temperature

Hi Is 14C okay for indoor pigs please? I have two pigs with health issues. One with probably IC, other is awaiting more scans, looks like a lump in uterus but we are having pain squeaking. My bedroom is the coldest room in the house and I don't have any control over the heating. Heat pads...

Hi! My Guinea pigs have recently gone back outside ( back out for my older girl but first time for my younger two) and I was wondering if anyone has any recommendations for wireless cameras for me to put in the hutch so I can keep an eye on them? Also please if anyone has any outdoor...

I know, I know, it's currently the middle of summer and is lovely and warm. But I want to make sure I've got things ready for my piggies for when it starts to get colder. I have two guinea pigs who share a wooden hutch and live outside. In previous years we have brought their hutch into the...

I need to bathe my guinea pigs in imaverol due to ringworm. But I'm unsure of what temperature the water should be please? The internet says test it with your elbow to check it's not too warm or too cold. But what's too warm or too cold please? I don't want to overheat them or freeze them.

Sorry for asking so many questions just want to be prepared, I’m wanting to put my 2x4 c&c cage on the floor next to a window, I know there’s a concern for drafts but there isn’t a draft coming from the window and I’ll have a blanket underneath the cage and they will have fleece bedding & hideys...

Hello, I have 3 guinea pigs who I currently keep in my garage but bring outside during the summer day, I have them a run and hutch, the hutch is two story and have filled with substrate to keep them warm however I still move them inside during nights, as it’s getting warmer I was thinking of...

Hi everyone! Just wanted some advice/answers to a couple of questions. Firstly – hay. I give my two girlies loads of hay every day, in two different places, and also in a hay rack. I read that guinea pigs won’t eat hay that they’ve gone to the toilet in, but my girls seem to just go to the...

I have two 1 and 1/2 year old male guinea pigs, my garage is currently being redone so we can’t bring them in and my parents don’t want them in the house! It is -3 degrees outside and the snow is up to my knees, the hutch is on top of a run so I’m not worried about the snow hitting them but I’m...

Hi all, I have two lovely female piggies who I acquired earlier this year. They live outdoors, in a two level hutch that has mesh over 3/4 of the front, and then a 'bedroom' area with wooden walls all the way around so it's a bit more enclosed. I've been bringing them indoors when the...

Hello, my Piggy is 2months old (and he's single for now, hopefully we'll get him a companion soon). Since we live in a building, unfortunately we can't take him outside but we give him some floor time on balcony where he runs around and hides. His cage is also on the balcony and there weren't...

So I know that this question has been asked a lot before but still need to ask it again. On what temperature can I wash the fleece? I live in The Netherlands so we use Celsius temperature. Hope that someone can help me out!

Hi very simple question, and I know you're going to give me the perfect 65-75 degrees Fahrenheit but i need to know if worse comes to worse what is TOO cold for a single, long haired, indoor guinea (also too hot if you will). :luv:Please and Thank You!:luv:

Does anyone else on here feel guilty when the pigs can't go outside? I don't know why I feel so guilty ! As they have down time on the carpet in the spare room . Also does anyone know the lowest temperature they can go outside in? For example some places I've read 10 degrees and some places it's...

So, I live in Alberta, Canada and the weather can be pretty harsh in both summer and winter. In winter it can get down to -30 C (-22 F) and in summer it can get up to 30 C (86 F), though the temperature is usually around -12 C (10 F) in winter and about 20 C (68 F) in summer on average. I am not...

With nicer weather, hopefully, on the way, I am thinking about my shed and the sun. I have already sourced shade cloth to fix over the windows to block direct sunlight (my shed is in sun for a few hours in the daytime) but I am looking for an accurate and reliable digital thermometer which I can...

hi, I was wondering at what temperature at night people start to use their heat pads? I have read through lots of threads but can't see a temperature that people start to use it by? My piggies are in an outside hutch in a sheltered part of the garden and will be throughout winter. They have...
