Your guinea pig shares your home with you, and you want her enclosure to be just as clean as the rest of your home. How can you make this happen?

It’s important to understand that your pet will make messes on a daily basis so you will need to tend to her cage on a daily basis as well. Make sure you are able to spot clean areas that need it, like where she eats and eliminates, since these can get dirty rather quickly. Your pet will also need you to clean everything out more thoroughly on a regular basis. This means replacing items that can’t be sanitized, like her bedding material, with new versions of the same and washing all the rest in warm soapy water, then reassembling everything once it’s been rinsed and had time to dry. For more information, please contact your local Fort Collins, CO veterinarian.
