Maisy and Poppy
Adult Guinea Pig
Hi,
I have two guinea pigs Maisy and Poppy who are both sows and 1 year 2 months old.
I have the rose cottage hutch from pets at home which is 2 storey, 150 cms long , has one large sleeping area and it is basically the same as Aymee's.
How many guinea pigs could live in the hutch ? How many guinea pigs could live in it if it was attached to a large run?
I would have as many guinea pigs as possible but my parents say one more guinea pig more max.
One of my Mum's friends has two sows guinea pigs, around 9 months, who live outside. Their hutch has a thermal cover and is roughly 100cm long and 2 levels.
Her friend has three kids who I would say are are 8, 5 and 3. Their Mum does all the work and the guinea pigs never get handled and are so skittish even though they have had them for 8 months.
Their Mum threatened to rehome them and they didn't fuss!
So basically they invited me round to see their piggies and the Mum was so impressed at how I looked after mine she asked me to take on hers. My Mum said I could only take one but it seemed a shame to split them up as my girls would bully her.
Then I looked on pets4homes and I saw a brown crested boar free to a good home because he and his brother were fighting. I don't want him to go to a bad home as he is free so if ai get him I would neuter hoping to go with my girlies.
If one of your piggies were neutered can you give me as much info about the topic as possible please and links would be very useful.
Which option do you think would be best? Getting a sow or a boar to be neutered.
Thanks very much,
Emily X
