The bush on the left of your photo is called Photonia . I can't find anything to indicate whether it is harmless/poisonous for Guinea Pigs
 
i really like it its bigger than the hutch i have and there outdoor piggies to so yeah I'm sure there fine its just the bush I'm worrying about xx when its raining you will put them in the shed right? x
xhugs to you and your piggiesx :hug:
 
It looks quite a nice size for them to spend some time in, but it doesn't really have lots of hidey holes and houses.
It seems quite open and I imagine the base (it seems to be dirt) could get quite cold and damp, so definitely a few places where they can get up and off the floor would be nice.

I didn't fully understand your description, but is this just a place for them to spend a few hours outside in the fresh air, and their permanent home is inside a shed?
If so I think they will really enjoy this outdoor space (as long as the weather is good and the ground is dry)
 
I don't think it is suitable to keep them outdoors in :( There is no shelter from the cold wind & rain, if you keep it on the ground the ground will be cold & damp, the piggies will soon get poorly :( Mice & rats can get through those bars & a fox will easily work out how to get at them. Sorry but it's too risky in my opinion :( If it's just to keep them in as a run during the day then it needs to be on the grass at least but still not suitable unless the weather is good & you need to be out there supervising, not leave them all day in it.
 
id try and put some wood around the sides to protect from the wind
 
Sorry I will start again lol
There proper home is a 6x4 shed over two levels ,full insulation 50mm kingspan and boardEd over .
It is however a fair distance from my grassy area and boarders so the cage is for day use and good weather
So hope that eX pains better
Please do comment
 
Are these really that good for the price
My concern would be the indoor space for my two boars don't look that big for both to live happy lifes

Ah I understand better now :) However I still think the bars are too far apart to leave them in it unsupervised during the day, but that is just my opinion :)
 
I'm not a big fan of keeping guinea pigs outdoors unsupervised. Mine get grass time in the summer - but I always make sure either my OH or I am around when they are in a run outdoors.
