Is 4ft the minimum size of hutch for two females as when I had tango and salsa they where both fine in there

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.

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...

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

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

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...

...the protection of the hutch) but the two boys I have left can’t live together (they fought as babies and their bond broke) so live as neighbours. Hutches don’t work easily at all with piggies who have to live as neighbours) This is our shed gallery, which may find helpful. Member Gallery: Sheds

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

My current 4 month old boys had a fall out and the current plan is to return one boy to the breeder and get a new friend for the one we keep. I am hoping 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...

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.

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...

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...

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

...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...

No it still wouldn’t make it a suitable. I assume you’re thinking it would increase 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...

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...

Yes 15 would be absolutely fine. What you are wanting to avoid is sudden temperature large changes but we are not yet far enough into autumn for the changes between inside and outside to be great enough to be concerning. As i say though, it is preferable to being alone all winter so I would...

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...
