Hello! My Guinea Pig Likes To Stand Up In His Cage And Put His Claws On The Side Of The Cage. That's All Cute And All But The Top Part Is Wire With A Plastic Bottom ,So When He Stands Up Bedding Off Of His Feet Fall Onto My Dresser And Or My Floor. If You Could Tell Me An Answer To This Problem I Would Be Utterly Grateful.

Mackenzie --

This is always a problem with guinea pigs.  They love to kick bedding out of their cage.  Your best bet would be to find a tray that is larger than the cage and place the cage in the tray.  That way the mess is all contained.  If it is too large to fit into any tray, try a small throw rug or even a towel under the cage.  Hopefully that will help you contain the mess.  There is no way to keep him from making one, though, so I would just think about how to keep the mess from spreading.

Hope this is helpful.  If you have any more questions, please feel free to contact me.  Good luck!
