Question
Hello

Is a 28"x28" cage large enough for a single pig? Would it be large enough for a breeding pair?

How offen and for how long should I let my guinea pigs out of there cages daily?

Can I give my guinea pigs cat jungle balls to play with?

Can guinea pigs be learned to use a litter pan?

Answer
That cage should be big enough for ONE guinea pig, Why do you want to breed. But for 2 that would be too small
here is a link on breeding (its a good site)

You should let them have 15 min. floor time

Those can have things on them that can be chewed off and they can choke

I know of people who have been sucessful with litter training, but the guinea pigs can eat and choke on the litter.

 I have bread a few of my girls and I have been lucky but you have a 1nad five chance of loosing your sow when breeding (20% chance)  .

 if you have any more questions feel free to ask!
