Answer
Hi Rita,

Get the biggest cage that you can afford and have space for! Guinea pigs are very sociable, active creatures and they love to run around and play - as such, you should get two guinea pigs, not just one. I have a Cassita Ferplast 120 for my two boars, and it's brilliant - it's an indoor rabbit cage. These indoor cages can be expensive though, so you may prefer to get a traditional hutch (which you can still keep indoors) or to make your own using the "c&c method" - there are lots of websites about c&c cages.

Before you get your pets, I'd recommend you read The Really Useful Guinea Pig Guide by Myra Mahoney - it's great for people who are thinking about getting guinea pigs, and will answer most of your questions.

I hope this helps, but let me know if you need anything else.

Jenny.
