Hi everyone, looking for lots of tips and advice for setting up my 6 x 4 shed for 2 Guinea pigs we have arriving next weekend. ![Smiling face with smiling eyes :blush: 😊](https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f60a.png)
Particularly looking for advice on insulation type, size of mesh suitable to keep mice and rats out and paints/wood preservatives which are safe for animals too. Any others advice gratefully recieved. I’ve done a lot of research but want to get it right the first time and ready for them arriving.
I was thinking to have them free roaming in the shed with hides for sleeping, how would I set up water bottles if doing so, I think I’ve seen stand along ones or perhaps could make a fixing to the shed wall? Or should I also have a small hutch inside the shed? Might be tight for space…
Thanks very much in advance,
