Too loud?

OreoandMilo · Feb 9, 2020

My two little piggies live indoors. They live in a seperate room from anything else in the house. There room has a stable roof made out of polystyrene and some wooden beams- sorry I'm guessing- to support it. They have normal walls made out of brick, but are also covered in polystyrene. Today, the wind is quite loud and shakes the roof slightly and there is a slight drizzle of rain, which is quite loud in there room.
One of my little piggies was 'crouched' down and shaking slightly and I'm not sure if it was the loud noise. I've moved it in with the other piggy, but I'm not sure when I can bring them back in and the true cause of this shaking.
Suggestions?
P.S. Both my piggies are around 4 years old if that helps : )

Sorry I’m confused (tired

). Is their room properly roofed like the rest of the house, or it’s an outhouse of some sort? And do they usually live together or separate?

What’s the temperature of the room they’re in? Does it get any heating?

They usually live together and it's not an outhouse of some sort as the room is connected to our house. The room is properly roofed, but not with brick like the rest of the house. The top of the roof does have tiles, like the rest of the house, and the roof does seem sturdy. However, on this occasion of really heavy wind and rain, we have moved them into our rooms just in case.
Wind and rain is usually quite loud in the room that they are usually in. Any suggestions of why my piggy was shaking?

I am confused aswell. Could you try sending a photo. I personally think it’s best if your Guinean pug is in a well insulated safe place INDOORS. When it comes to cages you could do c and c or a wooden cage. My friend has hers in her room to free room at all times . They have a toilet area and water bowl . A few hides and any room can be your guinea pigs

There isn't a heating, although there are gaps for ventilation in case. However, we usually keep the door wide open during the whole entire day time so our piggies can get heat from the other rooms and half open during the night. We also put in a lot of hay all over there cage for extra snuggling. I'm not sure of the exact temperature, but it is usually a little colder than the house, which is usually around 17-20*c. We also take the piggies out everyday into the rooms we are in for half an hour. Is there anything I could do to improve?

It could be the rain or it could be too cold

My guinea pigs do live indoors and they have two hideys in there cage, both have plenty of hay put inside for warmth. I'm not sure how well insulated it is, but we always try our best to make sure that they aren't too cold. If it gets too cold, we bring them in a room with heating. Of course we don't put them right next to the heater. Anything suggestions that I could do to improve would be well appreciated

Maybe move them to a room which is more quiet and see if they stop shaking if not you might want to see a vet
