Jesse has to move us into the shed...she doesn't want to but her mum says we have to because we weren't meant to be indoor piggies. Crazy I know @)
She will make sure we are cozy and warm. x) But she is worried about us missing her as we won't be round her and in the house as often.
She is thinking of getting an indoor cage so we can come inside
Hope this will make all of us feel better ^)
 
Do make sure they are warm, particularly if you're currently keeping them indoors. The temperature difference in moving them outside (unless it's heated a shed isn't much warmer) at this time of year can trigger illness.
 
What I do I use hot water bottles as I keep mine in garage through the winter. I buy the cover for the bottles and put it next to their house. You have to be carefully with its temp but if you put the cover on it should be ok. My piggies cuddle up to it:)
 
Oohh we like the sound of a hot water bottle :)
We were living in the, garage and were very happy.
The shed smells wierd but its roomy for our floor time
Thank you for the advice about the water bottle vitka
 
A snugglesafe would be less risky than a hot water bottle, which can leak and do not hold heat well and go cold.
 
I've just bought 2x snuggle safes as they stay heated at a constant temp for around 6hrs. I found them on a shop on eBay for £13 each which is cheaper than any shops I've seen them in. Also an animal charity down South sells them on eBay or amazon for £8 but they are medicinal heat pads for nursing animals. They work in the same way and keep warm for a few hours. So I got one to try as my gpigs have come in but they are for my rabbits who have stayed in our shed. I have also bought them a hutch hugger and a hutch snuggle from scratch and newton too as well as bottle Warmers so they should be verrrry warm! I have switched bedding to auboise with the t-bag bedding/fitch on top which makes it super cosy and keeps their feet dry and warm. I'm conscious that when they pee their bedding gets wet and that makes it vey cold and I read somewhere it can even freeze! So try and keep them clean as much as you can :-) there is lots of advice on bedding me housing here on the forum tho, I spend many an hour whilst cuddling my lot just reading all of the threads and swatting up lol x
