I am getting a Guinie Pig too! I am rescueing mine from a group around here. My mom said as long as it is within 3 hours (one way) of driving we can go there and look at them. I am going to wiat till Chewy (my puppy) gets to be 1 or so so that I don't have a new guinie pig and a puppy at the same time. Also that way I can use Chewy's pen as a fun place for him to roam outside (supervised) in! My friend is also letting beuy a 3 story cat cage from her for real cheap (20.00). She made it to fit a bunny I just need to do some remodling! I would put a water bottle on both floors if you can. That way which ever floor they are on they can get a drink! When you get the piggie take pictures so we can see him or her!
