A Guinea pigs Habitat

 "Hello humans! This is Charlie and today I will be telling you what you will need if you get a Pig, pig like us!"

                                  Here is a list of what you will need . . .
                                                                      
  •    A House  It is important for us to have somewhere to hide and sleep.                                    

Sam saying "Leave me alone I am trying to sleep!"
  •  A bigger cage  We need a lot of space to run and play!             
  •  Another guinea pig of the same gender Some of us will get depressed if we don't have someone to play with! (Did you know its illegal to have only one of us in Sweden?
  •  Timothy Hay  we need it to be provided 24/7, otherwise our tummies will get upset!
                 (If you cant afford a bigger cage then we will need daily Floor time for exercise!)
                                                                     Toys                              
    If we have all of the above then we should be happy piggies, but some toys will help
    enrich our life!
Woody kindly showing us how a tunnel works.
  • Cloth Tents   These can be a big hit with us, I used to have one and i loved it!
  • Paper Bags A cheap toy simply cut some holes in the side for some piggy fun, throw away and replace when dirty.
  • Tunnels  Can be used as a hide-away or a chew toy, or simply something to run through
  •  Cozies We love to cuddle up in them! Sam loved his!
  •  Crumpled Paper Simple but we love to chew it 
  •  Baby Socks Stuff it with tissue, bedding, hay or cloth and it makes a comfy pillow! 
  •  Apple Tree Branches Must be untreated wood and have aged for 3 months. (Did you know that a guinea pigs teeth grow constantly like other rodents? So we must always have something to chew)
           A little imagination can go along way to make a piggy 
       happy! Just make sure we are safe with what you provide us!
       Well that is all I have for you humans today. Sam will bring
        you a safe food chart with veggies and fruits we can eat in the
                                          next few days!
