Please bring your outdoors piggies inside or under cover for the winter NOW!

I have a two tier hutch and most of the time my piggies are on the bottom tier. They do go "up ramp" for some time out. Usually it's Betsy when things get a bit much for her (she has cataracts) and Dennis follows her (she is the love of his life and vice versa)

My piggies are tucked up in their playhouse with LOADS of hay. I also put my rabbit in a cage in the playhouse because it's too cold for him to stay in his hutch

Mine are in a c and c in a shed. I put the snugglesafe in there and filled it with hay. We are getting electric put in the shed soon so we can get a heater put in there. Will this be ok?

As long as you can get the heat in there as soon as possible and in the meantime do everything you can to create some insulation around and over part of the cage. Have you got a thermometer in the shed as they is really the only way to have any idea whether it is ok for them? It’s much harder to keep c&c warm outside than it is a hutch.
My two live in a shed, they live in a hutch in there but there are also c&c grids surrounding the hutch to create an indoor playpen but I just can’t keeep the c&c area warm enough so they can only go into the play area on warm sunny day.

I haven't got a thermometer in there yet. My dad said we can put a fan heater in there using an outdoor extension lead for now as it is quite cold overnight.
