New Born Pup
my guinea pigs are currently living in a hutch inside a shed, and i am planning to open up the whole shed for them to use, however I have a few questions that I hope you wouldn't mind helping me with.
I am not sure how to attach a lock for a mesh door. How do you lock your mesh doors without it preventing the main door from closing?
how do I make the shed pest-proof? I am not aware of any mice or rats in my area, however after reading some horror stories about them, i have decided to make the shed as safe as I can!
Could a 6'x4' shed be too large for two piggies? I have read some websites which list maximum cage sizes and I worry that i will struggle to find/bond with them. (or them with each other) - or maybe this is a good reason to get another.
Where do I buy wire mesh, and is there a type that is best?
would adding curtains over the windows stop it from heating up so much in the summer?
do I need to cover the entire floor with fleece or will they be okay with some areas on the lino, as long as I cover the high-traffic areas?
Thank you so much in advance, everyone on here seems so lovely and so helpful!
