| Re: Common Misconceptions about Guinea Pigs and their Care
Guinea pigs don't need a hidey house, and without one they will be less shy.
FALSE
All guinea pigs need a hidey house available to them at all times. Guinea pigs are prey animals and their instinct is to run and hide whenever something frightens them. Failing to provide a secure hiding place does not make a guinea pig more comfortable with people and will only cause unnecessary stress.
