Yesterday I had all my piggies in their outdoor hutch so they could eat the grass down. I had just gotten 5 more that morning.
I chucked the new ones right into our outdoor hutch and watched them for a few minutes to make sure everything was going fine and there were no fights. Everyone was fine so I went inside and had lunch. When I came back out the cage had been ruined and all my guinea pigs (12 in total) were out
and this massive brown dog who had been hanging around our house a few days before was running off down the driveway, My mum was looking at it through the kitchen window and she thinks it had something black in its mouth, lets pray it was either a chicken or nothing at all. I have managed to round up 8 of my pigs but 4 are still missing, a black sow who was pregnant(new), a baby one(new), my boar and a brown pregnant sow. We have 5 acres and a BIG garden so they could be anywhere. Right now I think they are either under the house or in the garden. I'm HOPING they will return to our hutch because that is where the other guinea pigs are and the food is. so far there is no sign of them but if anyone has any useful methods on how to catch them I would really really appreciate it. I'm really worried about them, the black sow was due to have her babies next week and the baby guinea pig was only about a month old. 
thankyou

We've been scattering some of their food around the cage but they havn't shown themselves while I've been around. I'll try your idea Jen. We most definetly will be calling the ranger on the dog, he went to my neighbours house and killed a few of her chooks too! When I see the owner of that dog she had better watch out! We had to put one of our young guinea pigs down because the dog actually broke it's(the guinea pigs) leg!
