Well with that shelter my theory of guinea pigs has gone out of the window .
Now I have a horrible feeling she might be getting Kune Kune pigs. They are a small breed of pig that eats grass and (often) doesn't dig*. They are very friendly, hairy (she might think furry - who knows what she thinks), they can eat hay (although ideally they should graze for much of the year** and they love to snuggle up in a deep bed of straw. They can be very noisy especially if they think you are going to feed them. And pigs cannot be fed any kitchen waste or any food coming out of a kitchen unless it is a vegan kitchen.
* they will dig if there is no grazing
** there is no way that area will give them enough grass to happily graze
As for the base of the shelter putting a tarpaulin then topping it with bark and straw is a terrible idea. If it it pigs they will likely snuggle down deep and damage the tarpaulin and whilst pigs generally don't mess in their house they will if they are shut in (this shelter has a gate) and cleaning it out won't be easy with a tarpaulin base.
