Hi there, we are new to guinea pigs and new to this forum. We are planning to get two pet guinea pigs quite soon. We have a garden shed that we think we could use for the guinea pigs. But I have a couple of questions, we are thinking about putting a hutch in the shed for better warmth in colder...

Heat stroke really is a totally silent killer and a great worry. I hate to say it, but without insulation and thorough protection from the sun, no shed is safe for guinea pigs anymore. I don't think a rescue will re-home these days to an outdoor shed easily. Perhaps it would be best to return...

Not sure where to ask this question. I had some hay that gave haymites to my guinea pigs I got rid of all the hay as I couldn’t tell what was infested I’ve thoroughly cleaned the shed where I store the hay by vaccuming it and wiping down surfaces with F10 I have invested in plastic bins with...

Shimmer is now in the shed in her indoor cage. The new guinea pig will be coming tomorrow and they will be bonded immediately as new girl is just a baby. They will eventually have a cage set up in the shed with a lot more space and a smallish indoor cage in my bedroom for those times of...

I have only ever kept outdoor guinea pigs in a shed. I used a 5 foot single chartwell hutch from home and roost and put it in the shed on a very sturdy shelf built especially for that purpose. There is a section in the housing part of the forum with a lot of housing ideas which may be worth a...

I have indoor guinea pigs and buy my hay by the bale. I store it in a hay bag. Usually I store it in a hay bag in my shed. However my shed needs replacing and now I store it in my garage. I try not to make a mess when I take hay and put it in my collapsible garden bin. I need a better way to...

Some very good points there Truffolo. I will be having electricity connected to the shed. It will be insulated and will have a heater in the winter and a fan in the summer. The guinea pigs (Shimmer and new guinea pig once I have one) will come into my bedroom in the very hot and very cold...

Sadly little Saffron died this morning. Shimmer sat with her for most of the day. Only yesterday I was gazing at her thinking how lucky I was to have a little beauty in my life. RIP lovely girl. New shed coming soon (Thursday). Once I have got the guinea pig shelf ready I will get a little...

I would be using the hutch for the guinea pigs, facing away from the run and with the ramp closed and the run for the rabbits with an old chartwell hutch inside it. It is only for the times when the shed and sunroom are too blazing hot for them. I would be around most of the time to keep an eye...

That's all sounding good. I'm glad you have these options, they sound very positive. I'm sorry you lost your piggy. Too sad 😔

I gave my two shed dwelling guinea pigs a cosy hide each but they just used it to clamber over and poo on top of!

I did a lovely big clean out today and put the snuggle safes in. Both the guinea pigs stayed firmly hidden! Moondust was out and about. Excuse the mdf with a big damp stripe. It was used as an inner wall on the shed, but the shed had holes in, hence the damp. Moondust likes it against her...

The advice would be to bring them in to be safe if the fireworks are close. Keep the room as cool as you can and get them back out as soon as possible. Fireworks, Thunderstorms and Builders: Pactical tips for guinea pig owners My own piggies live in a shed and I do leave them in the shed with...

@Piggies&buns has her guinea pigs living in a shed all year round so she should hopefully be able to offer some advice but if having electricity in the shed is an option, that would be great as you could use fans / air conditioning unit in the summer and heat in the winter. I have a friend who...

Hi, asking for a friend who has 7 guinea pigs, 3 females and 4 males. They live outside but 4 of them are currently in a shed due to ill health. They have lost alot of guineas these past few months and the vet doesn't know why so I'm looking for answers. All guineas have previously had...

The lodger is a great addition to the household! The guinea pigs will definitely be in the house if the weather gets too hot or too cold but otherwise they will be in the shed with the rabbits and with some wonderful insulation.

Hello, I hope you all are doing well today considering it a hot weather today and worrying about our piggies. I have read through Hot Weather Management, Heat Strokes and Fly Strike that Wiebke kindly created and recommended. I have 4 guinea pigs which is 2 female and 2 males, separate...

That should be fine.

The guinea pigs are fine cos they are indoors. Poor rabbits are in a shed. Mesh door, meshed over a window that opens and 24/7 access to a shaded run each.

Yes if they are in a shed. Not all their guinea pigs can go outdoors but the pair that I am hoping for can do thankfully.
