With rain all day every day, I realized that some drainage improvements were needed in the guinea pig enclosure . Today I spent a good portion of the day adding better drainage and new industrial rubber mats to keep the guinea pigs clean, dry and happy! The mats are very expensive, however I found them new on Facebook marketplacešļæ¼
Iāve already received hate from someone about letting our guinea pigs go outside at all and Iām not interested in hearing anymore. I promise you the proof is in 80+ guinea pigs being adopted out and not a single one reported a health problem. They are happy babies. Their door is always open to come inside into the AC or heat whatever the case might be. I guess some people will just need to trust me that Iām on top of things š¤·š»āāļø But thatās a story for another time. š¤£ļæ¼ļæ¼
Purpose of my post⦠First I just wanted to show off what I did because while all of the guinea pigs were inside and enjoying the 77° air conditioner I was outside picking up 50 pound bags of rock and busting my tail in 90 degrees. Just a few āHey that looks great!ā would help my feelings. Lol also the guinea pigs are worth it.
Also, several of their plastic houses that they use outside have gotten brittle because theyāve been outside for over a year. I was hoping that maybe some people would have extras or could keep an eye out at yard sales and flea markets for us. We need the large ones big enough for guinea pigs and rabbits, not hamsters. Theyāre kind of pricey to buy new on Amazon, but I will do what I have to do. As always, thanks for the support. š¾ļæ¼
