Whether you're a farmer, farm owner or animal lover, the right interior design of the guinea pig hutch is crucial for the well-being of your little friends. Here you will find everything you need to know about furnishings and suitable accessories.

The basics of hutch design

Before we get into the details, it's important to understand some basics. Guinea pigs are social animals that need plenty of space to feel comfortable. A well-designed hutch should provide enough space for movement, hiding places and resting areas.

The right size

A single guinea pig needs at least 0.5 square meters of space, but more is always better. For each additional animal, you should increase the size of the hutch accordingly.

Materials and safety

Use natural, non-toxic materials and make sure the hutch is safe from predators and the weather.

Essential furnishings

Now that we've covered the basics, let's take a look at the essential furnishings that no guinea pig hutch should be without.

Shelters and hiding places

Guinea pigs love to hide. Provide them with various shelters and caves where they can retreat. These can be made of wood, ceramic or non-toxic plastic.

Hay racks

Hay is an essential part of a guinea pig's diet. A hay rack keeps the hay clean and dry and encourages natural feeding behavior.

Water dispensers and food bowls

Make sure your guinea pigs have access to fresh water and food at all times. Water dispensers and food bowls should be easy to clean and fill.

Accessories for the guinea pig hutch

To make the hutch not only functional but also a cozy home for your guinea pigs, there are a variety of accessories you can add.

Toys and activities

Offer a variety of toys and materials to help keep them occupied. Tunnels, bridges or chew toys are great for preventing boredom and keeping the animals occupied.

Bedding and bedding

The right bedding is important for hygiene in the hutch. There are various options such as hemp, straw or special bedding for small animals that bind odors and are easy to change.
