As with all small pets, guinea pigs will need to be housed securely away from any other pets in the home.
Guinea pigs can make lovely pets for all the family, they are loveable and charming little animals.
Guinea pigs can live indoors or outside; they enjoy having plenty of time on the grass grazing during good weather days. The ideal accommodation for a pair should consist of a 5ft by 2ft (152cm by 61cm) hutch or indoor cage and a 6ft long by 4ft wide by 18 inches high (183cm by 122 cm) wooden framed run with a removable/hinged lid for the grass.
