[Gpdd] [CARE] Experience of multi storey hutches with guinnea pigs

[Rebecca Jones]

Hi All
 
After much debate I have finally got my 6 year old Rex Daphne 3 new little cagemates.  Only got them on Sunday so they are still segregated with them in half the hutch and Daphne in the other with a mesh divider between so they can smell each other, but not bite.  If anyone has experience of introducing a six year old to babies I would appreciate some tips and advice as I want to get this right.
 
Down to my main reason for writing.  I currently have a 48 inch by 18 inch hutch which I keep indoors.  This was OK for two gps but will not do for 4.  Babies grow up fast and 4 adults will need a lot of space.  I am limited in actual floor space so making a bigger enclosure like the C&G ones is not an option and I don't want to have to split them into separate hutches so have been looking at either a two or three storey hutch with the ramps.  I was wondering if anyone on this list kept their gps in one of these as I am not convinced that they will handle the ramps well.
 
If you have had any experience of keeping gps in these multi storey type homes, whether it be good or bad I would be very grateful to hear from you.  I am hoping to go out at the end of this week to look at the options so any advice would be much appreciated.
