A softer warmer bed for my guinea pigs, we keep the A/C on 60 and I want them to be warm if they nee2007-11-24 21:57:20

I was looking at petsmart website, I was thinking more like homemade bedding. I just want them to climb under something if they want to be warm, any ideas?

Answers:

I made a cuddle cup which is basically like a fleecy bed, here is the instructions:

Here are some pictures of my cuddle cup:

Another idea is to get an igloo/castle. Make a pocket by sewing some fleece and cotton together around the edges and leave an opening on 1 side, in the opening slide the wadding in and sew the hole up. Place it inside your igloo/castle.

You can also make bunk beds, have a look through the pictures on the following site. You can click on the image to enlarge it and sometimes instructions are there too:

The following site has step by step information for making cuddle cups, cuddle sacks, fleece blankets and quilted covers.

Most importantly add lot's of hay!

some sort of "box" --- you can buy the igloo things, and put some bedding in it, but a shoe box inside the cage would work just fine.

carefresh makes a good enviro-friendly bedding, comes in different colors too

it's you that needs some extra bedding to stay warm.. How do you function in a house with a temp that low ?
