summer

Hi guys! Has any of u ever tried using cooling plates? I was thinking of buying some for the summer, i already tried buying cooling liners and they are great! But was wondering of these are somewhat better my only issue is that pee won’t obviously go through

Hi guys! So I'm probably too early to ask this but i don’t wanna risk anything and be prepared. I was thinking in buying an electric fan for the summer. are electric fans safe for guinea pigs ? Especially when I'm not home and at night time and can’t turn the A/C on for long periods of time...

Some photos of me giving the girls some broccoli in their playhouse today! I think I have 2 very happy piggies now its summer :luv:

Haven't been on here in ages! Finished college for the year and its now officially my summer! Been just over a year I've had my 2 little piggies, they are still absolutely mental but still happy and healthy! Struggling to find shade in the garden for them :no: first thing this morning I put...

Hey, I have 3 long haired guinea pigs and they really do hate the hot weather. They are fine in the garden as long as it’s 24degrees or below. Anything more like it has been over the weekend and they become very uncomfortable. Upon coming home today my other half found a very uncomfortable pig...

I am not...

My guinea pigs' hutch is out of the sun, however there's a patch of sun that hits just in front of the hutch, and when they're in the run my black boar, Nox, loves to sunbathe. (Water isn't an issue, they've got a bottle upstairs and downstairs, and they eat plenty of veg, cucumber and celery...

The temperatures at the beginning of this week mean that my shed will be getting too hot during the day for the pigs, so they've moved into the spare room and don't seem to mind, so far, the lack of space compared to the shed! We will try to still give them floor time, but whether it is in that...

With nicer weather, hopefully, on the way, I am thinking about my shed and the sun. I have already sourced shade cloth to fix over the windows to block direct sunlight (my shed is in sun for a few hours in the daytime) but I am looking for an accurate and reliable digital thermometer which I can...
