What Size to Get

The Humane Society has recommendations for how much space to provide for your guinea pig, and we’ve compiled that information into a simple size chart so you can decide which size is best for you.

What Size to Get

Number of guinea pigs

Recommended amount of space

10.5 ft2

2x4 (Guinea pigs are social, so it’s best to have two piggies for companionship!)

10.5 ft2

13 ft2

2x5

16 ft2

2x6

Of course, the more space the better! More space allows more room for guinea pigs to roam around and be active, and that encourages more zoomies. Keeping your guinea pigs active keeps them happy and healthy!
