Hi,

Next week I am getting guinea pigs for the first time. Does anyone have any advice for me on things I need to buy or how to set the hutch up?

Many Thanks x :)
 
Hi Mr Truffles,

I am new guinea owner too...well since childhood anyway.

I discovered a lot of great info on here and looked at photo's for idea's.

I buy stuff on Ebay when i see good deals.
 
Hi xx welcome to the forum xx
What are you getting..boys or girls?
Are they going to be inside or outside?
I have 2 boys and 6 girls that live in hutches and runs outside in my shed (with the exception of 2 girls who live inside due to an ongoing illness, hopefully they'll all be reunited soon).
 
Hi,

Thanks for your reply I am getting two boys who are going to live outside in the summer and in my garage in the winter.
 
Hi! Welcome to the forum!

It's good that you are doing your research before you are getting your piggies!

You can find out more about hutches and bedding for hutches in our housing section.

Here is a thread that should hopefully help you with the diet:

Aww how lovely :)
My boys have a food bowl, a wooden toy, a veg dish, a tunnel and a hidey box in their hutches and they have a wooden toy, an igloo, a tunnel, food bowl and veg dish in their runs (they are seperated due to fighting).
I think you have to try and get to of everything for boys as they can be territorial of stuff, but I'm sure a more experienced member will be alble to advise you more.
Can't wait to see the pigtures x
 
I had to buy 2 of everything for 2 girls..it was handbags at dawn until i did rolleyes
 
Hi and welcome :)
Any updates? How's it all going with the little boars?
My first experience with piggies was two boars, they were 2 of my children's pets....... they got me completely hooked on piggies drool
Hope you update us soon :)
