...get electric out there).
I have a stable door with internal mesh door so it can be opened for ventilation.
I have previously kept them in hutches in the shed as it is much easier to keep them warm in a hutch with blankets than just loose in an unheated shed. However they are now loose (well...
...a plan in mind for if the bonding fails and the two piggies cannot share a cage - that is two separate cages which must be side by side (so hutches one up/ one down won’t work).
A bonding is a specific process where the piggies are put on neutral territory (you cannot just add a new piggy...
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?
...actually seems more grass than weeds (daisies) still, so have got a run and will put them there so at least they can have some time out.
I thought a run would be better than hutch in warm weather as long as there is shade due ti better airflow I presume.
We will bring them in when it gets...
Thank for your reply. This is their hutch and run, meant to include picture first time
The boys are about 18 weeks, we got them from a local rescue centre.. they'd originally been purchased from pets at home and the family turned out to be allergic so they were given to the rescue. They're shy...
They ware wooden and kettle hutches the vet visit wasn’t to do with his ears it was the other Guinea Pig one of them keep swaying the back end side to side looking across into the other cage where my other 2 guinea pigs are he seems stressed out
...nasty little maggot while sweeping poos the other day and it worried me! Here's or setup and routine:
Max and Reggie 1 year old pair have a 6ft hutch and access to a run with a little tree for shade, and a sunshade for hot times of day. We shut them in their hutch when we're not around to...
We've decided to upgrade the boys from the Pets at Home Bluebell XL to the 6ft Chartwell Double Hutch. Do the Chartwell hutches come flat packed for self assembly? Can't see any information on this on the site we bought it from. As their hutch is inside a walk in run to protect from weather, we...
Does anyone have any hutch building tips. Every cage/hutch i’ve owned until now has been homemade or second hand so I have never actually made one up.
Is there a knack to it? Maybe a place best to start from. I don’t have anything on tomorrow so I hope to get it all set up for Saturday (if i’m...
Hello, we are new to guinea pigs! We bought a hutch and run in advance of adopting our trio, which the RSPCA was happy with. It is inside in a big shed. But in the few days that we have had everything set up we have discovered that getting access to the hutch with a big run in front of it, is...
I don’t know what you mean by a wooden and kettle hutch.
What was wrong with the other guinea pig?
The swaying is the back end (you may also see him shifting his weight from side to side) is called rumblestrutting. It’s a perfectly normal dominance behaviour, nothing to be concerned about.
...some changes to my piggies current housing, they currently live in a shed which I'm hoping to keep doing but I may need to move them into a hutch. If that's the case can anyone recommend what size hutch I should be looking for and wheres good to get one from? I have 3 piggies, two females and...

There is no need to use such sprays. Keep up with daily hutch maintenance of removing poops and wet hay and bedding - even go to twice daily during summer - and make sure to check piggy bottoms once or twice a day.
I have never used any bug sprays in over three decades of outdoor small...
The other Guinea Pig went to the vets because he had a grass seed stuck behind his eyelid which caused an ulcer
It’s meant to say a wooden and metal hutch
The one doing all the swaying is ghost and gizmo was the one that used to be like the boss dominant one until he came home from the vets
