An idea for an inexpensive guinea pig carrier...

Today I made a carrier for my pet Guinea Pig using a few things I had lying around. I took a small cardboard box (Guinea Pig-sized), and lined it with a heavy-duty plastic material I had left over (be sure it isn't something that could cause suffocation). I also covered the outside of the box with the material, just to be on the safe side. I put bedding in the bottom of the box. Then, I slipped the box into a messenger-style bag that I could carry when traveling with my Guinea Pig. The bag I used even has compartments for carrying food, water, and other essentials along. It was cheaper, more user-friendly, and more fun than any of the carriers I found in the store...and my pet loves it!

I often use shoe boxes for short trips, lined with towels or bedding. But when I have to take a pig to the vet, I generally use a regular cat carrier with a towel in the bottom. Especially if I'm going to have to leave the pet there for awhile for a surgery or something.

Hi Gobbledygoos23. I'm not bashing your post or anything but where do you go with your guinea pig? My kids have 2 but we don't take them out anywhere unless they need to see the vet. Then we just use the pet carrier.
