There are quite a lot of outdoor wooden and wire runs for sale. They need shade so some solid roof can help, but make sure the rain can drain, otherwise towels/fleece weighted down work too. Some are made to fold up so you can store them in the winter more easily

Hi - I posted the other day about our new boar guinea pigs. Well, we watched them for a few days and their behaviour became increasingly aggressive, and one got a cut cheek. So now they are separated: they had a big outdoor run so I've split this in half with chicken wire, and we have a...

The trio I think would not like to be near Thor and may then snipe at each other. We could potentially make it so Thor lives near the girls without mixing but they are outdoors and he is indoors so I worry about that change for him too. He is currently in the garden nearby the girls (they are...

We've got a run ready for our girls for (supervised) use in the better weather. Any suggestions as to what hideys would work well outside - or I guess we could just lift the ones out from their indoor enclosure? Any hints and tips and to what your fur babies enjoy in their runs?

Hey everyone, I recently moved to a house with a big yard and with the spring going on i decided to build my babies an outdoor enclosure. I love crafting and had a fun day doing it. I sowed my own grass and planted some edible plants for them. My two boys have plenty of space here to popcorn...

Mine won't even let us stroke them, let alone handle. But we have had them for five years now, and they aren't scared to walk around where our feet are, and give anything a shove if it is in their way, hoomans included. When we pick them up for nail cutting, weighing, transporting, and vet...

So Pistachio has had a week without Cashew and he’s doing OK, quiet but eating and drinking. There are no single boars looking for bonding from either the RSPCA or nearest Piggy shelter. I have spoken to Wood Green today as they have a bonding option where he can stay there and be mixed and...

Well done for doing your homework before welcoming piggies into your life. I would vote for a cage indoors where you can interact with them a lot. Whilst using grids for an outdoor run might seem like a good idea, make sure they are fox/cat/dog proof. I think using something more substantial...

Yes that is what I am checking when you mentioned hutch and run….traditionally they are outdoor items. So, do they have access to the whole area - ie are the hutch and run connected - at all times? If so, it is the whole of the hutch and run (bottom floor) is what counts as living space...

Hi! I recently moved into a house with a garden and got my two piggies an outdoor run so they could start enjoying some time on the lawn a few times a week. Unfortunately… they were not enjoying it at all. I’ve tried to keep at it through the summer but they are stress biting the cage (which...

What is the outdoor run? Most wooden runs have hinged lids so can very easily be opened/left open during the bonding. Metal runs usually do only have side doors which makes using them very hard anyway (I’d personally always avoid them for that reason but also because they aren’t always...

Hello, I have a fairly settled group of four rescued guinea pigs (3 sows and a neutered boar). Two of the sows were added as babies to an existing bonded pair last year. My husband's aunt has been stuck in the guinea pig cycle for a while. She also now spends more time away, and her pig savvy...

Thinking ahead to the better weather next spring....Our girls live inside but we are planning to get a folding outdoor run for the garden. I have my eye on the 6x3 folding Riverside Run. We would aim for them to use it for a few hours each day (in daylight hours) when someone was at home to keep...

Fatty lumps are quite common but a lump which is growing usually needs investigating/removing. Where exactly is the lump - is it near one of his nipples at all? Weight loss We know he is losing weight because he isn’t eating enough hay (and this is why you need to be syringe feeding him every...

Sadly, on Wednesday this week, I found Ebony in the outdoor hutch very poorly indeed. I took her straight to the vet's and she was pts. It looked as if she hadn't eaten for many hours and I can beat myself up but all too late now and unfortunately we will never know why she stopped eating. She...

Hello everyone. I am a Father (who is inexperienced with piggies) looking to help/advice on how create a quality environment for two adopted/rescued piggies for my daughters (7&9) who will be mentored by my wife (who grew up owning and caring for piggies). Our current plan is to covert the...

The 1-4 weeks is how long he can stand being alone ie you dont want him being alone for much longer than 4 weeks. Its nothing to do with bonding. Moving him next to the girls might be an option but we would need to know much more about your set up to advise. He can't be moved outside at this...

After losing both of our boys very recently, I have brought two baby sows home today. They’re beautiful very fluffy sheba mini yaks. They were originally intended to be lady friends for my remaining 18m old boar after we lost his brother, but horribly, he passed away overnight after I had him...
