Keeping guinea pigs and other small pets safe on Bonfire night (5th November)

Hi readers, really quick post today about keeping guinea pigs and other small pets safe on Bonfire night (5th November).

Give them boxes full of hay, straw or another warm safe material.
Have them indoors or in a shed/Garage(no cars!).
Stick to your normal routine.
Give lots of hiding places.
Act normal! They will suspect somethings up if you don't!
If free range shut them into one room or their cage.
Put the TV or radio on low to help drown out the noise. DON'T put on loud music!
If they live in hutches cover them with a thick rug/blanket to help drown out the noise(make sure fresh air can still get through so they can breathe).
I hope you find this useful,

Book Worm :)

The best housing for outdoor and indoor guinea pigs and storage for guinea pig supplies/ Old opinion

Image
Hi readers, as I have got another guinea pig I thought a new post on housing and storage was needed. Housing Many people, including me, keep their guinea pigs outdoors in hutches or indoors in small cages, however this is not enough but can be good in the warmer months (rare in the UK) but there are many more ways to house guinea pigs like C and C cages as well as many other types. 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
