Hi everyone Can anyone recommend a foldable, outdoor guinea pig run in the UK, suitable for two piggies? It needs to be something I can manage to carry/put up solo with two kids, and must be able to be folded away in the winter months/when my son has friends over playing football. I have seen...

I want to build a run to allow my pigs a bit of outdoor time, but I'm not sure what timber to use. Looking online, some people recommend pressure treated timber to help it last, and others warn that treated timber could be toxic if chewed. What's the best choice for a sturdy run? Plain...

We got a new outdoor loop for the piggies, they have not really been outside before. We put them in, but they really just kind of sat there. They didn’t explore or run in circles or really anything. How do we get the Big to engage with their enrichment activity? We tried putting some small...

Hello am researching housing before adopting two Guinea pigs. A local rescue has suggested using an outdoor run in my spare room as I need a secure lid due to having a cat but I’m worried about it being on floor and how easy it will be to clean out. I’ve seen another wooden house which can go on...

In addition, I've had a 6ft outdoor run delivered today as now the weather is in the low 20s, I wanted them to have some fresh air. That may have come in clutch 😂

Yes I use the carrier to move the piggies to their outdoor run I will look up your recommended dilution of f10 for ringworm Aww poor piggies missing out on run time but that makes sense I cant be washing everyday.

Can you bring the outdoor run inside? If so, then you can use that. You could do the bonding outside in the run but it would obviously have to be a warm and dry day, you would have to sit with them all day. And importantly if the run is on grass, you would have to cover the grass with a...

Yes but you would still need to put a blanket down or cover the concrete with hay, as being on concrete all day would not be good for their feet

Just wanted to share an idea for anyone that has a spare run or cage bit. We’ve had the folding run for ages and it’s perfectly adequate in size, but Mr Boarworld pointed out the other day that the base-run for our old outdoor cage (no longer used) was going to waste. So, we’ve Frankenstein’d...

Hi I just wanted to ask a question. I would like my guinea pig to have a run outside to play in, fresh air etc. I currently have half concrete and half artificial grass. Last year I covered the concrete with rolls of turf (brought from b&q / range) this lasted all summer with regular watering...

Hello, if the original poster were to cut a hole in the mesh at the end of her hutch and attach the small wooden hide she said she had, would that be big enough Hello, if the original poster were to cut a hole in the mesh at the end of her hutch and attach the small wooden hide she said she...

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...

Hello, I posted recently about our new boars fighting. I have since learned that they are no more than 12mo old, they're not related, and before we got them they lived in a small run with 2 other boars. The girl telling me admitted that some of their scars may be from fighting during this...

Hi all. I’m looking for recommendations for a good size wooden run to use on the lawn as my previous one needs replacing. The old one is 6ft x 3ft and I’d like something of a similar size that folds for storage and the lid folds completely back to allow access into the pen. I’ve seen quite a lot...

Hi everyone, we currently have a wooden outdoor run which has done the job for a couple of years but is now falling apart. So I need a replacement ahead of summer and I was thinking plastic might be a more durable option. Can anyone recommend a good option? Thanks.

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 -...

Welcome to the forum Some are more vocal than others; some never make sounds. But sounds or lack thereof is not an indication of their happiness. Provided they have a good bond with each other and their weight is stable at every weekly weight check, then there is not a concern about them...
