I know the temperature is set to only top 12 degrees today but in the sun it feels like the perfect temperature. Can't help but think they'd benefit from having some fresh air as it's quite stuffy inside and humid. The temperature in my house has been varying from around 14 to 20 degrees recently but it has been feeling too warm for me even at 14/15 degrees as it feels so humid. Any advice would be appreciated :)
 
Its far too early in the year for them to be on grass, and any concrete will be very cold. It’s lovely and sunny here too, but the grass is wet and still muddy. The guide is if you can stand on the ground with bare feet and not feel wet and cold then they can go out.
 
I think it might be too cold and damp yet. I have heard that if you can be outside in a t-shirt and be warn enough it's warm enough for them, id say not yet especially if they are indoor pigs normally.
But someone more knowledgeable than me will come along in a minute I'm sure.

Can't wait for it to be warm enough for grass time! :)

Thank you both for your response! Thought it might be a bit too chilly! I cannot wait until it's warm enough for them. Won't be too long now! :)
 
You can always start getting them used to grass while it’s still too cool. I’ve given mine a small handful this week.
 
It’s lovely and warm in my garden and Posh and Ginger are out in the run! It’s sunny and sheltered, no wind and will do them the world of good while I clean out their cage and vac the room
