Junior Guinea Pig
Our piggies have been with us for four months and have a C and C cage in the spare bedroom. Unfortunately this has meant we can’t have people to stay. Even when they are freshly cleaned out, hay can be quite irritating (it took me a few weeks to be able to spend longer periods of time with them and I am not usually affected by allergies etc), plus the noise they make when zooming about, interacting or just using their water bottle.
So we would really like to move them but are a bit stuck as to where to. We would love to have them in the kitchen as they would get much more interaction with us and there is room. The problem is that it is South-facing (UK) and I have come home from work in the Summer to find it’s 27‘C in there. The other option is the living room but I don’t think they would like the noise of the TV (other half is a bit deaf and likes his films loud).
Really stuck because the spare room wouldn’t just be for guests, we‘d like to use it for hobbies etc. Though we love them, they are using a whole room up, if you like, plus they are rather tucked away (so we have to actively go and sit there to socialise them, which we do several times a day).
I have read the guidance on temperature and think the kitchen would be too hot, do others agree? I guess this wouldn’t be all year so we might try it for a while but I‘d be worried how warm it could get if we were at work one day and the weather changed.
