Hi there. I have run into logistical problems with my guineas now that it has come to preparing for winter. We got a pair of baby boars back at Easter time but unfortunately had to separate them after a couple of months when they began fighting to the extent of injury. At that point we bought a double hutch which lives in the garden, and a large run which we divided with grids, so that they can see one another and interact, but are not able to fight and hurt each other. This has worked really well all summmer.
I had always been planning to house them indoors during the winter (didn't tell dh that at the time, lol, he mistakenly thinks they're staying outside!), and I have space for a 5 x 2 c&c type cage - yet to be built but I'm working on it. However, now that they have been separated, somehow I need to be able to divide the space. Having said that, I don't really want either guinea pig to be cramped - I think 5x1 each would be too small, what does everyone else think? Obviously I could just put 2 5x2 cages on top of one another in the same floor space but I can't help thinking that would make the bottom one very dark. Has anyone got any better suggestions for how I could do it? and pictures if possible please!
thanks,
Sarah.
