[Gpdd] [CARE] Cage Location

[Aurae]

First of all, thanks to everyone for their 
input on my question involving neutering 
and its effects on impaction.  I really 
would never neuter a guinea pig, as I don't 
think it would be safe because there 
doesn't seem to be a guinea pig "specialist" 
in my area, but I wanted to see how true 
that piece of information was.

I am finally getting my guinea pig this 
weekend, and I've been trying to get his 
place all set up ahead of time, but I've 
come across a bit of a predicament.  I 
don't necessarily have a single spot his 
cage could go--I have more things than I 
have place for, and I don't want to put 
the cage on the floor because it gets 
very drafty in my room.  (The guinea pig 
has to stay in my room; not only does my 
mother forbid his cage from being located 
anywhere else, I really don't feel 
comfortable leaving him where my younger 
brother could be near him while I'm not 
home.  He's not young, but he can be 
rather destructive, and I don't want 
anything to happen to Napoleon.)  I never 
had this problem when I had Beethoven, 
because that was before I acquired books 
and a collection, so although Beethoven's 
cage was kept on the bookshelf, that area 
is now occupied because I have nowhere 
else to place these things.

Do you think moving the guinea pig's cage 
around every so often whenever there is 
an open space to place it would cause him 
undue stress?

P.T.O. - Lauren: No, I'm not named after 
the Land Before Time character--it's more 
of a nickname.  I really don't know why, 
perhaps I am duck-like in some way?  n_n;;
