Hi.
After 10 lovely years of keeping guinea pigs it is now time to pass on all the paraphernalia. We kept our piggies (2 first time, 3 second time) indoors mostly and in the summer put them out during the day under a fox proof chicken wire cage (rotted away now), in which they had a small hutch to retreat to, included here, or sleep the whole day if they felt like it.
The bundle....
A large pen/run made from sign makers correx or coroplast corrugated plastic sheet. We placed this on a yellow fleece so the laminate floor did not get scratched. Inside we placed 2 layers of newspaper then some sort of fibrous bedding (Bliss (some included), or Megazorb, Aubiose, shredded card etc), then hay, or you can use straw for bedding and then feed hay. Around the plastic floor pan goes a fence of 14 inch square metal mesh panels. Inside were three different sizes of huts home made from durable black HDPE (functional chew resistant and easy to clean), 2 bottles + 1 for outside + 1 nugget bowl etc etc...
Items...
* Yellow fleece floor cover.
* Indoor pen floor size variable length upto 210cm x 68cm x 18cm h. It is showing its age but still very functional, it is heavily stained, it is in two overlapping pieces for adjustable length. You can have this or buy a new sheet of corrugated plastic and make your own.
* 20 panels of 14" black coated metal grid fence + some fixings and feet.
* Pile of broadsheet newspapers, the perfect width.
* 1/3 bag of Bliss bedding.
* 1 big old plastic bag, useful when cleaning out for transporting old bedding to the bin.
* 2/3 bale of meadow hay in a duvet cover.
* 2 room hut. Rooms internal 46x23xh16cm. External 48x48xh16cm. Door widths 12cm.
* 1 small room hut. Internal 24x19xh17cm. External 25x20x18. Door width 12cm.
* 1 large room hut. Internal 44x26xh17cm. External 45x31xh17cm. Door width 12cm.
* 1 Indoor shelter roof 65x27cm, to lounge under and observe the humans while feeling safe from eagles.
* 1 600ml drink bottle.
* 2 320mm drink bottles.
* Some cotton buds for cleaning bottle spouts.
* 1 nugget bowl.
1 bag of Science Selective balanced food nuggets.
* 3 "Cuddle cups" for keeping your clothes clean while hugging your piggies. Home made fleece top with water/wee proof under, not so wee proof any more.
* 1 outdoor hutch of 4 guinea pig size rooms, for day / short term use inside a secure cage/run/pen. The hutch is made from durable black plastic LDPE board with a removable roof of white painted perspex over plywood with thumb clips at each end. Rain proof but need shade from the sun as black plastic gets hot. Piggies need shade too and don't like temperatures above 20 deg C ish!!!. Its kept outside all year when not in use. The entrance porch is 11cm wide and the 4 rooms are each 26x19.5cm. Internal ceiling height is 15 to 22cm. External including the porch and roof overlap 65L x 59w x 28h. We do not recommend this as a permanent outdoor hutch, its too small.
That's the lot. Enjoy :)
