Answer 2

i would make sure you have no were to escape and let them run around in your room  put some fruit and veg in corners of the room and if u have a tunle or any think for them to play with put it in the middle of the room  make sure thers a bowl of water  

Answer 3

I used to have three and they loved to go out in the garden, but didn't wanna come back in again! If you let them run free make sure that it is secure and theres no way they can escape, they will get through tiny gaps in fences. Otherwise, get them some toys, tunnels etc. You can also get harnesses so you can take them for walks! Mine never liked this, preferred to run free!

Answer 4

If you're going to set them loose outdoors then try to set up some temporary walls so that they can't run off. They love to eat the grass on the lawn so if you're clever you can have you're own organic lawnmower!

If you're doing it indoors then just close all the doors to the room you are in and you've got yourself a temporary pen! Don't have any electrical cables lying around as they might try to chew through them resulting in a shocked(!) guinea pig.

Mine were happy to just sit on my lap whilst I watched tv on the sofa but could only hold their bladders for about 40 mins so don't have them out for too long or you might get a nasty surprise!

Let us know how it goes

Answer 5
