Junior Guinea Pig
Hi guys,
I posted a couple of weeks ago that our two piggies would be coming home Christmas Eve as a surprise for my little girl for Christmas.
After doing my research on the forum, this was probably not the best way to do his but I will have to just do the best I can with the situation.
We are building a 5x2 c&c cage with a 1x2 loft. I am having to get the piggies on Christmas Eve and sneak them into their new home as a surprise on Christmas morning.
We have a lovely renovated cellar and my daughters playroom is down there. We are currrently redecorating it all to make a fab home for the new additions to our family.
My dilemma i suppose is i had the idea of creating the loft area into their kitchen/hay area and then the larger part at the bottom to be fleece with hidey holes and toys etc.
Then I realised, how do I even know if they will go up the ramp or not! They are currently being bonded and don’t live in a cage with a ramp.
I also could do with a bit of advice about the best way to get them out of the carry cage. I thought I would put fleece and hay in it to make them as happy as possible and then maybe coax them out with veggies?
The issue with me doing this as a surprise is for the first day I aren’t going to be able to spend loads of time with them. Is it best to leave them quiet for a few hours anyway?
I just didn’t want to put the food and hay in the bottom and then never be able to get them up the ramp. I’ve never had piggies before but have been researching for weeks and haven’t made the decision lightly.
They are currently being fed Heygates rabbits choice so I have bought the same and have stocked up on Timothy and Meadow hay.
Anyway, I am rambling now ha ha. Any advice would be much appreciated.
Many thanks.
Pics just cos they are so cute!
