The piece of wood worked. Saxon stayed back in the hutch. It frightened off Bramble and she ran quickly in the opposite direction and Misty wasn't sure so she was cautious. Nothing and I mean NOTHING comes between Saxon and FOOOOOOOD! He stayed about an inch away from the wood looking a bit...

Ok. Yes so as I have said, hutches won’t allow side by side living so it’s another reason why you have to bond them quickly.

I don’t really want to keep them indoors I prefer keeping them outdoors or in the winter in my garage . I only have limited space in my house or garden

Hi, Taking delivery of a some new hutches tomorrow I’ve had specially made and I want to preserve the floor from wee and to put down some waterproofing material to put their shavings on top of. One of my piggies in particular is terrible for trying to eat anything in sight (bags, puppy pads...

Cuddled, combed and gave piggies coriander Gave piggies breakfast Cleaned out hutch

...doors so I can open the external doors and still have the shed secure with the internal mesh doors. Yes you absolutely can. Definitely put a hutch in there! I had* a 6ft hutch and then had c&c grids coming off the front so I could just open the hutch door and allow them to come out to play...

Yes that is another issue If they don’t and you have to get a pair; then you would have to make sure you hutch is big enough for three - that is a 6ft hutch or 180x60cm

...to send them to a rescue shelter for their bonding and then after the days/weeks it takes to get them settled bring them home to hopefully the hutch or if not a new c&c if it gets too late in the year for outside to be suitable for the new one. Of the hides I've currently got one is a wooden...

She’s been out for about a couple of hours I’ve just been out to put her back in her hutch

No, not if it is warm and dry

This morning while I was giving Bramble her morning cuddle, Saxon had a fit of the zoomies. He was in the hutch so he couldn't zoomie as much as he wanted so he had a fit of the popcorns instead! It's lovely to know he's happy to be home after his stay with Aunty Lilli last week.

Hi, I am having a double 8ft x 2ft hutch built and I’m looking for a cover for it (one of those insulated ones with the silver foil doesn’t need rainproof as not outside). They keep it nice and cool in the shed in summer and warm in winter. However no company seems to make them that big. 6ft is...

Ramps in hutches are usually too steep for guinea pigs and have to be modified to make them suitable. The gradient usually needs to be reduced by putting a brick or such like underneath to make it more shallow. Wooden ramps also need to have the grip improved to make them easier for piggies to...

...if a bonding failed but they could not live like that for more than a couple of days. it is pretty impossible to keep single piggies in hutches - two hutches cannot be positioned properly and fully to allow total side by side living and constant interaction between mesh bars. The will not...

I’m not sure if my hutch would be big enough for tango and a netured male. It’s just big enough for 2 females x

...the overall floor space but it actually wouldn’t do that. It is just a single exit hide, not a safe living space so adding it onto the hutch (as it is sold) won’t make the whole thing more suitable. Even if the OP made the modifications proposed (which would only have been able to be a...

Unfortunately, Hutches don’t work at all well for separated piggies. Due to the solid sides of a hutch, there is no easy way to position them to allow the piggies to constantly be able to see each other and fully interact between bars. Once hutch covers go on it further means they will lose...

...stages. It is absolutely vital that you don’t rush this stage. As any new territory means a new round of dominance, if you move them to the hutch too soon then you cause that round of dominance before they are settled enough to handle it. So be prepared that you may not be able to move...

The hutch size needed for a neutered boar/sow pair is exactly the same as what is needed for two sows - 5ft. It’s only two boars together who need a bigger hutch size (they need 6ft) You can try to get a neutered boar for her, but as with any bond, they still have to be compatible and she...

...natural climbers - they can learn how to use a ramp but it can also be found that older piggies stop wanting to use them even if they used them in their younger years). Hopefully they will enjoy having the freedom to choose to come out! Let us know how things go! Ramps in Cages and Hutches
