"My guinea-pig had babies this evening and my children became extremely over excited, I've separated them from dad but I only have been unorganized as usual and not yet sorted out a hutch, they are in an indoor cage but I don't really have anywhere to keep this away from the children and my youngest has already 'loved' my sons hamster too much and he went to hammy heaven so obviously I don't want the same for these babies. Does anyone have a hutch at all that they can spare? Then I can put them out with the other animals which is safely secured from the children. I'm quite handy so even a fixer upper would be welcomed. I can collect from anywhere pretty much any time."

I emailed them giving them some basic info on piggie babies (boys needing to be separated at 3 weeks, food, sexing them, etc) and said if she needed help to email me and I can point her in the direction of a rescue or I can take them off her hands.
Possibly a moment of madness, as I would need to get another hutch or build one
but the post worried me so much - especially the bit about her youngest 'loving' the hamster too much! pow-powmalletheadmalletheadmallethead
