    Several guinea pig enclosures were in need of repair: -The top enclosure in the northeast corner (upper building) housing young males had some loose wire with points exposed to the guinea pigs. -An enclosure in the northeast corner (upper building) had a loose latch which allowed 4 guinea pigs to get loose. -The bottom enclosure's floor in the southeast corner (upper building) was loose which allowed some guinea pigs to get out of it. -Points from screws holding the feeders in the lower building were exposed to the guinea pigs.
