I would still put them out, gives them sometime out the hutch, exercise and foraging. A pair of mine would always hide when I put them in the run, but by the time I put them back in their hutch they had nicely mown the patch of grass that was in their hidey castle house.

Lol, they dont like the guinea poo on their grass much tho! lol. I have to sweep up as well as I can!
We have a big field but it worries me that they are out of the way when I have them there.

It sounds like all their needs are being taken care of with you. They don't need to be handled, that bit is just a nice bit for us as we own the animal and like to give them a fuss. If you have enough time to care for all the animals you have then i would keep them and enjoy them. If you feel that you are getting pushed for time to do all the daily chores then find them a new home.
As for letting them in a run our piggies go out everday if the weather is ok. They hide some of the time and come out for the rest and enjoy getting to eat fresh grass .

Heidi, I wouldnt worry too much I think winter is getting the better of us all at the min. I'm sure come summer when our energy levels are higher and the evenings longer you'll be spending more time with them. Sounds like they have lovely big homes and a friend they wont want for much more.

Am sorry to disagree with everyone hun but presuming the piggies in question are the ones from the pics on ur sig then it is quite clear they are far too cute.....i mean abused and will be removed with instant effect into my lap...i mean care!!!!

No I agree with everyone else for what it is worth. A lonely piggy needs a lot of human attention but a piggy with company doesn't need it! And you have to wonder whether they would get the same level of dedication elsewhere. The fact you have asked this shows just how much you care.

Yeh they are the ones in my sig They are far too cute. Ben and Roma are at the top and Sidney and Luna at the bottom. The girls are sisters and I had hoped to have all 4 togther but the boys hate each other so 2 pairs.

It would worry me that they would go somewhere where they could end up worse off. I do care about them, and I think you have to do whats best for them and not just for me, hence the question.
I think they will be staying put
