Has anyone got a special interest in Guinea Pigs and wants to share?

Hello,

I am in the process of researching guinea pigs before I buy two. Lots of the information I have found is quite scattered and not to the autistic level of detail that I love and need.

I am looking to keep them mainly outside and have done lots of research to double check the viability of this for the summer and winter months. I now have a plan for how I can make sure they don't get too hot/cold (I live somewhere with a mild climate).

However everything beyond that and knowing I need to get more than one I am finding it hard to know the exact detailed level of instructions I need to follow. I am getting lost in forums talking about different types of hay, even trying to understand what best to line the floor of a hutch with, what is the best enrichment activities for them etc

If there is anyone that is passionate about Guinea pigs and would enjoy generously sharing about what I need to make sure I can be totally prepared before I get some from a rescue I would really appreciate it. I truly believe that there is no one better than an autistic person with a special interest - I would trust them with my life!

Thank you :)
