Hi,
I’m really new to this and this is my first post but I was hoping anyone could help me I have two female guinea pigs who are around 7 and 8 weeks old and I have noticed that they both hide behind their hidey house instead of going inside it to hide.
Is this normal? Is there anything else I could be doing?

They may just prefer it!
How long have you had them?
Do all hides have two exits?

I’ve had them for a just over a month now and they have two hides but only have one entrance in the front I have tried putting hay in it so it’s cosy but they still seem to hide behind it

Hello and welcome. They may just feel more comfortable hiding behind it. I'm sure they will eventually venture inside
