    I had rescue guinea pigs unbeknown to me they were pregnant I ended up a 26 of the lovely little munchkins. They lived outside I had many hutches but they had bolt holes and come and go as they please it was lovely walking outside in the morning to hear them squeaking asking to be fed and saying hello to me most of mine lived a very long life. My eldest lived till she was 10 I believe that’s because they had a natural living experience. When it snowed I tried to keep them in , they were having none of it and they would popcorn in the snow they were such lovely little pets and I really miss them.

    I used to have guinea pigs. They escaped in the garden and hung out with the chickens. They never left the garden, even though it was very easy for the too because we didn't have a fence, just a hedge as we were surrounded by fields. First few times we were quite worried because we weren't ever able to catch them but they soon got into the same habit as the chickens. They'd go to bed in their hutch when the chickens went into roost, they came out when we opened them up. And when we got ducks and quails, they all hung out together, and went to bed at the same time in their individual homes and runs. It was rather odd to see but amazing nonetheless

Never thought Cavies would understand those signals, like the chicken are accustomed to. I heard anecdotally, that keeping all black chickens fool hawks into thinking they are crows and they don't attack. If you attack a crow, as every hawk has learned the hard way, the entire crow community attacks you back. Thank you! Dank je!

      There is apparently no such thing as a wild guinea pig - even biologists aren't sure which wild cavies are most closely related to domesticated guinea pigs. Guinea pigs have been kept by humans for 2,000-3,000 years, so, like domestic cattle, pigs and sheep, they have been domesticated for so long that they are there own species due to human intervention and breeding.

      @@TheWoollyFrog Well I agree on the predetors. There is a high risk of them being hunted down. But otherwise they are looked after every evening. They are fed after a day of free foraging(where they can feed on Grass and Herbs) and seem to spend their nights in the security of their shed. The pure number of them may be concerning, because I ask myself how the people in the farm keep track on all of them and inspect for illness and Injury. This form of keeping surely has its own risks, but I'd prefer it anytime to a single Guineapig sitting in a tiny cage all day, eating nibbles, which is how a majority of pet-rodents in the western world spend their days.

      @@blackhagalaz That is not the right diet. They can't eat cooked food, grains are bad for them in the long run and the grass they forage is just regular lawn that offers few benefits. They are also at risk of parasites from that grass and soil. Then you have respiratory infections from inhaling dirt all day. And as you said, there is no way to inspect them individually. Doubt this person weights all 50+ of them weekly to notice any possible illnesses. They just wake up to a few dead ones once in a while and then decide to breed some replacements. So, I'll take cages over "nature" anytime if it means they live longer.

      Seeing as they are shy, food-driven domestic animals, they don't understand the concept of a cage. But you should understand the concepts of predation and disease if you actually adore guinea pigs.

    I was worried about hawks but thanks to this video for mentioning that they like to make tunnels in long grass. Before this video I was thinking how I can make lots of long tubes for them to hide while free ranging but now I realise the trick is to let the grass grow so they can make natural tunnels in it and the predators dont see them. I only have 7 girls and I dont want any to die in any nasty ways. I will make a path of long grass from their pen to the bamboo where they like to eat the bamboo leaves.

      The speed at which ours could rip around through their tunnels (without traffic in the way) was pretty impressive. The tunnels were in a mint patch about 20 feet x 30 feet, and one of them could dive in on one side and reappear on the other about two seconds later.

      ​@@bradsimpson8724 No it's to avoid predators. They are prey animals. They're generally not fast enough to outrun a predator, nor are they able to fight one off. So their main defense is numbers and awareness. This is why they travel in trains (vs. columns) and will pause if the leader pauses. If there's something like a snake hiding in the grass, by traveling over the same ground they minimize the chance of getting ambushed.
