After spending the last few years building all the rabbit enclosures, we decided that this year we would like to improve our Guinea Pig's lives too. They all have large hutches etc, but we wanted to give them more space to roam, so decided on a guinea pig village.
We have a huge garage (used to house a coal truck!) that is used as indoor accommodation for the pigs in winter, and for any buns not strong enough to live outside. We decided to use a couple of the stables to create GP villages....here is the first one....
This shows the school, the church, the greengrocers and the new house added this week....
The Post Office and the beauty parlour...(bit blurry - sorry!)
The village trough being used by some of the 12 residents....
I've finished painting the walls and hutches today, and am now working on the second stable for a smaller group...
Just to add this hasn't cost hardly anything to make - I've made all the houses from pieces of wood that have been recycled from other things at the rescue, and I've raided my hubbies paint store for all the paint!
The piggies absolutely love going in and out of all the houses (they have 2 or 3 openings in each house) and spend far more time in the open than they previously did
I hope you like!!
