Put our piggies in there new hutch last night and left them to it - this am picked them out and gave them the run of the garden which they always have anyway - put the ramp upto the new hutch and one has been in then back out - have put oodles of treats in it to lure them up the steps but its dicky dark now and they are still out roaming.... I dont think we have to many predators and there are plenty of hides in the garden but how am i going to get them in ever??? Have resided self to leaving them out tonight now but will check to see if in about 10pm so i can lockdown if they are,,,,, hmmm. Anyone any ideas?

did they come back? we don't give ours the run of the garden, as i don't think i'd ever see them again!

I lured them back into the old hutch then transfered them into the new one, got rid of the old one completely and kept them in for a good few hrs - after a very cold night outside i think charlie has now seen the error of her ways and sucumbed to her new home with lola - phew!!! They now come and go at will through the day and the new hutch is a sinch to clean and to access piggies for petting times. Its alot more open at the fornt than the other one so going to get a snuggle thingy to cosy them up a bit and make them feel a bbit safer.

Awee we used to let ours free in the day and back to small run at night when we lived in london.

I'm glad they're ok- a fox got our rabbit in London.

I LOVE guineas!
We have 11, in a walk in run with several hutches....
