Guinea Pig Run

If the hutch or cage does not allow the guinea pig access to the grass then purchasing a "guinea pig run" (a wooden frame with wire mesh sides and no floor) is a good idea to allow the guinea pig time to exercise and feed on grass.

The guinea pig run should be placed over an area of grass that has not been soiled by other animals and not had any chemicals used on it and situated so that at least part of it is sheltered from direct sunlight on a hot day. A couple of water bottles should be fixed to the side of the run when being used.
