We're still in a lull of pleasant days. The guineas can have a couple of grazing hours in the early evening.
But, it will change.
I need to clear out the small room for them in winter. I have a grid-shelf unit that I can customise to make an indoor pen. (Like C&C)
I'm eyeing up the garage if I need to give them alternative outdoor accomodation. It's got a concrete floor, bit dark, but it's safe with a power source and we can out their Rabbit Run in and fill it with hay and straw and cardboard IF they need to go glamping. (Usually a 10pm emergency evacuation when the roof of their shed was damaged or the NDN tree had a branch hanging dangerously near )
Stockpile hay for bedding. Pellets. Soft barley straw (at the back of their haybox, in newspaper)
Weigh them.
DH (techy type) set up a Spreadsheet on the PC to 'plot' their weights. We have nice kitchen scales and a large bowl.
The girls have steadily gained.
GP3 lost 2oz when he was bonded but he's gained it back (and an extra chin )
Piggies aren't good winter weather babies, they like a bit of cossetting
