A guinea pig hutch is not only an investment in the health and well-being of your pet, but also a sign of your care and love.

Materials and construction: Which are the most suitable materials for a guinea pig hutch?

When it comes to the materials and construction of a guinea pig hutch, there are a few crucial factors to consider. Firstly, the durability of the material is important. Hardwoods such as beech or oak offer robustness and are resistant to gnawing by the small animals. It also makes sense to use non-toxic paints and varnishes to protect the health of your guinea pigs.

The design should also provide good ventilation to prevent mold growth and unpleasant odors. A well-designed room structure with different levels can also encourage the animals to move around.

It is also usually advisable to choose a guinea pig hutch with easy-to-clean surfaces. Rounded corners and removable floors can make it much easier to clean the hutch.

Sanilu attaches great importance to the quality and functionality of all materials and designs on offer. You can therefore rest assured that every guinea pig hutch from our range or from the configurator meets these high standards.

Guinea pig hutch - tips for the best location 

The right choice of location is crucial for the health and well-being of your guinea pigs. An optimally placed guinea pig hutch offers the animals protection from the weather, noise and other disturbances.

1. Lighting conditions: Make sure that the guinea pig hutch gets enough natural light, but is not exposed to direct sunlight. Too much heat can be stressful for the animals.

2. Air circulation: Good ventilation is essential to minimize moisture and bad odours. However, the location should be protected from draughts.

3. Safety: Place the hutch in a safe area, away from potential dangers such as predators or poisonous plants.

4. Accessibility: The guinea pig hutch should be easily accessible to make daily care and feeding as simple as possible.

5. Room temperature: An indoor hutch should be in a room with a constant temperature of between 18 and 22 degrees Celsius.

Sanilu not only offers high-quality guinea pig hutches, but also supports you in selecting the right model for your individual location with our guinea pig hutch configurator.

Guinea pig hutch - indoor vs. outdoor hutch: advantages and disadvantages of both options

When purchasing a guinea pig hutch, you basically have two options: an indoor or an outdoor hutch. Both options have their own advantages and disadvantages, which we will explain for you here.

Indoor guinea pig hutch

Advantages:

• Temperature control: Indoors, it is easier to maintain a constant and comfortable temperature for the animals.
• Safety: An indoor stable offers increased protection from predators and bad weather.
• Care: Daily cleaning and feeding is often easier to manage in an indoor stable.

Disadvantages:

• Space requirements: An indoor stable takes up valuable living space.
• Ventilation: You must ensure that the barn is well ventilated to minimize the accumulation of odours.

Outdoor guinea pig hutch

Advantages:

• Nature experience: The animals have the opportunity to get some fresh air and have direct contact with the ground.
• Space: As a rule, outdoor stables offer more space for the animals.

Disadvantages:

• Weather: You must winterize the barn and protect it from rain.
• Security risks: There is an increased risk of predator attacks.

No matter which variant you choose, Sanilu supports you with a wide range of guinea pig hutches. Our guinea pig hutch configurator will help you find the ideal model for your needs.

Care and cleaning: How do you keep the guinea pig hutch clean?

Regular care and cleaning of a guinea pig hutch is crucial for the well-being of the small rodents. Here are some tips and tricks on how to keep the hutch hygienic and clean.

Guinea pig hutch - Daily care measures

• Remove residual feed and excrement: Ideally daily to minimize unpleasant odours and the spread of bacteria.
• Provide fresh hay and water: Make sure your guinea pigs always have fresh food and water.
