We have two wooden corner hideys for our two girls, each with two entries/exits. I'm wondering whether there is a less bulky solution for when we go on holiday/take the girls to be cared for whilst we are away. Are cloth hideys like this suitable and safe?

I don't know about those particular ones but lots of people use those, often called fleece forests.
 
Thank you very much, that's good to know. Any suggestions on brands would be great. Also are the pear clips ok? - I know C clips are preferred for rats as their heads can get stuck, but I'm not sure about piggies.

[And apologies for duplicate post - phone crashed mid-post and first post only became visible when I had posted again. And can't work out how to delete]
 
I don't know about the clips hopefully someone else will but it's late and most people are in bed! You can ask for the second post to be deleted but I don't think you can do I yourself. A mod can do it for you.

We use corner fleece forests- & improvised ones too.
The clips are fine for Guinea pigs.


This is a photo of part of a set up away from home- I made the fleece forest from fleece scraps- it’s just tucked into a grid used on top.

Here’s the random assortment of things we use for attaching corner forests or pegging blankets around the outside to help prevent drafts. Clothes pegs in our holiday bag have been very useful. We just make sure clips/pegs are only used near the top of the grids.( we use CC grids).



After thought…..
cardboard boxes with doorways cut out are very handy as houses on holiday too.

I made a super large one for someone once, it’s was for 2 pairs living side by side. Not all of the cage is there but it was 2 - 2 x 5 c&c they are safe for gp’s

This is great, thank you! May give them a go. We have used cardboard boxes before but - typically - found we then struggled to find any the right size. Their travel cage (a Midwest) is smaller than their usual cage so needed something big enough to be a good hidey but not so big it took too much floor space.
