Wild mice visiting our piggies

[Ellie E]

I think that wild mice are getting in to our piggies hutch because there are mice droppings mixed in with the sawdust :o There is a little gap between the hutch doors and the frame and I think they are sneaking in through there.
Is this ok or are our piggies at rsk of getting diseases from these wild mice?

I would try and make sure that the mice can't come in as they can spread diseases and parasites.

I'd be worried about the mice too. At least it isn't a rat! One time we had our guinea pigs hutch and run on the same patch of grass for about a week, and a rat burrowed under the hutch and into the run. He had a stash of guinea pig food stored in the burrow! The poor guinea pigs were really frightened and one of my dogs kept staring into the run, and I couldn't work out what was wrong with them until my sister saw the rat! But we just moved the hutch and the dog and cat chased the rat away. My parents wanted to pour boiling water and bleach down the hole, but I wouldn't let them! Poor rat.
