Frequently Asked Questions
What do guinea pigs need in their home?
Guinea pigs need a spacious hutch or cage, soft bedding, a hideaway for each pig, fresh hay, water and a safe area to exercise. Runs and pens are ideal for daily time out.
Why are hideaways important for guinea pigs?
Guinea pigs are naturally cautious and feel safer with somewhere to hide. Hideaway houses and grass nests reduce stress and help them settle.
Can guinea pigs use a rabbit run?
Yes, a run designed for rabbits and guinea pigs gives them secure space to explore. Make sure it is placed in a sheltered spot, away from extreme heat or cold.
How many hideaways should I provide?
Ideally provide one hideaway per guinea pig, so each one has its own place to retreat and there is less competition.

Guinea Pig Accessories: Homes, Runs and Hideaways for Happy Cavies
Guinea pigs are gentle, sociable and full of character. They chatter, popcorn when they are happy and love routine, company and a strong sense of security. The right guinea pig accessories give them a safe home, room to explore and calm places to hide, which helps them stay relaxed, active and healthy.
Guinea Pig Hutches and Runs
Our Rabbit and Guinea Pig Hutch / Home offers a sheltered base for eating and sleeping, while our Run / Pen gives your guinea pigs secure space to graze, explore and stretch their legs every day. Guinea pigs need much more floor space than many people expect, so combining a hutch with regular run time is ideal. Browse guinea pig hutches and runs.
Guinea Pig Beds and Hideaways
Guinea pigs are naturally cautious and feel safest with somewhere to hide. Our guinea pig beds and hideaways include a cosy Guinea Pig Hideaway House and a Natural Grass Hideaway Nest that doubles as something safe to nibble. Offering one hideaway per guinea pig reduces squabbles and helps new pets settle more quickly.
Tips for a Guinea Pig-Friendly Home
- Keep them together: guinea pigs are herd animals and are happiest in pairs or small groups.
- Plenty of floor space: choose a home that lets them run, turn and explore freely.
- One hideaway each: every guinea pig should have its own place to retreat.
- Fresh hay and water daily: hay should make up most of their diet and must always be available.
- Temperature: keep them away from draughts, damp and direct sun; many owners bring guinea pigs indoors in winter.
