New Home :)

Looks great! I bet the piggies are loving all that space! :)
 
amazing! I would suggest to put a waterproof linen for protecting the carpet and maybe some paper between the fleece and the towel, so that you remove only the wet spots on the paper and not the whole towel (but if you have, for example, 7 towels, you can change them one a day and then once a week you can wash them all together). Be careful with those cables, I have a similar set up next to the couch and I also have the plugs in your same position; one day the cable managed to lower a little and the piggies damaged it. I would tie those cables fixing them on the cage in a safe way, as I have done, too.
Anyway congratulations, yours is a lovely piggies house!
 
They are loving it! Although my adventurous one Harry is putting his head through the bars! I'm hoping his butt is too big to get out haha
 
I'm just hoping they won't fit through the gaps. I'm worried I'll go to bed and be no pigs in the hutch lol Harry and Ron can get their head through but I'm hoping their belly's will stop them!
 
I'd be worried about them getting stuck. From the photo it looks like your grids are 8x8 squares which are not recommended for guinea pigs for that very reason. 9x9 is the recommended size.
 
If you're worried about them getting stuck could you put some cardboard tied with zip ties on the sides for a temporary solution? Then you can get something more permanent in place later on. Just a thought.

They are 8x8. They haven't escaped overnight and haven't got stuck so far lol I'll have to look at sorting something out. Maybe cutting up a fleece blanket to cover. And pegging it on lol
 
Oh man I didn't do enough research on the grids and am non panicking lol does anyone else u 8 x 8 grids for adult pigs? Mine r babies at the moment.
 
If you push the left side right up to the wall and cover the other two sides with puppy pads if you are worried. There’s only two sides then. Then as they grow you won’t worry and can take it off.
 
Cleaned them.out for the first time today. Looks lovely. Piggies are now running round like crazy things haha I hope my boys don't get offended with the pink blanket haha bought 2 new ones today haha

PS that smelly that's plugged in won't harm them will it? It's next to hutch and on the minimum release.
