Question
Hello

I am getting a pair of five week old females in a few days but still have a few questions.

I have a cage/water bottle/food dish/brush/shampoo/nail clippers and will pick up the food and bedding the same time I get them, does it sound like I'm missing anything? What bedding would you reccomend? Also I may add another young female in the future, would they fight with the new one?

Answer
Hi,
I'm sorry its taken so long to answer!

It sounds like you have gotten the things that you really need. Some other things that would be good to have are corner toilets, they are great. And a kittylitter scoop, it makes cleaning the cage so much easier.
For bedding just make sure it isn't dusty or moldy or anything like that. Cedar shavings are not good.
If they will fight with the new female is really mostly a question of the pig's that you have personality. I haven't had three guinea pigs at the same time so I don't know so much about it.

Good luck with your pigs!
