This video is about free-range guinea pigs or using guinea pigs as natural lawn mowers!
Since making this video, I've moved to the midwest.
My guinea pigs are my pets that live in my house during the cold winter (they don't have the ability to dig burrows and wouldn't survive the cold) and they live in a shed in the summer with access to my yard. Much like free-range chickens. They come when I call them, and go to bed each night in their shed. Then in the morning, I let them out. I do the same with my chickens.
As I mention in the video, guinea pigs are prey animals and are easy prey to many predators, so please use cation if you are considering trying this. A lovely solution would be to use a chicken tractor! You can easily move it each day so that the piggies have fresh grass, but they would be protected from the elements and predators.
