Hey guys so todays blog post is a guinea pig routine. I always like to see other peoples guinea pig routine and see if there's anything I can add so I thought I will do my own so here to goes :) .
8/8.30am I open the guinea pig cover on their hutch and then I will feed them there nugget pellets from pets at home and then refill their water bottle and then pop it back.
12pm I will normal check to see if they are alright and then give them both a cuddle, if they need there nails cut then I would do it then give them a cuddle just to stop them feeling stressed out. And also I clean them out every week but I spot clean every other day.
4pm I will give them either a herbal forage or a dandelion forage but in the warmer months they would naturally get it from the garden and would spend most of their time grazing on the grass. I would also re-fill their hay racks up.
8pm It would now be Pastels&Cornwallis's tea time they would get their veggies now it can very each day but everyday they do have carrots. ( I will go more in detail on my next blog post)
I would also make sure everything is topped up and safe for the guineas to be put away at night. Then I would put down the green cover on the guinea pigs.
Sorry it short but I couldn't find the picture I took to go with this blog post but it had to go up as it was meant to be up ages ago! Oppsss....
But thank you for taking your time to read my blog posts it means a lot :) .

Guinea pig hutch tour!
Hey everyone it has been a while since I have posted . Sorry.
But I am back now and I thought I would start this year with a hutch tour , I was going to do a hutch and run tour but most of the run is all muddy and horrible so I thought I would save that for the summer.
Here is the hutch that Pastels and Cornwallis live in. So me and my dad built the hutch from scratch and it took about a year including the run. We decided to build one because we don't really like pet shop hutches as when I first got my guinea pigs they had a hutch cant remember where it was from but within a year the roof was coming off so we thought we better build one.
I took this picture last summer. I also forgot to mention that the run in attached to the hutch.
They have a massive green cover which goes down at night to help keep them warm during the colder months but in the warmer months we keep it up to stop them from over heating.
Lets start the hutch tour :)
So this is what the hutch looks like, lets see inside.
So first of all they have their living world water bottle. I bought it from pets at home.
Before you open up the hutch their are 3 locks all together two supporting the main door and one across the bed bit.
They have two willow sticks which they haven't touched but for Christmas they did have two gnawing blocks so I think they prefer them. The willow sticks are from pets at home again :).
The last thing in their hutch of course is there nibble food bowl from Pets at home.

Next they have a chew tunnel and they have quite literally chewed all of the inside most of the cardboard has gone and they have took a huge bit out of the tunnel at the front. They love this tunnel and it is from Wilko's (hopefully I have spelt it right)
They also have a hay rack. This isn't actually meant to be used as a hay rack but it works so well. So it is meant to be for the bathroom to put bits and bobs in I got it from B&M.
The last thing in their hutch of course is there nibble food bowl from Pets at home.
I don't know what happened to the door picture but this is there bed part of the hutch so it just lots of hay to keep them warm and also an orange igloo which they like to snuggle up in together but they do have more room at the front just cant really show you. Also they have a little square door which they get in and out the bed and main part of the hutch (hopefully that makes sense).
Thank you for taking time and reading what's inside their hutch when it starts to get warmer more towards spring/start of summer I will do a more detailed hutch and run tour as there will be more change happening in their run :) hope you like it I tried to be helpfully and tell you where everything came from.
