How Much Light Do They Need?

[RachelE]

At the moment my two piggies are in a cage in a light hallway, just off the kitchen so I can interact with them a lot, but the only way they have no strong sunlight on the cage is to have them at about knee level.
I can move them to somewhere where they're about 5 feet off the ground, which is a much better height for interaction and not seeming to be a giant when approaching. However, it's a bit further away from a window and therefore not quite as light, and a little further away from the main bit of the house, so they wouldn't see me quite as much.
Where would you have them? What's more important? Thanks

It should be ok to keep them in the same place, providing the sun light isn't shining all the time, maybe you could add a pull down blind? It would be better to keep them out the direct sunlight, but they'd be better off in the main part of the house.

Sunlight's not really a problem, it's more of a choice between low height + interaction & light v. higher height + less interaction and less light. If that makes sense!

Probably best to leave them where they are then.

Ok, I will!
