I always use newspaper (i thought everyone did) it stops your hutches from getting wet and rotting quicker. So it makes your hutch last longer!
 
Is it okay to have guinea pigs outside in the summer, even at night, I'm not sure whether to have them inside or outside now.

It's fine but when the days are really hot you need to keep the piggies cool. I use frozen water bottles wrapped in towel for them to lie against, a house brick dampened with a wet cloth or a dampened towel draped over the outside of the hutch fronts & i re-wet it when it's dried, summer was hot last year & all my piggies were fine :)

aaw that's not nice! Mind you, i've been on some nasty forums too....you just can't beat this one though! ;)
 
I'm just telling the truth, here is lovely although i have to say one chinchilla forum is as nice as this, now i come on here and on that chinchilla forum and thats all! oh and my emails! :) If i got guinea pigs i would have a base of newspaper and then ay, possibly straw, depends on what they are used to!
 
I havent got pictures of all of them. I have 25 resident piggies, the pairs and threesomes are in 6ft hutches like this

what is easier to clean up? the encloser or the hutchs?
Click to expand...

They are just as easy as each other 8)
 
looks good i love seeing pictures of hutches and cages!
 
I'd love a herd like yours in an enclosure but we have a mouse problem in our shed so it's a no-go :'(
 
when we move house we might be getting a shed, and i will split it off and put the hutch doors open with a ladder so they can go and play in the area  O0
