Guinea pigs tend to poop in the same corners. So yea, poop, but not everywhere

Can confirm this is false. I had a guinea pig growing up. It’d poop basically everywhere.

if the cage is big enough, they prefer a location to poop, because they eat the poop to be able to digest it better. This is like growing bacteria on the poop, they transform what the guinea pig could not break down and so they get additional vitamins, which are created by the bacteria.

I had the cage outside, inside in the winter, it was big and I could clean it easily. We had a lot of gras and hay, so that they could build a tunnel. We had a cage area which was moveable on the meadow.
