GuineaQueen® beds are designed to comfortably fit guinea pigs of all sizes. The dimensions are specifically chosen to provide ample space for your guinea pig to rest, sleep, and lounge without feeling cramped. Please check the product specifications for exact measurements.

The GuineaQueen® bed is ideally sized for one guinea pig to ensure it has plenty of room to stretch out and relax. However, we understand that some guinea pigs enjoy the companionship and warmth of snuggling together. In such cases, two guinea pigs that are accustomed to each other and like to snuggle can fit into the bed comfortably. It’s important to monitor your guinea pigs to ensure they are both comfortable and happy sharing the space.

The primary difference lies in their intended use and design. GuineaQueen® hideys are enclosed spaces that provide privacy and security, mimicking a burrow-like environment for your guinea pig to retreat into. On the other hand, our beds are open, offering a soft, comfortable space for sleeping and lounging without the cover. Both are essential for your guinea pig’s well-being, catering to their natural behaviors and needs.

The lounge pad is a feature of the GuineaQueen® bed, designed for comfort, allowing your guinea pig a soft surface to lounge on either inside the bed or as a standalone pad. It differs from a pee pad in its purpose and design; the lounge pad is for comfort and not intended for absorbing waste. Pee pads are specifically designed to absorb urine and moisture, preventing it from spreading and keeping the area dry. The lounge pad focuses on providing a plush, cozy area for your pet to relax and is not equipped with absorbent or waterproof features.

The free lounge pad provides an extra layer of comfort and warmth for your guinea pig. It’s perfect for use inside the bed for additional padding or outside the bed as a separate lounging spot. The versatility of the lounge pad ensures your pet always has a cozy place to relax.

The decision to not make the lounge pad waterproof is intentional, aimed at promoting a healthier environment for your guinea pig. Waterproof materials could prevent urine from passing through, causing the guinea pig to lay in wetness, which is uncomfortable and can lead to health issues. Instead, the design allows urine to pass through to a liner or pee pad placed underneath, ensuring the bed remains a dry, comfortable place for your pet to sleep and relax. This approach keeps the sleeping area clean and dry, as the urine is absorbed by the underlying layer, away from where your guinea pig rests.

Yes, additional and replacement lounge pads are available for purchase. This allows you to always have a clean one on hand or replace one that has become worn over time, ensuring your guinea pig’s environment remains comfortable and hygienic.

While the bed is made of durable materials, we recommend using it indoors or in a covered outdoor area to protect it from the elements and ensure it lasts longer.

Yes, both the bed and the lounge pad are machine washable. We recommend washing them on a gentle cycle with normal detergent and without softener, and air drying to maintain their shape and softness.

GuineaQueen® beds are lovingly crafted from soft fleece and cushioned with batting for ultimate comfort. While these materials provide a cozy resting place for your guinea pig, please note they are not chew-proof. We suggest providing plenty of chew toys and monitoring your guinea pig to prevent damage to the bed. Regularly check the bed for any damage and replace as necessary to ensure your pet’s safety.
