This is a guinea pigs favorite past time. There are many types of guinea pig runs for sale you must decide which is most convenient for your needs. Always use a covered run so as to keep your guinea pigs safe from predators such as cats, dogs, foxes and large wild birds.
Unlike rabbits guinea pigs do not dig holes in the lawn and tunnel out. The guinea pig run should be placed over an area of grass that has not been soiled by other animals and not had any chemicals used on it and situated so that at least part of it is sheltered from direct sunlight on a hot day. A couple of water bottles should be fixed to the side of the run when being used.
And remember
