Hi everyone I have 3 piggys 2 girls that live together in an outdoor hutch and one girl lives indoors on her own we rescued her and have tried and tried to get them all to be friends so they can live together but it's not happening! What I want to know is I have nibbles in a 1.5 meter long cage is there and insert I can buy to make it 2 levels for more space? She does have free run of living room every night but must get bored on her own thanks

Levels do not give guinea pigs more space as they often do not use them. Ground space is what counts in terms of giving guinea pigs room. Have you thought of dividing a c and c and having all the girls in it so she has company with them as neighbours?

I don't have the room for all to be indoor and the girls out side have a piggy mansion and massive down stairs run and plenty of time on the grass when weather permits, was just trying to make nibbles home a little more intresting for her.

I understand. You could try a tunnel and cabin or kitchen rolls filled with hay?

Thank you sounds like I'm being difficult with your advise I'm not tho! She has a tube and tunel and balls and is out every night for cuddles and a run around I just guess I feel sorry for her as she must be lonely without piggy friends just wanted to make her home a bit more intresting for her.

You are not being difficult at all. You clearly love your little girl very much. It sounds like you are doing all you can to keep her happy, one thing I learned is having a variety of hay makes my pigs really happy and excited. I use these ones for treats,
