Please help me with my questionaire for school!

Hi, I'm doing a school project on building a guinea pig cage, and I wondered if any of you guys could help me.
I have a questionnaire/survey about guinea pigs and their owners, and if anyone is willing to reply that would be great! There are only 10 questions. Thank you!
1) how old are you? 5-13 / 14-16 / 17-25 / 26-40 / 41+ (just select your category please)

2) are you male or female?
(this bit is just so I can find out more about my target 'market'- the people most likely to have guinea pigs!)
3) Would you describe your guinea pig as a family pet? (is it owned by more than one person or by under 12s?)

4)How many guinea pigs do you own? 1-3 / 4-7 / 8-14 / 15+

5)Where do you keep them? Indoors / outdoors / combined

6)in which form of housing? hutch / cage / run / other...(please state)

7)have you ever bought any novelty items for your guinea pigs?(eg balls/toys)

8)would you describe the average guinea pigs environment as boring, uninspiring or monotonous?

9)would you consider breeding your guinea pigs if possible?

10)what is the maximum price you would expect to pay for a new, exciting, stimulating home for your guinea pigs?
Thank you very much - Sophie

1) 17-25

2) female

3) yes, but no children in the house

4) 4-7

5) Indoors

6) cage, built by me (not store bought)

7) yes, stuffed animals

8) no

9) no

10) I build mine myself with grids ($15) and coroplast ($30/sheet).

I hope this helps.

1. I am 26-40
2. Female
3. Yes, one is owned by my nine year old, the others are all mine.
4. 8-14
5. indoors
6. homemade built cages
7. Toys, treats, beds, snuggle sacks ect.
8. No. My guinea pigs have tons of things to do in their cages
9. No
10. I build mine myself with grids, and plexiglass. I find plexiglass much easier to keep sanitized than coroplast. That's just my opinion though.

[Lady Chutterly]

1) 41+

2) female?

3) yes, but there is definitely MY pig and the kids' pig

4) just two so far

5) indoors, but they have their own patio garden

6) C&C cage

7) I'm not sure there's a toy they haven't had. I spoil them rotten, just like my kids

8) all that and more

9) not a chance

10) Between the imaginations of myself and my friends, we are able to keep the piggies happy and very stimulated at almost no cost, so I'm going to say $15

4) 3

5) Indoors

6) Cage ( C&C)

7) Yes

8) Average, yes, but most of us do not have average environments

9) No

10) C&C was about $40 I have paid much more for a lot less before I learned about C&C cages

It is very interesting to read other peoples replies!

[applelady]

1. 26-40

2. Female

3. Yes

4. 1-3

5. Indoors, but plan to take them outside for short periods of time while I am with them come Spring. (Piggy play pen)

6. C&C that we made ourselves.

7. Yes, chew sticks, pigloo, and the normal food and supplies, will probably buy more when we get another pig.

8. Never!

9. Not in a million.

10. I build my own as well. You can't get any more stimulating than what you come up with on your own based on your own pigs' personalities/likes and dislikes.

I hope you do well on your school project, and I hope we were helpful.
