Has anyone used the chartwell hutches with their hutch covers . Are they any good in heavy rain?

...not great at visualising :doh:) The thing is they have basically always lived in the bare minimum due to area restrictions etc. Like their hutches were always 5ft and right now my two boys are in a 2x4C&C (as it is only temporary indoor living, although they have been in here since...

So just checked my guinea pigs feet and also went on Google is this Bumble foot and also how is it treated? Nor sure how it could have got this as I clean the hutch every day

Such a relief and so lovely to see a happy Betsie. We’re proceeding with caution, though. Some open-ended fabric hideys are coming tomorrow to tide them over until we feel confident that we can put the mini-hutches back in. Presumably, we can eventually put the run back as it was, though?

Welcome to the forum What is the hutch measurement ie is it a 5ft hutch, 6ft hutch etc? Upper levels does not count towards the cage size, they don’t double the floor space. Only the bottom level counts - so to be 14 square feet, their cage needs to measure 7x2ft on the single, bottom level...

...microwave? Mine was £20 from a supermarket and literally only used in winter to do the piggies heat pads! Otherwise, lots of hay in the whole hutch, hay in hides, lots of insulation on the hutches - the old duvets/sleeping bags/blankets under the waterproof hutch cover I keep my piggies in...

...in we were going to have to halve Ophelia's space anyway. We have scrubbed and scrubbed all possible wee-stains off every hard surface: the 'hutches' and the transluscent panels. The run is now divided (fleeces washed again again again). However, we have put the transluscent panels across...

You are absolutely right, double storey doesn’t double the space but with hutches they are measured, described and sold based on their single floor space length irrespective of how many floors they’ve got. Decent commercial hutches are always 60cm. Therefore, a commercially sold 6ft hutch is...

I'll see if I can get a joiner to reconfigure the hutch so that it's split in the middle with two ramps, so that they can see each other. Do you think they should be able to see each other at both levels, or just one level (leaving the top as a private space?

Is there an outside shed or garage that you could move their hutch into? I know some members have put duvets around the hutch under the waterproofing. You could make snuggly beds from small upturned cardboard boxes stuffed with hay -cardboard and hay are good insulators but you will need to...

That's a good idea, thanks so much!

...and 3/4) is now left on his own so we are planning on getting him some piggie friends to play with (although, he has been loving having the hutch all to himself). Willoughby had an injury a few months back so he can’t use one of his hind legs- he has just started to use the ramp again but...

Your new address could be The Penthouse Suite Betsy Towers The Hutch The Garage I have 3 lovely ladies waiting for you. The only fly in the ointment is you need to visit the plum fairy 🍒🧚‍♂️✂️before you can meet them.

...for guinea pigs and should be removed. You will need to make a new ramp out of something solid like wood and then cover it with something with grip (ie carpet) for the piggies to be able to use a second level of the cage. I added in our ramp guide which shows more Ramps in Cages and Hutches

...weather permits), which again doesn’t mean anything but it is a big part of their daily living. This is purely just curiosity, as this new hutch was bought a couple months ago as I had to split a boar pair, but now my single old boar has passed away so we have broken apart his hutch (it was...

Thank you! I’ll get to it whilst the other slaves watch the pair. That will be a lot of work…

...mum and 2 babies. I’ve learnt a lot over the past 8 months about piggies but the one thing that worries me is their space, they have a 14 sq ft hutch with 2 levels. They currently have floor time ( free roaming my piggie safe lounge ) for 5-6 hours a day 6 days a week, the other day they stay...

I'm in the UK, guineas live outside and always have. At what temperature do others use a snuggle safe heat pad at night? They have literally mountains of hay and a double walled sleeping area in their hutch. Please not comments from all those who have them live inside as that doesn't help 🤣

When I had a piggy with bumble foot I used vet bed and it was very good. I have a 6 ft x 2ft hutch and I cut the vet bed up into a 4ft and a 2ft piece and my washing machine coped fine with it.

Hi guys. My Guinea pigs have had this 6ft chartwell double hutch for 2 and a half years now. It is starting to rot away and become mouldy as I haven’t had chance to paint and treat the wood. The rain seems to be seeping through. I have tried to mould spray it also. My Guinea pigs are inside at...
