Review on 🐹 Kaytee Super Sleeper Cuddle-E-Cup with Bag - Various Colors, 10 Inches Length x 12 Inches Width x 5.5 Inches Height by Tricia Anderson

Sparky likes this cozy mug as the second best meeting point in his house or tunnel. And guinea pigs like to change furniture and furnishings frequently (evidence of this is their excited "squeaks" accompanied by leaps, which pet owners refer to as "eating popcorn"). In addition, an open area like a cup forces the animal to overcome some of its instinctive fear of humans. In fact, you can easily teach these animals to show behavioral traits in response to the owner's command. For a week, I simply refused to let go of Sparky — whether I put him back in his cage or on the kitchen floor — until he stopped twitching and squirming in my arms as soon as he was within a foot of his desired destination . A week has passed and now he is as calm, quiet and obedient as the usher as he approaches the landing site and hears the "shut up" command from me. Though he has his feet on the ground, he patiently waits to be freed before continuing on. There are two caveats to this article - one minor, the other major: 1. Your little creature will often reach out for his Cuddle-E cup - not to sleep in, but underneath. (So much for encouragement to get out of his snail shell.) 2. If you use shredded paper bedding, which many owners (including this one) prefer to braid, scraps of paper will cling and be embedded in the faux fur used for the animal's sleeping quarters. My wife wasted no time in bringing this problem to my attention. Throwing the mug in the washing machine will NOT remove the large amount of paper stuck in the fluffy material. You can spend 30 minutes trying to pick them out with your hands, but the problem is still not solved as some of the scraps of paper were washed off and got stuck in the washing machine filters. Soon particles will appear on clothes, and soon the washing machine motor will simply burn out. If you use paper wash, look for a mug without fur. Or just give up the cup. Your pet will be just as comfortable lying on their paper bed.
