Hello everyone.
I have joined up today to ask some Guinea Pig experts some advice before I get Guinea Pigs. I need to know exactly what these little darlings need to make them as happy as possible. I am not sure that I am the perfect home for piggies, and I would never adopt any animal that I couldn't give a wonderful home to. I have enough space to give them a home that is around 4ft by 2ft, is that big enough for 2 guinea pigs?
I have read up about their dietary needs, and see that they need a constant access to grass (amongst a lot of other food), that won't be a problem at all as I will pick it for them several times daily.
Now for the big question - I am not in a position to do is allow the piggies to be outside to run and play. I do have a big garden, but I also have a very excitable and playful dog who loves the garden very much (she's always running about like a loon), so the piggies wouldn't be able to be out in the garden.
To me, it doesn't seem fair on the piggies for them to never go outside, so I suspect I already know the answer here.......But I thought I'd just check with the experts if piggies can happily live indoors?
I hope this makes sense and that I haven't rambled too much.
