Junior Guinea Pig
Spent the evening cabletyeing the perspex to the hayloft, filled it with a layer of newpaper and loads of hay. set up the fleece, added toys, beds and cozies, finally water bottle and food bowl, then chased them round the hutch until one by one they were added to the hayloft for their permanent move to the new 4x3 c&c.
First reaction: totally shocked and burying of themselves in the hay. Left them for half and hour and have just returned to find them all downstairs mooching about so they have mastered going down the ramp at any rate.
Have just sat hand feeding them parsley for half an hour so its looking good.
I've tried to give them a good scattering of cozies, ingloos and hidey house for cover but want to give them enough room to roam around in so I am sure the layout will change quite a bit over the coming days.
I am going away next week so wanted to get them settled in to their new pad before their aunty comes in to look after them next week. The move was necessary as at the moment their hutch needs cleaning every 4 days and aunty will feed but not clean them so needed to move them into the bigger set up so they can go the week. I have bought the big bed size incontinence pad so hoping that they will last a week with that and the fleece.
They haven't managed to destroy anything or rip the fleece off yet but lets see what carnage the morning brings!
