A hidey hut provides your guinea pig with a safe and cozy space to retreat to when they need privacy or want to feel secure. It’s essential for their mental well-being and helps reduce stress.

It’s advisable to use pee pads and change them daily. Additionally, remove hay and droppings daily to keep the accessories clean and hygienic.

To properly clean your guinea pig’s hidey huts, beds, and tunnels, place them in a washing machine with normal laundry detergent, ensuring to use a laundry bag for extra protection. Select a gentle wash cycle and set the temperature to 40 degrees Celsius to prevent damage and avoid shrinkage. Avoid using fabric softeners. After washing, reshape them while they are still damp to maintain their original form, and allow them to air dry, avoiding the use of a dryer.
