Snugglesafes are a necessity for outdoor piggies. You heat them up in a microwave and then pop them in their cage (and/or in hides) to provide them somewhere warm to sit. They stay warm for up to 10 hours but I find it slightly less outside (mine are also in a shed) and more like 6-8 hours...

Hi all. My senior pig Apollo aka Po has developed sore feet and I'm wondering if it's from the wood shavings as I've had elderly animals develop this before despite being fine being on it most their life. Po lives outside with the other pigs in a shed and given the current weather and...

Our piggies have just graduated from outdoor pigs to indoor pigs, one of their heated hutches needed major work and after I priced up the materials I realised C&C cages aren't too expensive and we wouldn't have the worry of them being outside in the cold. We have a lone boar who is going in a...

I have two female guinea pigs, Molly and Lucy ( both 5 ) and recently noticed a few months ago that Mollys hair was getting shorter around the back of her back legs, almost fluff rather then fur(She’s always had course wiery hair) I just kept an eye on it and didn’t think this was a big issue...

Hi there, first time posting, seen loads of good advice here! 😄 I’m just hoping for some tips on my winter set up for my 2 outdoor boys. This forum seems to be more accepting of outdoor setups more than other places online. Current Hutch We currently have the house below that was given to us -...

Looks great ! The corner hidey covers you can find on Amazon or custom made on Etsy

My guinea pigs live in the garage all year as there are too many foxes around to have them outside. The lighting in my garage isn't that great either over winter - it's fine in the summer as there is a large window for the light to come in and the Personnel door is always open (it opens onto...

Hi all, just hoping for a bit of advice. I just got three beautiful girlies today. At the moment because they are only 7weeks old tomorrow I have them inside and was wondering what is best to put down on the bottom of the cage. At the minute I do have wood shavings down but after a quick google...

If the fleece isn’t getting damp and is drying well in the garage during winter then it’s fine. Being in a shed or garage, particularly if it is insulated, is not the same as being completely outside. The thread you mention, the person has the hutch outside in which case fleece/fleece items...

In terms of the hutch size while narrower than would be advised (a hutch should be 60cm in width) it does just meet the minimum of 8 square feet for two females. I appreciate it is smaller than that which they are used to in their c&c but it isn’t absolutely dreadful. If your mum is adamant...

Shed is insulated in the foil insulation stuff. Got curtains up at windows and doors. Hutches have thermal covers plus foil insulation on the inside and cardboard against the walls. There's blankets and duvets over the top as well as a tarp. Lots of hay to snuggle in with snuggle safes. Large...

I understand, I was not making the thread completely off your back which is why I did not mention names, but it still raised a question in my head as I would not want to do anything to potentially cause issue with my pigs. As the hutch is insulated and I take steps to ensure they aren’t living...

Hello, I haven't posted for a long time but now I have a concern for which I would appreciate advice. Our two piggies, Ophelia and Bianca, are used to pampered living: a large fleece-lined hutch with an attached run outside for when it is warm and dry, and a large, fleecy, C&C set-up inside...

Hi, on another thread I mentioned my use of bath mats in my hutch, which is in a garage and someone else replied saying fleece should not be used outside at all. I didn’t want to fill up the OP thread so I thought I would make my own. I believe the bath mats work well for us, one of my boys...

Wood shavings are absolutely fine to use. There are lots of different types of disposable beddings which can be used - I’ve tried most of them over the years! Shavings, aubiose (which is a hemp bedding), megazorb etc My hutches (are in the shed) are lined with correx. I then put down a...

I’m afraid you cannot use any fabric beds outside in winter. They will not dry when urinated on in winter and can wick moisture from the air, consequently your piggies will be sleeping in damp beds. Fleece hides and bedding can only be used indoors. Plastic igloos are not really recommended...

Is there any decent soft hides for a good price. I’m not against spending money on them but I cant really justify spending £20 on one hidey, especially now. Unless that’s all that’s available. Actually saying that most of the hides and toys I have for them were from 10-20, but I am wondering...

:wel: First of all, make sure you check their sexes yourself. We do see missexing mistakes from pet shops and breeders and you do just want to be certain you have three sows. The type of bedding you use is a personal choice - there is no best type of bedding, it’s only the best for you if...

Ahh I love this! Thank you so much for your reply. Yes when I wrote on the forum I was a little overwhelmed that I had bought the girls as fast as I did 🫣 Luckily I read up loads of info on the forum so now have a routine feed chart and everything on the fridge so I don’t get mixed up while...

I use washable pee pads underneath the fleece in the hutch and before that I used them under the hay when I had outside piggies. I got mine off Amazon. They are quite expensive but have lasted well. I wash them at least once a week at 60 degrees and have cut them to fit my hutch with no lack...
