i have a large run, in the summer could i put the hutch out ? would the piggies or rabbit become territory of the hutch an run ?
 
Not sure I fully understand what you are asking. Do you mean that the piggies and rabbit will share?
 
no its a comunale run, the rabbits may not get in to the pigs but troy is naughty and can get though, if he went in there cae woud i have a fight on my hands,
 
Please never have rabbits and guinea pigs together, even in a run. It is just not worth the risk, a kick from a rabbit's hind legs can kill a guinea pig.
 
they dont go out together, troy has a habit of gettin through, i know to keep them a part and watch them, i just wonderd if they would get terotorial ?
 
Unless I am missing something obvious, if they are not out together then I don't see how they can become territorial. The most important precaution is to make sure they cannot meet, adjacent runs are fine, but be careful if Troy is an escape artist.
I am not sure whether Troy is the rabbit or a guinea pig.
 
It should be fine as long as bunny proofed and piggie proofed. If put on concrete then bunny would not be able to dig. My runs get used by piggies only but they may have a different selection of piggies in each time and that does not cause any problems.

With regard to the hutch is it a wooden one? if so has it got felt roofing? If the answer is yes then it would be fine to put outside. Some people in the warmer months attach the run permanently to the hutch.

Does this answer your question?
 
"the rabbits may not get in to the pigs but troy is naughty and can get though"

If YOU as the owner, Know Troy is sneaky and can get through, do you REALLY want to take the risk of KILLING potentially your guinea pig/s? I know i wouldn't. All i'm saying is just think of the safety of your guinea pig/s :)
 
looks like i shuld invest in a seprate run,the devide was working fine untill recently, i will buy a newone
