 Hi everyone, welcome to the tiny herd where we talk about everyday pet care for guinea pigs, rabbits, and other small pets. Today's video I'm going to be reacting to all of your guys enclosures again. So I had you guys send me some of your enclosures to review so we have some for guinea pigs and bunnies today. I'm just gonna keep doing parts in this series as long as you guys want to keep sending them in so you can email them to me at any time and when I have enough I'll just put another video together. So let's just go ahead and jump into the enclosures that I have for today. So the first cage we have here is for two male guinea pigs named Templeton and Wilbur and it is a three by three size CNC cage which is a great size for two piggies. Overall this looks like a nice setup, they have hideys, they have water, they have a water dish and a water bottle it looks like, they have their hay, they have a nice little covered area in the corner which is nice as a hidey and they have some toys in there. So overall this looks like a really good setup. I like that you use the smaller pads in the areas that they probably use the most often like underneath their hay. The only thing that I did notice is it looks like there is bits of like other things in their pellets and normally the healthiest pellets don't have any added bits because those things are generally just full of sugar so I would maybe look into what pellets you're feeding and think about switching to a healthier brand but as I said I don't really know what brand it is so just something to think about but overall the actual cage setup itself looks really good so good job on that. Next up we have a three by four CNC cage for Duke and Waffles. She said that they have pillowcases clipped around the outside of the grids right now because Waffles is a baby so that is a good idea if you weren't aware baby guinea pigs actually can get their head stuck in standard size CNC grid holes so that is a good way to block those off so that he can't get hurt. Overall this cage looks really good honestly you guys send me cages and sometimes I have no anything that I would add. I like your DIY hideys they have hay they have water they have plenty of places to hide you're using fleece and it looks like you're using it correctly there's like smaller pads in some areas that they use the most often so this looks really good and obviously a four by three is plenty big enough for two piggies and it's nice that you're giving them extra space since they are males even if they weren't males more space is always better if you can possibly give it so good job on this cage this one looks really good as well. Alright next up we have a bunny enclosure area so this is for Oreo the bunny and this looks like a nice little setup he has everything he could want I like that he has his own little space in the corner he has his little bed a nice little digging box got his litter box with hay the water bowls in the corner he's got a comfy rug and some toys this looks pretty good I would only add that he needs somewhere that he can run and hide but I noticed that that box looks like it actually has a hole cut in it so that is nice that he also has a hidey a lot of bunnies also just kind of get used to being out in the open when they are house rabbits so that's not a huge deal it's also great that he is litter trained the only thing that I would even mention is to consider getting him a friend because if you didn't know rabbits generally do much better in at least pairs because they are social herd animals but other than that the actual enclosure area itself looks really good and it looks like he is a happy little bunny okay and then we have another guinea pig cage here and I'm just going to read some of the details that she sent me because it has to do with this setup so she said she has one female guinea pig called Penny she gets unlimited Timothy Hay veggies daily and eighth of a cup Timothy Hay based pellets and healthy treats her cage is a Midwest cage that she expanded against the wall to make a double size she also gets two to three hours a day of free roam time and 30 minutes outside on the grass daily which is awesome so she did say that her guinea pig is alone but she did say that she knows it is supposed to have a friend but her parents won't let her get one so that is something that I come up with a lot with comments on my channel that people know that they need to get another guinea pig but their parents won't let them so that is just something you kind of have to work around and do the best that you possibly can to give your pet the best life you can when you can't control you know the expenses or what pets are allowed in your house so that is understandable in those situations so just keep talking about how you need another guinea pig and maybe eventually your parents will come around but overall your cage looks really good to me the size is great for one guinea pig it looks like she has places to hide there's an igloo and a tunnel I see a hay bag and some toys and then it looks like you're using towels as the flooring which will work fine you might just have to change that out a little bit more often than if you were using like cage liners but towels will work just fine people use that as the absorbent layer for if they're using fleece the only thing with the towels is I would just make sure that she is not chewing them which I'm sure you would have seen if that was an issue at this point but your cage looks really good it's a good size and keep on doing it the best you can for a little penny next up we have two female guinea pigs named maple and willow they live in separate cages because they do not get along so the cage under the table is willow and it's a 2 by 3 cnc cage and then the cage on top of the table is maple and it is a Midwest guinea pig habitat so both cages have lids to keep the cat out she said she uses fleece and towels and guinea dead liners and then they have a lot of enrichment toys and that sort of thing they get floor time three times a week and that is the basics of these two piggies so looking at these enclosures they look pretty good especially when they only have one piggy in each one looks like they have everything they need it's a really good idea to have the lid on them if there is a cat I don't really see anything that I would add I see hay and pellets there's a water bottle they have cozy beds they both have places to hide the only thing and I'm just going to point this out because this is just something that I recently learned I don't give my pets anything that's made out of luffa anymore because if you've ever like seen luffa it's actually a sponge so if they chew that and get a larger piece and swallow it it's literally going to puff up like a sponge like I haven't tested it yet but somebody said if you take luffa and put it in water it's going to just like puff up so I'm going to try that sometime but for now I just don't give my guinea pigs anything luffa and I just noticed a couple toys that have that so that might just be something to look into but your cages look really good you did a really good job for both of them when they can't live together making both of their cages nice and enriching for them this next cage is a 2 by 4 cnc cage with a 2 by 2 loft and it has 2 9 month old female guinea pigs in it so that is a great size for two piggies this is a really really cute setup I really like that fleece print they have everything they need that I can tell I see plenty of places to hide some toys some veggies pellets to water bottles hey there's plenty of places to hide I think this is a really good setup I would be really interested to know if your guinea pigs are litter trained or if it just contains the mess upstairs because my guinea pigs I've just had no luck with litter training and I'm jealous of people that can one thing I want to mention and it doesn't really have to do with your setup in particular but when I had a ramp from guinea pig cages store so like the ramp that is on this cage I would put a towel on it sometimes because the whatever coating is covering the floor like that carpet or whatever it is Georgie would slide down it in our cage and was basically giving him himself rug burn on his feet so that might just be something to keep an eye on I don't know that all piggies would do that because my other pigs didn't seem to have issues but Georgie would literally give himself rug burn on his feet with that carpet so just something to be aware of but your cage looks really good it's a really good size great setup I'm sure your piggies are very happy with it and you have the added bonus of making it really cute so good job this next enclosure is for a rabbit named Jasper they said he used to live in the cage for about a month but they managed to persuade their parents to upgrade his enclosure to 21 square feet and they said sorry it's probably not pretty to look at but I love your honest opinion first off good job getting your parents to let him have more space he I'm sure is already much happier having that extra amount of space to get out and stretch his legs in he just looks like he has way more room to move around and honestly if he got really excited he could even do a little mini-bink in that space so great job on that it doesn't matter how pretty or cute your cage is I promise your bunny doesn't care my rabbits spread shredded paper around all the time they don't care how cute it is this enclosure looks pretty good I like that you managed to like combine the cage with the new enclosure area I can see he has places to hide in a tube a couple of toys there's hay in there and a litter box I'm sure I probably just can't see it but I don't see like a water bowl or anything so if you use a water bottle or I just like can't see it a water bowl is usually better for rabbits than a bottle just because they drink so much water and the only thing I'd say about the hay is honestly if it was me I probably wouldn't even use that little hay feeder I would just put a big pile of hay on the floor of that cage since it already has bedding in it and he'll probably use that as his litter box I don't know if you have hay in his litter box but that tends to be where they go to the bathroom the most so that might be an easy thing to do the only other thing I would say is maybe have more toys to like switch out to give him something to do since he is alone I'm gonna assume that since your parents barely let you expand his habitat that you probably can't get another bunny so I would try to make it as enriching as possible especially if you're not able to give him any playtime outside of that cage just get him as many toys interesting things and then kind of just like cycle them out so he always has something new some new variety new things to play with so overall good job getting him upgraded this is a good size for him to live in he can stretch out and hop around a little bit so not too bad at all thank you for sending this in and I hope those suggestions help you out a little bit all right guys and last enclosure for this video we have a five by two cnc cage that is the home of Aspen and Apollo this is a great size for two piggies they said that they were still young so they're constantly making a mess which is pretty much what all piggies do but this is a great size for them and you don't have any issues with baby pigs with those type of grids so that is great it looks like they have everything they need I see hideies places to hide there's hay it looks like you're using fleece the only thing that I'll say about that is from these pictures it looks like it might be that kind of minky fleece and it looks like you put some towels maybe on top of it in my experience that like softer minky fleece doesn't really wick so if you're finding that your cage is staying wet I would try anti-pill or blizzard fleece instead it actually wicks instead of just the liquid sitting on top so I'll link my video down below on how fleece works if you are new to using fleece but it looks like they have everything else they need in their cage I see a water dish they have hay I see their pellets they have places to hide I like their little short loft that's really cute with the cover on it so that they can't jump out so that's really nice so overall this cage looks really good just that one tip about the fleece but good job all right guys so that is today's video I hope you enjoyed like I said keep sending me your cages and I will just put another whole video together when I have enough cages to do that make sure to like this video if you enjoyed and subscribe to my channel if you haven't already and I will see you all in my next video bye
