Mine live in the shed, I have 4 girls outside. They will move indoors for the winter all girls and nutty in a large C&C and my bunnies and boars in the suitable cages. :)
 
Outside

My boys live outside quite happily.

They only came inside for a while when I was waiting for their new hutch to be built, as they'd chewed their way through the last one!:))
 
My piggies and buns live outside but we don't tend to get the freezing temperatures in Melbourne, Australia like you do in England. No snow here in town but the temps at night can go down to 2 degrees Celsius. Lots of hay and a sheltered place works well.
Only the very old and sick come inside at our place.
 
Mine are outside too, but will move into the shed for the winter
 
I Bonnie and pheobe have done a temparary swop with the rabbit as the change of scenery will be nice for them and I'm trying to tame dave at the moment so hes inside for a bit:)
 
I have six (soon to be seven) piggies living outside through the spring and into late autumn. They will be coming inside into an unheated conservatory over the winter to protect them from sudden changes but will mainly always be outdoor.
 
My piggies live in our out building and are perfectly happy in there. They have the door wide open during the daytime (their hutch faces the door) and they are shut up at night, apart from during the warmer months when we leave a small gap.
 
My 2 live outside,then come into the shed in about september/october! depends on the weather! They are in the shed at the moment because Boris not well. Think Spangle (the hen) and Angus (the bunny) are wondering were the little thingy animals are!rolleyes
 
My piggies live outside (2 boars) but this is my first winter with them and i have no garage or shed to put them in.... (I'm trying to move house - fallen through twice now) so I got a second hand cage with two levels on it so i can bring them in when it starts getting too cold (and handy to have in case they need to be separated at any time/get sick etc)...... but you know how it is.... soooooooo hard to resist putting another two residents in there.......
 
My 6 girlies live outside in two hutches. They have towels over the front at night held in place by bricks at the top and recycling boxes infront.
 
mine live in garden and have a run in pen every evening or day if i am not at work . and come inside and have cuddle every night
 
Nope, here in Texas....its almost Always above 85f, so my babies are in my living room all the time! No chance of being too hot or too cold. I just made them a new C&C cage...i'll post pics in the Housing section soon...they love it
 
No mine inside a heated shed UK weather is dreadful. I did have them outside for a few weeks while it was hot but soon moved them back when the vile weather started. The UK is far to damp for piggies and I like to be dry while cuddling and cleaning them.
 
mine are indoor piggies - I have toyed with the idea of getting them hutches outside but I think too be honest they are quite happy with their nice quiet (minus wheeks lol) room all to themselves :))
 
Mine live outside from April to October, and in my utility room the rest of the time. I wish they could live outside all the time because of my allergies, which are much worse when they are inside, but they wouldn't get much attention or company in winter so I bring them in.

The way I see it is this. There are pro's and con's to both. Outside, they have a much larger hutch and an outside run, but of course they don't have as much human contact. Inside, they get us walking past all the time talking to them but they have a smaller cage and no run. Plus there is the allergy problem which seems to get worse every year.
 
all of mine live indoors in there own room and i wouldnt have it any other way,the main reasons are pletny of attention,better temperatures inside,quiet and peaceful,and safety reasons because if they were outside my dogs would most likely eat them or stress them out alot.
 
Mine live outside, Id love a shed for colder weather times but not at the moment got one.

If anyone was ill Id bring them in over winter but otherwise they are outside, have always kept my guineas and bunnies outside.
 
My pig lives inside - that's just what is best for me, if he was outside he wouldn't get enough attention :) (not saying other people's pigs don't get attention - this is what works for me! ;))
 
yea, our friend has a dog, who is addicted to small rodents!
so every time she comes(her name is nelly!), she sit there staring at the guinea pigs! but i keep a good eye on her! she just a big softy realy!
