We love cute Guinea Pigs

We just love pictures of Guinea Pigs. Our own Guinea Pig is a cutie, but there’s so many out there we just had to put this one up here. We love how their ears droop.

We have just built our own Guinea Pig hutch because our daughter has got her own Guinea Pig now. Piggies name is Charlie, and he’s a cutie as well.

It wasn’t all that difficult but it has to be said that we started with a shed that was already there, so it was a matter of just modifying the shed.

We had to make sure that there was a good door on the new shed/hutch. It needed plenty of light to get through so Charlie wasn’t in the dark, so we made it with a large cutout in the door, but we also had to make sure that a fox couldn’t jump through the cutout.

That was achieved using chicken wire on the back of the door to cover the hole. No foxes for Charlie now.

Charlie now has the biggest hutch to run around in that he’s ever had. We got him from a friend who breeds Guinea Pigs and he used to be in such a small Guinea Pig cage before. Read the rest of this entry
