papertowels, so it's not actually that big. I hope this helps.

I would think so, we are using ours for a guinea pig which is full grown and oh may he is all over the place. Got really strong also.

We are using it for two larger guinea pigs and it is large enough for them, but probably could not accommodate a 3rd guinea pig. I have never had a hedgehot but I believe they are about the length of a dollar bill, give or take. If that's the case, this cage would probably work well. If the animal was small (like a dwarf hamster or mouse) the animal may be able to fit through the bars and escape. I have been very happy with this cage, especially given the price.

It was a gift sent from Amazon to a friend so I never saw it but if it has a bottom in it rather than just the sides around, it would be perfect for your guinea pigs I would think. I don't know anything about guinea pigs but the pen has mesh on the sides so if they chew, it might not work. Hope this helps.

I don't see why it wouldn't work just fine: my guinea pig is just about the same size as a hedgehog and he can easily and comfortably maneuver around the pen area without any problems

I think it would work great! It's almost twice the size of the "usual" pack and plays. If you've ever seen one of those "old timey" wooden playpens, this one is comparable in size.

The rat "rule" is 2 cubic space per rat, so I would say that cage is much too small. I had this cage and used it as a travel cage for my two females when they would go to the vet. It might be pricier, but a large multi level cage is better. I found a few that, if I still had rats, I would use:Super Pet My First Home for Exotics, LargeKaytee My First Home Deluxe Multi-Level Pet Home with CastersMore info: http://www.rat-care.com/housing.html

I have two of these habitats. I bought the ones with wire tops but my guinea pigs aren't able to get out even when the tops are open. (most of the time) I really only close them when my outdoor cat comes in for a visit. These cages are great for my needs. You need to have a table to put them on, as they only have a canvas bottom. I use fleece for the bedding with a hospital chuck (also found on Amazon) under the fleece. They are easy to clean and the pigs seem to be very happy. Don't worry about escapes. They can't.

yes. and we love the habitats. We have ordered 2 now as well have 3 guinea pigs and need to keep them seperate. it is a wonderful cage for the guineas. It makes cage maintenance more convenient as well as you can make one end smaller for a potty for your guinea. The cages stay much cleaner and neater.

I have one piggy in the Large size and she's still a baby, I wouldn't even think of putting another in the same cage!! 2 in the XL would be ok, but not 3. Each piggy needs about 4-6 square feet of living space, the large cage just barely provides that for 1 guinea
