Why I'm getting another guinea pig

Hi readers, I'm sure you will have read in my recent post that I'm getting another guinea pig, so I thought I should probably tell you why!

When I first got a guinea pig (Patches), she was all on her own so I decided to get another one (Bramble) a few days later. This didn't go too well but they did eventually get along, but they still squabble. Now I saw a neutered male teddy guinea pig at a local country park's Easter farm and I fell in love with him, as he was easy to pick up and was very calm when I held him. I emailed the person who runs the rescue to see if I he was up for adoption and they replied YES, so I will pick him up on the 14th April after he is finished at the farm. The reason I'm getting a castrated male is to help Bramble and Patches get along better. To house them, I am joining two hutches together as the current one isn't big enough for three. They are hopefully going to be joined by a hard plastic tunnel that can be taken out to move the hutches. He is going to be called Teddy Bear.

I hope you are looking forward to seeing some pictures of Teddy Bear,

Book Worm :)

The hutch facts H utches are normally small with no room for guinea pigs to run around once they've got a food dish and few toys. Some hutches are large and spacious and have a run attached(like mine). You can build hutches and this is a good option as it can be cheaper but can be a lot of hard work. C and C cage facts C & C cages are brilliant indoor options and can be suited to the space in the home or outbuilding. C&C stands for cube grids and coraplast. Cube grids can be expensive but don't really need replacing after you've got them. Coraplast or Correx is corrugated plastic ...
