They have been together for about 10months now, one is 2 years the other is 1 year. They have multiples of everything, they have a large chicken coop run roughly 2x2 but also outdoor space alday, they are only shut in at nighttime in the run so like I say lots of room. They have never had a...

I’ve never done the scent swapping either. Definitely the hides were a problem. Can you rebond tomorrow in a larger room/enclosure? I’ve used a bathroom before and also an outdoor run in the living room. I’m not sure what the guides say about rebonding. I’ve not had to try again. And also...

How stupid I was (brain fog). We could use our very large outdoor run inside. Should we totally separate them- Betsie in the cage, Ophelia back upstairs, or leave them with a grid? I’m worried about separating them totally as, for them, it means starting all over again - rebonding, as you say...

i have a 2 tier wooden outdoor cage and a wire mesh run on the lawn sure here is pics of my piggies

My girls live on fleece in a C&C cage in our conservatory for most of the year. It does have central heating, but it’s quite rubbish! I monitor the temperature with a digital thermometer. This is what we do. Spring and Autumn: Mostly they’re just fine as they are. If we have a night that’s...

I’ll add in some guides that can answer all of your questions. I personally would recommend you get a strong wooden and mesh run. You can buy folding wooden runs that make for easy storage over winter (they don’t fold with the lid screwed on though). The wire runs that peg down tend to be...

Hi! A plastic outdoor run can be a great choice for durability. I recommend looking into brands like Omlet or Petsfit, which are known for their sturdy and weather-resistant designs. They offer various sizes and features to suit your needs!

Hi guys, We’ve had our little girls for almost three weeks now. They were around 18 weeks old as as far as we know have been indoors their whole lives. They were very nervous when we got them but have come on leaps and bounds. They now come out squeaking when we go into the room where their...

Thank you both! Hopefully lots of encouragement to exercise and a proper diet should sort them out then🤞

My skinnies seem to cope with the warm weather better than their haired friends. If it's really hot I have put wrapped ice blocks in their cage but they have generally been ignored. However, if they are outdoors remember that they will get sunburned easily. I always make sure that their run is...

Hi there! My piggies live in an outdoor hutch most of the year, and with the outdoors comes insects. When I first bought my guinea pigs, the breeder gave me a bug spray for the hutch to keep the nasties out. Recently I have run out of this spray (I have to give the hutch a spray down every few...

Yes it's 6 female piggies and yes they all live together they are sisters, yeah we know we are going tomorrow to get some PVC drainage piping to link the cage to the run that is on the lawn that they will have access to we also plan on building a much bigger cage to house them in the one they...

Thank you all for your lovely messages. As hard as it is, it was the best way for it to happen. We were there for a while last night and then we left them in peace. Ophelia licked Bianca while she was still alive and Ophelia enjoyed a rose head after we buried Bianca. She likely misses her but...

Hi there, thanks for the reply! Oh no! That's a bummer :( Thanks for letting me know. It was given to us so I just assumed by its size it would be more than big enough! The entire downstairs area is approx 150x60 (only slightly smaller than the 180x60). If I get some wood cut and boxed-in the...

Did they ask if you had an outside run? They wouldn’t let me bond my boy when he was bereaved over the Summer because our outdoor run is not six foot. The piggies live indoors in a 5x2 and have a run for occasional use!

I’m having trouble with my sweet boars Oliver (5 months) and Nutmeg (4 months). They have been living together outdoors for the last couple of months completely fine until last weekend. Oliver has now started chasing Nutmeg around the hutch and out into the run and back inside again (they have...

Perfect. Think I will invest in the HopInn ones, they look cosier to me. Could I put fleece around top/sides of those as well for extra insulation? Weve stopped putting the boys out for exercise in the outdoor run now it’s getting cold. We don’t space for a permanent indoor setup unfortunately...

Just so I'm clear on this: you're saying they shouldn't have unfettered access to the outdoor space because of the temperature, or because of other reasons as well? And what if it's been raining in summer?

My guinea pigs have ringworm. In their indoor cage they had an omlet pig house each which they loved. However I hated them because they have a rim all around the bottom inside that would get pooed and weed all over. They took ages to clean and even then it didnt matter how much I scrubbed the...

...all bonds meaning it’s not always possible to make two pairs out of a failed quartet. I’m afraid as outdoor piggies that won’t work. Outdoor runs can’t count towards living space because they shouldn’t have constant access to them. Piggies do need to be locked into a suitably sized predator...
