Whilst some owners opt for traditional wooden hutches, many owners are choosing to give their pets a modern alternative which is well insulated and easy to clean. We offer a new and innovative housing option for guinea pig owners, which is easy to use, hygienic, and safe.
Eglu Go Guinea Pig Hutches come with a guinea pig run attached, which is a great place to put your guinea pigs whilst you’re cleaning their hutch. Cleaning these hutches takes just a few minutes, leaving you more time to spend with your pets. Before you clean your Eglu Go, you’ll need to take your guinea pigs out of it and make sure they’re in a safe enclosed space - if the ground isn’t frozen or wet, one easy option is closing the Eglu’s front door whilst your guinea pigs are in their run. Once your guinea pigs are safely outside, open the back of the Eglu and slide out the bedding tray. Simply tip the old bedding into a waste bin or compost bin, then give the tray a quick spray with a disinfectant and a wipe-down with a cloth. The Eglu Go flooring doesn’t absorb moisture like traditional wooden hutches, so it’s far easier to clean and therefore is more hygienic. Once the floor has been cleaned, you can just slide the floor back into the hutch and line it with newspaper and hay, or some form of paper wool bedding. Then you can replace their food, and shut the back of the hutch. Finally, twist the handle at the top of the Eglu Go to reopen the front door, and allow your pets to rush back in and enjoy their clean home.
More traditional wooden hutches will need their bases lined with newspaper for insulation, as well as an area to place your guinea pigs in when you’re cleaning their bedding and feeding areas. Make sure your guinea pigs are in a safe, enclosed area such as a box with a reinforced, taped-up base and plenty of small air holes. Remove the newspaper and bedding from the hutch and put it in your compost bin, then use a dustpan and brush to sweep any droppings or soiled hay out of the hutch. If there are any areas that have hardened droppings in, then some form of scraper will be useful at this point. Use a guinea pig disinfectant spray for the inside of the hutch (paying particular attention to the corners), and leave for a minute or two to dry. Place fresh newspaper and bedding, and repeat the process for the guinea pigs’ feeding area.
