To cut a long story short - I rescued a rabbit and guinea pig last year who have always been together. I post on Rabbits United (RubyGordy) and was advised by all on there to have them both neutered and find them each friends of their own kind. Ruby rabbit is about 3 now and Gordon the guinea approx 2. Currently they both live in a really big hutch I had made but now I need to plan a seperate guinea home.
I'm thinking of finding two girlies from a rescue for Gordon if poss and I've seen a wendy house which I think looks ideal as a home. It's 5foot by 3ft and will go against the house wall. I can get it in log lap and plan to attach a run to the side.
Here's a link to it.

What I need to know is: how much or how little ventilation do outdoor GPs need? The play house has a glass window which I would have meshed instead and, I guess boarded with a shutter at night. Also - what's the best way to have them go from play house to run? Would you use a cat flap or just have a tunnel? Or maybe just a square cut out that a wooden panelcan be slotted down over at night?
As the playhouse would be against the wall, I'm guessing I could get some heating installed. Is there anything anyone could recommend?
Finally - any other tips/advice at all that I may not have considered would be very welcome! Sorry if I've bored you completely...:red
Thanks
