Guinea Pig Floor Time

Guinea pigs are curious little animals and love to explore. They really seem to enjoy floor time, which began with a portable cage that was maybe 8 feet wide that folded up. It gave them a chance to run around more than their tiny cage at the time really allowed them to do.

Eventually we managed to block off areas that they could get into and get stuck in and just let them explore either the kitchen, which was easier to clean up, or even the entire downstairs every so often. As soon as their feet touched the floor, they started popcorning.

They’d find the funniest places where they thought they’d be hiding. We’d let them roam around, exploring and sniffing everything, until they seemed to want to find some place to hide or if we had to do something else. At the time we had a couch with recliners. We also had a recliner that we really didn’t want them to get themselves stuck in the mechanism and get stuck in. We also had no way to block them from getting underneath it, so we could only let them on the floor when we were able to watch them closely.

if you have ever seen a guinea pig having floor time you would know that they love to explore every area they can. They are very curious animals.

They also seem to love to run laps when they have the open space to do so. Ours had the space in their large cage but they enjoyed it on the floor too!
