New Born Pup
I bought the following guinea pig hutch for our 5 guinea pigs (now 4 unfortunately) and I feel it may have been a mistake as I’m concerned this is too small:
Extra Large Indoor Guinea Pig Cage with Optional Roof
We opted for the 180x60cm, which said it was suitable for 3-4 pigs. As we had 5 when we bought this, I opened the end up to give them extra room.
We have recently built a stand for this to go on which the hutch fits perfectly but I don’t have space to open this up.
As I am concerned this isn’t enough space, i only put them in there at the end of the day, and I end up making a large enclosure on the floor for them to run around in all day.
Am I right in thinking this is to small for them too spend the day & night in (excluding daily floor time) and should I even consider building another enclosure and having 2 in each of them (I feel bad splitting them apart)
