Do guinea pigs have a house in the wild?

In the wild, guinea pigs mainly shelter during the day in old burrows made by other animals. They sometimes dig a hole themselves. When the animals come out of their den, they often follow each other in a train and avoid open areas. Guinea pigs don't like it when their enclosure is too open. They like many hiding places such as tunnels and houses. In the wild they often walk through vegetation such as tall grass and bushes.

Did you know?
Guinea pigs that have a good relationship with each other can still choose to sleep separately from each other? It differs per guinea pig how they interact with each other, this can vary greatly.

Should every guinea pig have its own house?

We advise to give each guinea pig its own house and to place one larger house in the enclosure where they can possibly sit together. It differs per guinea pig, but the animals can be quite dominant over their house. If there are not enough houses in the enclosure, the animals may quarrel about a house. To prevent this, several houses for the guinea pigs are recommended.

What Types of Houses Are There for Guinea Pigs?

In addition to ready-made houses, willow bridges, plateaus and tunnels can be very nice as a shelter for the guinea pigs. The willow bridge can be bent into many different shapes and the animals can also nibble on it.
