Pups will reach adult size very quickly, so it is recommended to have your pups in a cage that is an adequate size for an adult guinea pig. The cage should be at least 7.5 square feet. If you purchased pups from the pet store, make sure that the cage is large enough before you leave the store.  Even though the cage may seem a bit big for your pups, they will appreciate the extra space they will have to run and explore their environment. If you have a mother guinea pig in a cage with her babies, the cage should be large enough (minimum of 8 square feet) to accommodate all of them through the nursing stage.  If your current cage is not large enough, visit your local pet store for assistance in selecting the right size cage. The majority of guinea pig cages are built for adult guinea pigs. For example, there is usually one-inch spacing between the bars on a guinea pig cage. Your pups could possibly be small enough to squeeze through this spacing. To prevent them from doing this, consider purchasing a cage that has a deeper pan at the bottom. The deeper pan would be more difficult for your pups to climb out of. As an alternative to buying a new cage, you can purchase grids with smaller spacing at your local pet store. Secure the grids on the outside of the cage with cable ties. The water bottle should be positioned low enough so that your pups can comfortably reach and sip from the bottle's sipper tube. You may need to reposition the water bottle several times before it's at just the right height for them. These water bottles can be purchased at your local pet store. The lowered water bottle may too low for your pups' mom. If you see that she is struggling to sip from the water bottle, it may be helpful to place a second water bottle at a higher height for her. This is important whether you are bringing home pups or caring for the ones that your female guinea pig has given birth to. Guinea pigs can be very sensitive to noise, so your pups will need to stay in a quiet area during their first few weeks of life.  The cage should also be out of the path of direct sunlight and placed away from vents that could constantly blow air on the cage.  It is ideal for the cage to be placed at approximately waist-level. This can make it easier to clean.
