How to Decorate a Guinea Pig's Cage

Your guinea pig may not seem to mind just hanging out in his hum-drum cage filled with nothing but a water bottle, food dish and a bunch of wood shavings. There are plenty of fun things you can add to his cage, though, to decorate it and make it interesting and stimulating for your furry rodent friend.

      Make feeding and snack time more fun for your guinea pig by adding a "Rollin' the Hay" feeder to his cage. This ball sits on a frame so your furry friend can spin it when he wants to get a snack. Take the ball off the stand to let your guinea pig roll it around his cage while getting his snack.

      Turn your guinea pig's cage into a sleepy highway with the addition of a Select Sleeper, a soft-sided bed that looks like an SUV, car or truck. The soft fabric adds to the colorful decor of your friend's cage while giving him a cozy place to curl up at nap time.

      Brighten up your guinea pig's cage with a Super Igloo. The colorful and translucent plastic gives your pet a protective hideaway for sleeping, something guinea pigs crave, while allowing you to keep an eye on him. And the sand castle look of this igloo lends a beach feel to the cage's decor.

      Give your furry pet an edible shelter like the Ecotrition Snak-Shak Hideaway which looks like a tropical grass hut, or the Gnawsome Hut that provides shelter and comes with colorful fruit-flavored snacks.

      Help your guinea pig enjoy the feeling of a treehouse with the Super Pet Roll-a-Nest, a woven, round basket-like bed. This piece of tree-top decor provides your pet with exercise as he rolls it around the cage when not sleeping in it.
