Mine are indoors but I worry about the temp dropping when the heating gets turned down. My previous pigs were outdoor although they did get put into the shed at night/cold weather and we plugged in a heat lamp. I think it's a lot less messy to keep them outside but our garden is not suitable to...

...defra list doesn't mention them anymore, but councils might be different. The space, company, mud, deep water, care, fencing, shelter, heat lamps etc etc. Just doesn't make them my #1 pets to consider. Plus, with how expensive they are I bet you would need to get extra security. People these...

Does any one have any experience or advice on electric heaters for a shed? The pigs are free range so it can not go on the floor - must be wall or ceiling mounted. Mains electric will be installed in the shed though there isn't any currently. I've been looking at thermostat controlled green...

Pygmy goats are hilarious. I don’t like goats (they just creep me out), but I don’t mind the Pygmy ones because they are so small and cute...and hurt less if they butt you. Pregnant Pygmy goats are really something to laugh at, they look like they might explode on the next bounce.

I'm sorry it looks so dreary! In summer it looks beautiful with flowers spilling out from the fence but in winter it's just a sad little sight XD It looks like an inferno when the heat lamp is on at night. I'll post the inside later.

I pop a blanket over half my cage and use a snuggle safe heat pad (which they ignore tbh) also extra hay. I've also been looking into a heat lamp, but someone on here recommended using a Petnap aluminium heat pad, which I might invest in. I think I'm doing this more for my own peace of mind...

Hmmm. I have 3 male pigs also, and not sure that cage is big enough. Though it kinda depends on the pigs personality and how big they are. C&C cages are what most members use here, (I don't, my pigs have a custom built house and garden outside with a heat lamp at night) but I know that's not...

...plenty carriers, tubs and boxes etc in the animal room, ive planned how I would get them out mainly because some of the other pets have heat lamps or mats so its a real possibility if something malfunctions. I luckily have windows either side of the room, one with large bushes outside, it...

I defiantly don't feel sorry for mine in their mansion. Mine don't have a hutch, they have a HOUSE. They've got tunnels, little hiding houses, hammocks, an outdoor run that in summer has strawberry plants and their own little garden with piggy safe plants. and at night a heat lamp turns on. It's...

I have looked into using heat lamps - but they are expensive to run. After much research I opted for a chick brooder (electric hen/ heat plate) which you can buy in different sizes and adjust the high. My guinea pigs seem to love them and can often be found sitting under them. They are also...

This is my tortoise Eric. He's the love of my life! I rehomed him over 12 years ago because he was being bullied by another. Before that he was ran over by a car and luckily rescued by a vet nurse who thought he was a rock in the gutter at first! His shell is scarred and not perfect but I adore...

Blake is gorgeous.

So cute

ok ill try it next time we bathe him as we have a heat lamp, thank you x

Sounds amazing! I'd love to see some pictures. We are getting a Boyles shed in January and have a kennel with run that we are going to get attached so I'm very interested to see what you've got so I can steal your ideas xx

...shavings then a very deep layer of hay, they all have hides that have fleece on top. I'm still worried that they will get cold. My question is does anyone use heat lamps? I'm thinking about getting them but unsure if they would be dangerous for the piggies or a fire risk. All advice would be...

Since I have a skinny guinea pig in with my haired guinea pigs, I bought two heat lamps for them using 50 watt bulbs, no higher than 75 and they just love them. I put their plastic houses under, keeping the bulbs away from them, and their house, that way it heats up their house, and keeps them...

It was pretty difficult my partner got sick so I braved it alone. My brown aby let me scrub the shampoo in really well and then tried to escape the rinsing but was pretty well behaved. Milo wouldn't let me scrub him at all so I did the best I could and ended up giving him pretty nice short hair...

...dark is not easy! I'm not sure about heat - I know some people use oil radiators, but I feel uneasy about that. I may look into ceramic heat lamps, like people use for reptiles, but my little guineas were in the shed one night when it got down to about minus 6. They ignored the SnuggleSafe...

I had the same thing happen with my longer haired aby after his first bath. He didn't want me to towel dry him or stay in a towel so I sat him and his buddy under a heat lamp that's up by the ceiling (so it wasn't too close to them, and it also doesn't get very hot, a family member uses it to...
