i need some help i've put my guinea pigs out in there hutch this morning with plenty of hay to hide it, but is it warm enough for them :{
I read somewhere that a minimum temp. should be 17 degrees outdoors for piggies. I haven't put mine out as yet - hoping it will get warmer soon 8)
:o really, wow, my old herd of piggies were out year round in their shed with access to outside at all times. inside the shed they had loads of chinchilla nest boxes, the wooden ones from p@h, they loved them filled with hay to snuggle in, they would climb in usually 2 to a box, and they had a hutch filled with hay too to keep them warm. one of them used to love, and i mean adore, coming out when it had snowed, and she would popcorn all around in it, burying her nose and racing about. she would then pop back into the shed for half an hour and be back out again! the others would poke their noses out, but she was a very odd pigthis was her when i caught her out there one day
my beautiful girl, sadly she was attacked by a dog and killed. she was boss pig of the herd and my favourite by far, it took me a long time to come to terms with losing her.
ah yes, i understand that, i just thought 17* seemed high, but i guess straight from a heated house to outside that would make sense![]()
