Best Guinea Pig Hides: Tunnels, Houses and Fleece Forests
Guinea pigs need places to hide to feel safe. Compare wooden houses, tunnels, fleece forests and cardboard hides, with safety tips.
Why hides matter
Hides let guinea pigs rest without feeling exposed. In shared cages, enough hides prevent bullying.
Types
- Wooden houses with two entrances.
- Fabric tunnels and cosies.
- Fleece forests hung from grids.
- Cardboard boxes with cut doorways.
How many
Provide at least one hide per pig, plus one extra. Two exits stop a dominant pig from trapping another inside.
Avoid
- Plastic igloos in hot rooms.
- Hides with small single entrances.
- Hammocks high off the ground.
