Guinea Pig Hiding Place

Regular cage (hutch) cleaning will keep your cavy healthier.

If not cleaning the cage frequently, urine can break down into ammonia which could be harmful to your pet's respiratory system.

If not cleaning the cage frequently, your pet can contract urinary tract infections (URI) because of the harmful bacterial growth.

Healthy guinea pig has minerals like calcium compounds in the urine. These compounds are deposited on the cage floor and are difficult to remove.

! Guinea Pig Cage Cleaning Instructions:

  1. Remove the guinea pig(s) from cage.
  2. Remove bedding materials.
  3. Rinse the cage with warm water and soap.
  4. Scrub the cage floor.
  5. IF THERE ARE HARD CALCIUM DEPOSITS: Pour vinegar or citric acid on the calcium deposits. Leave it for several minutes. This will cause a release of gas as the acid dissolves mineral deposits through a chemical reaction. Repeat if necessary, but deposits should come off easily.
  6. Rinse thoroughly with clean warm water to remove all remaining soap/vinegar/acids.
  7. Dry the guinea pig cage (hutch).
