I regularly visit the zoo in Budapest. The management has changed the old cages in the past years, and new, modern and spaceous runs have been built, all of which consider the wellbeing of the animals. One of the latest is the "Cavy City": a huge run for cavies. I am not really for keeping pets in zoos usually, but this run is big and has lots of hiding places. There is a reasonable number of animals housed here, not a huge mass. On our visit, we could see that many different foods are offered to the cavies: vegetables, fruits, hay and greed corn. They had dringing water available at several places. There is a big indoor run, too, and the cavies can go in and out as they wish.
In fact, there are two runs: one for cavies and one for cuyes.
Some of the cuyes:
