[Gpdd] CARE hiding house

[Bellarobi at aol.com]

First of all I'd like to that everybody for their great responses to my 
bedding questions. It really helps to get the opinion of others, and I was 
reassured about storing the bedding in my garage.

Ann, about the hiding houses,
I know of people that do not use a hiding house for guinea pigs, does it make 
them tamer? I don't know. I also have taken the houses away from my guinea 
pigs, but gave them back after a couple of days. I observed that both of my 
piggies prefer the house. It makes them feel comfortable. As far as I know, guinea 
pigs flee by nature, so for them to run quick into the house before they get 
picked up is a matter of instinct more or less. That's the way I see it. Once 
I get them out of their houses they are fine. Poly licks my hands when I pet 
her, and Sweetie "talks" non-stop. They also run after me for treats and want 
to nibble on my shoes. I believe in keeping pets as close to their natural 
habitat as possible---therefore, mine will have plenty of hiding places.

best wishes,
Marion, Poly and Sweetie
