lt's here!

just came in from an hour in "the hutch " missing Oakley, sure his head wifelett,s Dewberry,BlackBerry, Rosehip and Juniperberry are missing him too . Starting to put more hay down on the floor for them as its starting to get bit of a chill in the air at night, the nights are drawing it quickly, picked a box of maize cobs and green stems , Helps to build their fat reserves up for winter, drying some out in the greenhouse to use as winter treats.
 
the temperature is now dropping to freezing at night, -4c acouple of nights ago. The Hutch is still cosy and warm, starting to build the spent hay up on the floor, from the hay racks and manger, put your fingers down into it and you can feel the warmth, will have to test the temperature with a thermometer and see how warm it is, will let you know the results! Put more boxes on the upper floors stuffed with hay. Piggies are still getting to spend an hour or two outside if the suns out and its not raining or blowing a gale. Otherwise they are shut in, still managing to forage some greens when out walking the dogs, starting to buy in more fruits and vegetables , plus feeding my own made up pellets mix, still manage to spend time just sat watching them,(before I know it, a couple of hours have gone by)

Have changed the big clean from wednesday to a Saturday, now nice and clean all of 5 minets. Tayberry, coralberry ,Tiger-Eye and Amber love troting on the floor after we remove the soiled puppy pads, they seam to like the sound of their little feet pitter-patting on the corex, their soo funny.The rest like to sit on the 2nd floor watching and wheeking at us to hurry up, as once we're done it's feed time, and lots of fresh hay.View attachment 101310View attachment 101311View attachment 101312View attachment 101313View attachment 101314View attachment 101315View attachment 101316

Wow, it looks spectacular. I've really enjoyed looking through all your pictures. Your piggies seem so healthy and contented! How many boar's do you have? They all seem to get on so well with all the space! You've given me a few ideas I can't wait until the summer when I can let my guinea pigs out on the lawn I take it you've had no problems with predator's/birds? I was thinking about purchasing a net to go over the top of the garden but I don't know how necessary that'll be with adult guinea pigs and supervision. I'm currently making my own indoor hutch for my herd of 5, trying to make it as big as possible! Thank you for the inspiration!
 
@teddymouse is a brilliant source of inspiration as well as information. She is such a lovely caring person who will help anyone and any animal and has so much love to give!:love::love::love: I can't wait until all this horrible pandemic is FINALLY over and pay her a visit. She only lives around 25 mins away from me. :dri:

Aww that's lovely 🥰 so nice that you guys live so close! It's hard to find knowledgeable guinea pig people! (Apart from on the forum) There's lots of cat and dog people, but guinea pigs bless them they are a vareity! They're very misunderstood and underappreciated! :)
 
I have 4 boars, 2lived in the Hutch till afew weeks ago, when Oakley trotted over the rainbow bridge, at 10 1/2. Years ,leaving Hermies with the 24 wifeletts. Peridot and Amber are the love piggies in the front yard. All boars are neutered, my set up is rare and unique. And full-time,
 
Winter is coming on fast, fluffed a bale on hay around "the Hutch " to start to build their bedding up,the mother and her 4 six week old babies (all girls) that l took in at the end of last week, have settled into the herd lovely, these were on top of the 4 pregnant sows and one bore, l took in 5 weeks ago, (Faith is taking care of Lavender and Sandies and their babies for now, did post pics of Lavender and Sandies babies,) still waiting on Blossom, she's a pancake!. Fallow 99% sure she's not pregnant. Fingers crossed. I still have several of the original piggies still living. Looking back over these posts,see the one that have gone over the rainbow bridge still makes me 😔
