Hi I am very new to this, I aquired two female 4yr old pigs from a friend who was moving into an apartment. At the moment they are out in the garden but I have bought them a lovely indoor cage for the winter. when should I bring them inside though?

any thoughts gratefully received!
 
Now is the time to be bringing them in....when it hits 10 degrees is when you need to get them in the warm :smitten:

They can still enjoy the warm weather in the day out in the run :) just play it by ear if its nice out let them run around in thier run.

Well the shed is a lot better than outside, it offers more protection than just the hutch :) Add loads of hay etc and they should be fine :D
