outdoor

My piggies have an Eglu run for chickens in the garden, it’s 3 metres long, and they have a wooden hutch from pets at home they go in during the night. i love the eglu run it’s very safe and secure and my piggies love being in it, but the hutch i had an issue a few weeks ago with predators...

Hi! My Guinea pigs have recently gone back outside ( back out for my older girl but first time for my younger two) and I was wondering if anyone has any recommendations for wireless cameras for me to put in the hutch so I can keep an eye on them? Also please if anyone has any outdoor...

I've been reading these forums for the past 6 months... lots of great content, lots of different opinions :-). I have been looking for the best setup for our 2 boars who will be housed outside over the winter. They are 12 months old and have been enjoying the freedom of our garden for the last 6...

Do any of you have indoor piggies that you bring outside for play time? I want to do that now that the weather is nicer but I would probably put the them on the pavement because I don’t have grass in the yard. I’m concerned about bugs or any kind of bacteria they aren’t exposed to harming them.

Hello everyone, how are you all doing? So, my situation is pretty specific. I have had two female guinea pigs for like 3-4 months now, and they've been kept in an indoor C&C cage this whole time. However, I've had some extreme issues with my landlord (I live in Australia), and I'm having to...

Hey, newbie here, but I was wondering if it’s okay to keep guinea pigs outside. I currently have my two boars in a 150 cm by 75 cm hutch in my balcony (away from potential predators such as dogs or cats), where they can get enough interaction with me, as it’s just beside my room. However, I live...

Hi everyone, I’ve bought Streaky a run for the garden but it hasn’t got a cover. I usually let him roam around in the garden under my supervision but I thought getting a run with a cover would be better as I wouldn’t need to always watch him to make sure he’s out of danger. However the run...

Back when the weather was fabulous :hmm: I put the boys outside for a little run around. It was their first time but they took to it like a duck to water 😁 My mum who was (and still is to a lesser degree) scared of them campaigned for them to stay out longer when I spoke of bringing them back in...

Seeing as the nice weather is drawing closer, I've started looking at outdoor runs for my piggies. Do you have any recommendations? Ideally it would fold down so it can be stored away, but I obviously don't want it to be flimsy. Thank you!

Hi everyone. My Mum has been looking after my two remaining elderly guinea pigs, who have always lived outside. she has brought them back to me today, and we both think they are too old and it is too cold for them to be outside now. Matilda has been acting very slow and I think its better if...

Hi all, I have two lovely female piggies who I acquired earlier this year. They live outdoors, in a two level hutch that has mesh over 3/4 of the front, and then a 'bedroom' area with wooden walls all the way around so it's a bit more enclosed. I've been bringing them indoors when the...

Hi, I am about to buy two new guinea pigs as the ones i had before have both now died. We have just had a garage built for our house and i was considering moving a hutch into the "open bay", as in, without a door. Is this sensible? Also, would i need to buy a cover for the hutch as they are...

So I have found this hobbit hole on gumtree and was wondering if people think it would be fine. I currently have one boar, Drogo, but am hoping to adopt another very soon and then move them outside due to it getting nicer (Drogo goes out for the day anyway but don't want to put him out by...

Hi guys, I'm still very new to guinea pig owning and I need some help! I'm worried Teddy (my mostly blind guinea pig that lives outside) is getting bumblefoot. His back heels are starting to go red. Now, I'm pretty sure this is my fault for thinking his bedding is dry when it isn't, and also...

Hi All! I've purchased a used hutch; the wood is still sturdy, but there's some urine staining around the wood on the bottom of the 2 levels. What's the best way to disinfect, and neutralise the scenting on the wood? I've seen some people use vinegar, bleach, disinfectant, but I'd really like...

In good weather the adult guinea pigs go outside into a run with a hutch attached. Now olive has had the babies she stays in the shed during the day with the babies whilst the older girls go outside in the run. At what age can the babies start going outside with all of the other Guinea pigs? I...

I really need some advice. I have 2 girls. Since i got them (8 months ago) they've been in a cage in our house. However the cage is outside my room and i've become allergic. My allergies started in February when they must have been shedding? but they're really bad now. I constantly need my...
