New Born Pup
Hi all,
We are getting two baby sows imminently and just wanted to find out the answers to a couple of questions (have been furiously reading/watching all I can about caring for Guinea Pigs over the last month!).
For logistical reasons they will be outside piggies...we have a single storey 5ft x 2ft hutch with hutch hugger and hutch snuggler, with an option to move into the garage in colder months (never used for cars and has some natural light as double garage doors both with frosted windows at the top).
Regarding daily spot cleaning...do I assume that it is better to remove piggies into their indoor run or pet carrier before doing this in case of escapee piggies? Or is it better to try and spot clean whilst they are still in the hutch?
In winter, what do I do with the piggies whilst cleaning the hutch as I know temperature fluctuations are not good for them so I take it I can’t bring them inside whilst cleaning their hutch...or would this be ok for 15/20 mins or so?
Many thanks
