Its absolutely chucking it down where I am located so I went out to see if the piggies were okay.

My 4 are some what 'free range' guinea pigs. Each pair have insulated hutches that open out onto a large run that sits on a wooden pallet and then onto grass. The bottom doors are always open so they can either stay on the wood or hop down onto the grass whenever they feel like.

The wood part and the hutch is covered by a plastic cover which prevents the rain and wind but at the other end of the run on the grass, open with no cover.

I went out with my umbrella to make sure they were all okay and they were out pop-corning around on the grass in the pouring rain! Absolutely loving it as they got soaked.

I bundled them all up, dried them all off and popped them back into their hutches with some veg.

They wouldnt be so happy to be wet if it was cold!

Anyone elses pigs love water/rain?
 
No, all mine run straight back inside when the first spot hits them- I have a similar set up cage is in a shed with a hatch out onto their own grassed area

What a shame you couldn't of caught it on camera.
 
That's amazing! Do yours like baths then as well?
Two of them love bath time, they love to try and paddle but I'm not brave enough to have the water more than a few inches. I bet they would actually swim though, if they had a chance.

Haha I'm sure it will happen again, it is England after all!

I dont mind them playing around in the rain but they are long hair so it takes ages to brush them. Two are getting a major hair cut on Saturday :(
 
I bathed my boys today and I thought I would try the bathtub as they hated a bowl and being hairless they are very slippery when wet... I filled it 2 inches and they loved it alot calmer :) Poe even ran down to the end where it was slightly deeper and had a paddle. Was cute to watch.
