Guinea pigs in run - dog cocking leg

[Twolardyboars]

Bit of a random one. We have been getting the girls used to going outside for run time, building their time up in the run/grass. We have a dog. Piggies are not fazed by the dog at all, that’s not the problem. However I turned my back and the dog cocked his leg on the run. This isn’t surprising as he does this on anything and everything. But I’m wondering if there’s anything I can buy to add another barrier around the run so that it can be avoided? When he did it before I brought them in as I know how dangerous fresh wee is to them.

I think the safest thing would be to corner off a section of your garden so the doggy can’t get to the run. Maybe a little fence or just some stakes and chicken wire.

Hello twolardyboars you can buy a ‘puppy playpen’ for £25. It’s a large metal playpen. You could add plastic along the outer edge and have the piggies run inside it. I’ve used it as an indoor playpen for my piggies and it’s ideal.
