Hello All
This is my first post here, so here goes!
We currently have 5 guineas: 1 6-year old boar, 2 1-year old boys and 2 1-year old girls.
I am considering building a large run in the garden, around 30 feet x 8 feet, and ideally we would like to have 15-20 guineas in there.
So we have lots of questions!
Many thanks
Les

So we have lots of questions!
- under what circumstances can we have a mix of males and females?
- do we need to worry about females becoming pregnant too young or too old?
- I am planning for the run to be mainly grassed, with a wire mesh roof, and with 3 or 4 small hutches within it? Should I also put in some form of heating for the winter (this is England!)?
- Am I (or rather my daughters - this is their project really!) going to have to clean the run of all the poo, like we currently do for the hutches. Or, if we get the numbers right, will the poo just rot and disipate before it becomes too unhealthy
- What else do we need to be thinking about?!?
Many thanks
