We are guinea pig newbies - we’ve had our first 2 rescue boars for 2 months and are learning as we go!
Now the weather’s starting to warm up we want them to have some run time outdoors but there seems to be a lot of do’s and don’ts and we want to make sure we do it right for the piggies. We’ve bought an outside play pen, a 6x2 C&C one. No lid but my husband is going to make one out of garden bird net. We don’t plan on leaving them outside for very long periods, as our garden is not massively secure so we’ll always be out there with them. Is some kind of lid still essential?
Is there anything else we need to know. Temperature? Can they go on wet grass or must it be bone dry? Is there anything on the lawn they shouldn’t eat? Can they be in direct sunlight? We have a south facing garden so lots of sun when it’s out, but as I say we only plan on putting them outside for short bursts. Any help and advice gratefully received!
