Burrowing

[Guinea pig love123]

I know that guinea pigs don't need to burrow but should I give them the chance for more enrichment because they do it in wild, I think

They don’t burrow. Providing tunnels etc for them to hide in is enough. A lot of piggies love nothing more than being inside big hay piles though and this is why I don’t use hayracks and instead just throw very large piles of hay in their cage.

Ok thank you, my pigs have litter trays and I make sure that they are always full of hay

A paper bag full of hay is also a firm favourite with most piggies.

I was I thinking about burrows and natural habitat so as well as them loving hay, I made my pigs a burrow from a tunnel, hidey and folded over cage liner with blankets inside. They love it but not great in hot weather and the poop piles are something else

I put a blanket over the liner and if I raise up one end my two will burrow under it and hide and sleep in there too!

What a luxury blanket, lucky piggies!
