Hi,

We bought DSS 2 guinea pigs for his birthday. We are keeping them here at the moment and TBH I want to keep them here forever (I'm in love!!) but my concern is this: We have their hutch currently in the garage. We don't have a car in there, it's just like an extra junk room, but my concern is there is no natural light in there unless we have the garage door open.

The problem with keeping the garage door open is that I have to then keep the door to the house closed, so my cat can't get out the front, but then anyone could steal stuff from the garage and I wouldn't hear them..

Also what if we were to be out all day, the guinea pigs would be in the dark all day. We could leave the light on, but it's not the same..

We do get them out of their hutch and play with them on our laps etc, but is that enough exposure to natural light? How much natural light do guinea pigs need?
