Temperature fluctuating

[Ramia]

We have cold nights and warm days so temp in house went from 67 to 74 today. Is that ok for the pigs? It's 23 Celsius

I think it is - I usually keep my house at 20C but slightly warmer (22C)now I have a skinny pig
You don’t really want big fluctuations in temperature as piggies struggle to adapt

If you feel your piggies' ears you can get a rough idea of whether they are chilly or not. Putting a box of hay or more insulated bed in their cages when the temperature goes down could help. Polo likes a bit of extra insulation and then lies outside his house once he is warm enough. If the temperature changes very steeply though their room might need a bit of heating. Truffle isn't very interested in snuggle safe pods unless it is very cold, but Polo will happily cuddle up to one if it is chilly

I actually thought they seemed a little hot when it was 23 because it was the first warm day. But it gets even a little warmer in there in the summer but it's usually gradual and they get used to it.

I have air conditioning but usually don't turn it on till it's 77⁰.

I deploy Scratch and Newton cooling pods in Snuggle Safe covers if it gets downright hot

I agree - sudden and big fluctuations are where they struggle most.
They are generally comfortable at the same temperatures as we are - around 18-22 degrees with over 25 being too hot. Humidity plays a factor just as it does for us too
