Hi there! One of my piggies, Minnie, has been plagued by some health problem nearly her whole life :(( For the past 6 months or so, she's had slowly growing bald patches over her body. I've just moved them to my new residence, where the vets actually seem to know what they're doing with guinea...

Well it rarely snows, i hasn't snowed since 2012. Also your from cambridge, so the north. So of course it snows more in your area. I don't count indoor as the home. Thats like not counting your garden as part of your house which wouldn't make sense. I've always viewed inside bits as their...

if you can pick a time when the night is as warm as it is going to be in the week, give several snugglesafes, loads of hay etc. have you got everything you need for them to be outdoor piggies - the hutch and thermal hutch cover, snugglesafes etc ?

I've been reading these forums for the past 6 months... lots of great content, lots of different opinions :-). I have been looking for the best setup for our 2 boars who will be housed outside over the winter. They are 12 months old and have been enjoying the freedom of our garden for the last 6...

As I'm going to be moving my guinea pigs into an outdoors hutch very soon, I've been thinking about what to use to keep them warm and snug (of course an insulator will also be on the hutch and sawdust/woodshavings as usual). I've previously used straw for all my 4 previous guinea pigs. I know...

she’s an indoor piggy and it’s nice and warm in my bedroom! i’ll book another visit with my vet, and hopefully they figure out what’s going on! thanks for your help :)

i have both indoor and outdoor piggies,due to a large number of piggies,both have pros and cons.outdoor piggies need more maintanance,but i love having piggies outside in the spring and summer.I spend time in the garden when it is warm,easier to place in the runs.i have today just bought one...

When we planned to get guinea pigs I also initially planned to keep them outdoors. We spent a lot of money on a very substantial and insulated hutch, but they came home early and never made it outside. We do however have our rabbits outside in a covered hutch, and what I would say is that do...

Hello! I was looking for a bit of advice when I take my guinea pigs outdoors. Their cage is indoors but I have a run for them in the back garden. While the weathers warm I like to put the run in a shady part of the garden and sit outside with them while they have a run around and eat the grass...

Piggies are most comfortable in temperatures around 18-20 degrees but provided they are kept draught and damp free and as warm as possible inside a hutch then it is possible to keep them outside year round, it just takes a lot of work and preparation. You will need a very substantial hutch -...

I can only agree with you. I absolutely love my skinny pigs Dora and Ginger but goodness they are hard work. From all the extra poop to having to put a sun shade over their outdoor run. The 'no touching the bare skin' and almost constant wheeking for food. I'm not trying to put you off having...

I only got the temperature in the piggy lounge down to 22 C (lack of air movement) and the next night will be even hotter with the bricks soaking up even more sunshine... But the piggies will adapt to the gradually building up warmth from day to day. You will hopefully find that the sheet makes...

Well I’ve heard a lot of enclosed pet store hutches are way to small anyways. That why I didn’t get my hutch from a pet store. Anyways dark as in night is temporary as they just use it for resting & eating overnight and as I said they have no issue with it. They seem happy with it. For rabbits...

Hi! Make sure that the ground is warm and dry to your own naked feet for 5 minutes. Guinea pigs are a lot closer to it! We are still having freezing and frosty nights at the moment. How warm the ground is, is much more important than the air temperature as you can prevent respiratory and...

Hi. We built an insulated piggie shed for then two pairs. One pair just didn't settle and I gave in and brought them back in. On the other hand, the second pair preferred to be in the shed. But since this winter is already starting to be colder than usual, with lots of nights of freezing...

My boys love to scent their freshly washed fleeces (why do I bother) so that can pong a bit occasionally, but generally they’re not too smelly and fresh hay has a lovely scent. There are lots of products these days for people who keep their guinea pigs outside. Snuggle safe pads can be slipped...

Right that makes much more sense if she saw how freaked you are by this situation she might have just been trying to make you feel better. Although it actually seems to have made you feel worse. I'm looking at that photo and thinking, "Some sort of standard fur mite - not to much of a bother for...

Thank you! Do you think outside piggies tend to be more timid, as they are not used to people being around all the time? I can either rescue them and have them in my office and then just pop them out in the run and a hidden house with shade, when it is warm. Or, I could look to home them...

Warm fur and hay 😍😍😍. I love that.

:wel: Firstly your boys are gorgeous and it is lovely to have you here. A good place to start is with our new owner guides New Owners' Most Helpful How-To Guides and Information Were the boys outside when you got them? If they are already used to being outside then they should probabably be...
