Guinea pig holiday pen - seems a good buy

[alisont]

After looking for a while for suitable flat pack type accomodation options for taking Artie my elderly guinea pig on his holiday at Easter with us I decided to get a fold down puppy play pen from Ebay.

Ordered on Wed night and it arrived today, I am impresed with quality and ease of use.

Artie went in it to have a look and will spend time each evening in it so he gets use to it before his vacation.

He seemed to like his initial visit - straight to the food and he had a wash and a kip - sure signs he feels happy.

The pen folds flat in a bag that will easily fit in the car and Artie will travel in a smaller carry bag that he can be taken out of the car for any cafe stops on route.

I got one of these:



It will be nice not to be crammed in the back with a cage digging in my side

awww cutie Artie
It looks really nice, I love his fleece too x

Thanks he really seems to like it. Seems ideal for travel - hope it fits in my room on holiday.

Think the fleece was Dunelm Mill? The cozy beds are made by a lady from the guinea forum - he loves them and spends most of his time in them

I shall need to get another fleece soon as a friend is going to make me some more beds/bags.

Hey, do u think this would be suitable for syrian hamsters? I'm looking for a play pen to put on my double bed. I'm always chasing the hams as they dive off the bed. I've tried a cardboard box with the top & bottom cut out but they push under it. I want something I can put their toys in & know their safe.

I would think a ham would have chewed out in 5 seconds flat, try a box without the bottom cut out, that's what we use or search playpen at the top - lots of good ideas about

That pen is really good! And Artie looks just like my past guinea Harold (still miss him lots)

Awww, Artie is lovely Glad you are sharing your great find with us - and I know what it's like to have a cage digging into your side for an entrie journey too. Not fun, lol.

Artie is a little star! Very placid friendly chap. Was from Walsall RSPCA - vets think he is anything from 5 age wise but I'll never know!

Hamsters I agree would be out in no time very easy escape routes I'm afraid.

This will be great to pack in the car and Artie will travel in a small travel holdall type pet carrier - will I feel be best as he likes to stay asleep in his cosy sleeping sack and he is not a guinea who gets all soggy so will be good.

Will I'm sure get lots of guinea on holiday pictures to share
