Junior Guinea Pig
I have just bought two 12 week old guinea pigs ( females, Pinky and Diesel) and at the moment they are in temporary housing in my conservatory as I realise the hutch I bought is not appropriate.
I am trying to decide whether to have them outside during warmer weather, and bringing them in to the garage in the winter. or having an indoor cage which would need to be housed in a hallway, right outside my 3 year olds bedroom. I know that they are social animals, and like interaction, but I am worried that my 3 year old might be too hectic and noisy for them to be around on a permanent basis.
During the day they are out for floor time anywhere between 30mins- 2 hours, with interaction during that time.( usually for the most part the kids are out during this time making it a calm environment.)
Any advice would be great, before I go ahead and choose their permanent home.
Also want to check about diet, are guinea pigs of that age ok to eat adult pellets, or should I be getting them something different.
Thanks, Abby
