Ferplast guinea pig cages, hutches and the parts that go with them: the Cavie 80 with its opening door, the open-topped Multipla Open, the Casita 80, 100 and 120H hutches, Rabbit 100 and Rabbit 120, the Multipla modular habitats, and the Stand 80 metal stand. Several models are sold for rabbits and guinea pigs together, which is reasonable — both are ground-dwelling grazers — but the way you size a cage for a cavy is not the way you size one for a rabbit.

Floor space is the number that matters

Guinea pigs do not climb, jump or use vertical space the way a rat or a rabbit does. A second storey is close to wasted on them, and ramps can be awkward for a heavy-bodied animal with short legs. What they use is uninterrupted floor: a long run they can sprint down, with room for a hideout at each end. That is why the larger footprints — Casita 120H, Rabbit 120, Multipla Maxi and the Multipla Base Extension — do more for a cavy than a taller cage of the same price. Guinea pigs are also herd animals and are usually kept in pairs or trios, so size the cage for the number you actually have, not the one you started with.

Open tops, solid floors and stands

Because they cannot climb out, guinea pigs can live in an open-topped enclosure indoors, which makes daily cleaning and lifting them out considerably easier — that is the case for the Multipla Open Modular Open Cage. If the cage shares a house with a dog or cat, or sits outdoors, a closed top such as the Casita is the safer choice. Either way you want a solid base rather than a wire floor, since guinea pig feet do badly on mesh. The Ferplast Stand 80 Rodent Cage Metal Stand lifts a cage off a cold floor and brings it to a height where you can reach in without stooping, which in practice means the cage gets cleaned more often.

What is on this page

Everything on this page is Ferplast. Guinea-pig-specific models are the Cavie 80 and the Multipla Open; the rest are shared rabbit-and-guinea-pig habitats and the modular base and roof extensions that fit them.
