Well they all survived the first night together in the hutch. This morning Thea was in her hay tray as usual and the other two were in the hay tray at the other end of the hutch. Misty and Bramble are still a bit timid of being in the hutch but that's to be expected as they have only had one...

Firstly unable to have the piggies in the house. My two boys are now good friends now housed on one level in hutch. Now it is colder it is hard to play with the piggies so have brought a 6ft by 4ft playhouse with windows and going to use that and not the hutch ( a lady at work has her piggies...

Hi and welcome Yes, this unfortunately looks like bumblefoot (pododermatitis). Please see a vet as soon as you can after the weekend. @Viennese Furbabies and other members with personal experience may be able to help you with practical advice for managing the daily care at home and any of...

At Thea's grand old age that would be very unsettling for her. So she needs to stay in The Penthouse Suite Betsy Towers The Hutch The Garage

...they seemed to appreciate. It's been a difficult few days, I feel emotionally drained. The rest of the pigs are in mourning. I've taken Po's hutch extension off and added the door back onto the bottom portion of the double hutch. I know sometime in the near future I'm likely to add this...

My 5 year old boar now lives alone in the bottom half of a bluebell hutch and my 5 month old boar and baby friend now live a couple ft across from the bluebell together. I was going to do timeshare in a run but it felt a bit impractical and I was really full of anxiety that my old boar was...

Just gone into the garage to check on the piggies and there was Thea fast asleep with her eyes closed in the corner of the hutch. By the time I'd got the camera out she'd scarpered!

No, minimum is 4ft x 2ft. A 7ft hutch also isn’t big enough, you need an 8ft hutch (which would be a custom made item) The only way a 6ft hutch can work is as I suggested - with it split in half and extended out the front with grids

Hi I recently had a buy a bigger hutch because I went from 2 to 3 guinea pigs, we built it up and put them all in it yesterday. My older girl looks really sad about this and kept herself to herself she's gone off her food and only having a nibble here and there. Is this normal for her to be sad?

It really comes down to how much of an issue it is for you. They would be just as likely to chew chunks out of the wood instead. My piggies pretty much redesigned parts of their hutch by chewing it!

...when I was a child - I have no idea how ours survived for years in the Scottish Borders outdoors (or in a stable) with a smaller hutch, no heat pads, and no syringe feeding etc. Maybe they bred them tougher then. He's had a good drink from the syringe, and i found he had eaten a spinach...

Welcome Chartwell single storey hutches are what I would recommend, but you should consult a recur before buying anything to ensure they agree with the housing. Double hutches are fine but piggies need their space to be big enough on a single level (they aren’t natural climbers), so you...

Hi there I was wondering if anyone has this and if it's any good? Itlookslike the chartwell but assuming it's different ? The Malling 5ft modular Single Deluxe hutch

I used to keep my piggy in a hutch. In the mornings, he used to chew the metal cage on the doors and once even broke a tooth doing it. If you are considering purchasing a hutch, I would recommend fixing some fine mesh on the inside of the doors to prevent them from damaging their teeth. This...

...be enough to snuggle into but it should not be so solid that your piggies cannot move around. It's the same principle that is also used in hutches. The box also acts as another draft excluder that holds warmth in. Some tips for hutch and garage set-ups can also be made to work for indoors...

To add to this, the boys are currently split up in time out, one in the outdoor hutch, the other in a soft pop up pen next to it. I needed to stop them hurting each other anymore than they already have.

...just had a few questions about where to get the guineas from and the herd size. i have a very large cage (4square metres) with a double-story hutch and a smaller triangle hutch too. so with a cage that size how many guinea pigs could live happily, I'm giving myself an absolute maximum of 6...

...been a bit more high energy. That said - I haven’t specifically been looking for signs of depression so I will keep a close eye out. In their hutch, they share food and a bed area happily. They’ve got individual beds next to each other which they ignore, and are usually to be found next to...

...and then You need two of everything - two hides and both hides must have two doors in them, two bottles. Scatter feed veg and pellets (ie don’t use bowls) so they can forage which is great mental stimulation but also it stops the risk of any food hogging. Make sure hay is everywhere in the...
