Hello everyone
My family and I are moving house and trying to find a house with our needs that can fit Guinea pigs properly may be a challenge (though we are still looking but Canada housing market is
). My parents refuse to let me have them in my room so I’m wondering if it’s possible to house them outside.
So my question is, how cold and hot can outdoors be for Guinea Pigs? In the coldest part of winter here, it can be very snowy or icy, and temperatures range from -25 to -18 degrees. Windchill makes it feel worse. Also the ground gets slushy and wet but idk if that affects anything.
In summer we can see up to around 30 degrees, but I think with global warming, things long term over the years could get more unstable. And we probably have more severe wildfires to look forward to which means more periods of bad air quality.
Is it even possible to make a weatherproof sort of outdoor hutch or other setup for them in this weather or should I avoid it? If it’s alright, are there any guides or other resources on how to get started?
